WASHINGTON. Aug. 22.-Senator
Reed, Democrat. Missouri, issued a
statement tonight saying erroneous
reports had been circulated To the
enect that he had attacked prohibi-
tionis's "and likcned them to the
burners of witches"
Il nave never criticized any man
because he is a prohibitionist, and

absolute prohibition" he said. Il
stated in my speeches that the
eighteenth amendment, being a part
of the Constitution, was binding on
me and everybody else. stated
that ] had made no opposition to
tho Nolstcad act because I recognized
the fact that the eighteenth amend
mcnt was the fundamental law II the
land
That is still my position. Rut the
issue now before Congress is not
prohibition or antiprohibition. The
question now presented is whether
the fourth amendment to ;he Consti-
tuition. which guarantees the citizen
against unreasonable searches and
seizures and provides that searches
and seizures can only be made pur-
suant to a warrant issued 5y court.
shall be nuilincd by statute in 50 .ar
as statute can work that out
raEeous end. When it cones to
such n question as that. propose to
stand by the fourth amendment
Declaring it was idle TO claim that
prohibition could not bn enforced
without destroying the Constitution.
Senator Reed added:
But II we were forccd 10 choose
between a failure to enforce the pro-
hibi,ory law and the destruction OF
the Constitution, wha. American
citizen would hesitate for moment
in deciding that the Constitution
must he preserved? Their" are GER
tain fanatics whom 7 did denounce
and whom now denounce who are
willing to destroy the Constitution
in order to enforce this law. Men
OF that kind are very dangerous citi-
