THE HIGH COST OF

W. J. BRYAN ON FUTURE PROHIBITION
PROBLEMS

(From article in Chicago Herald-E
The sixth problem which will con-
front President Harding is the en-
forcement of Prohibition. While
there has been a very large decrease
in the consumption of intoxicants and
a very material improvement in con-
ditions, there is still organized oppo-
sition to the enforcement of the Vol
stead Act.
Such difficulties as we now have
arise chiefly from two sources-hrst,
the temptation to make money out of
an illicit traffic, and, second, the hope
of weakening the law by legislation.
1t is important, therefore, that the
new attorney general shall give the
law-breakers to understand that his
oath of office will not be violated.
Any weakening on the part of the
Department of Justice would inaugu-
rate a reign of terror; and concession
made to those who defy the law would
increase the difficulties of enforce
ment.
The door of hope must be closed
to law-breakers. The new Congress
was elected nearly a year after the
Prohibition law went into effect and
nearly two years after the amend
ment was ratified.
The vets polled their maximum
strength in 1920 and, in spite of all
they could do, the drys have large
majority in both Houses. Congress
will probably have an opportunity to
speak emphatically on the subject at
an early date.
The more emphatic the pronounce
ment the sooner Prohibition will be
accepted as the settled policy of the
country.
Smuggling Will Increase
In speaking of enforcement it must
not be overlooked that the smuggling
of liquor in from the outside will in
crease in relative Importance as inter
nal sources of supply dry up.
We shall soon have to deal with an
international question raised by the
use of adjacent foreign territory as
base for conspiracies against our
Prohibition law.
We must go to the limit in pre-
venting American citizens from form
ing on foreign soil conspiracies
against their own government, and
then foreign governments will be I'M
able to resist our appeal when we ask
them to prevent the use of their terri
tory by others who conspire to VIC
late the Prohibition law, just as they
