An Experiment at Best

Time alone may tell who is right
revival Of the War Finance Corpo-
ration. Presumably the former fol-
lowed the advice of his secretary OF
the treasury, but mighty few fol-
lowed him. Senators Edge and Pen
rose agree with his attitude, and
both are considered level-headed
men. On the other hand Senator I'm
derwood opposed. The measure IS
an experiment at best, a resort to
extreme measures, an instance. of
fighting fire with fire. If all reports
are to be believed the needs are ex-
tremely urgent. We hope they will
be found to have been somewhat ex-
aggerated.
The Presidents veto message indi-
Gates a weakening of his one-time
robust confidence in government
management of business. There was
his experience with the railroads and
there is the record that the shipping

but $S17,271, 541, loss of more than
1SJ million dollars. No wonder he
has become skeptical of government

be impressed by the showing. Per-
haps the War Finance Corporation
may do better, but even then it is a
precedent which is likely to bother in
the future when one class wishes
special favors in legislation.

Efesident-eleet Harding let's it be
known that he is determined to en-
force prohibition and that the Vol
stead law, even though SONG people
don't like it,. is during his admins
;tration to be respected and needed.
If it is not what the people want,
they have the right to change it, but
as long as 1t remains on the books, he
will see that it is enforced.
He believes the present situation
intolerable and a mockery Of the
idea and intent Of the. 18th amend
ment- Should the present non-en-
forcement policy be allowed to be-
come chIonic, it would lead to a gen.
eral breaking down Of respect for all
law land authority and would engen -
der national spirit Of hypocrisy and
cynicism
The New Year orgies in New York
city and lesser celebrations in other
places give color to Mr.. Hardings po-
sition on this matter. According to
all reports. the infant year has never
been ushered in with more drinking
and alcoholic hiiarity in the metropo-
lis than on last Friday night. Hotels
were filled to capacity and so were
their patrons, Broadway's glasses
clinked as in the days Of y0re, the
white lights laughed prohibition to
scorn and first aid stations set up
in the hotels for the purpose minis
tered to those whose refreshments
were Of too ini1ammable a character
Where were the prohibition agents
Over on the poor East Side they went
up and down among the small joints,
raiding petty bar-tenders and truck
drivers, reaping a good harvest, it is
true, but nevertheless they were con-
spicuously lacking from the gay
white way where the real drinking
was being done openly and f1agrantly
in defiance of the Constitution of the
United States and the Federal stat
utes.
Nobody ever undertook to deny
that it would be hard work to enforce
prohibition, but that is no reason why
it should not be done. The efforts TO
that end made by the present admin
istration seem to grow worse and
worse, getting nowhere and serving
to instill spirit of contempt for the
authority of law in general and the
prohibitory law in particular.
Nor is there any soundness in the
old fashioned argument that a law
that is not enforced should be re-
| moved from the statute books for
that very reason. If this were to be
admitted, instant anarchy would re-
suit. Everybody would Immediately
evade laws for the sake of having
them repealed if they happened to
circumscribe his activities.
In the light Of reason, and in the
| light of experience where prohibition
has really been tried it has been a
great blessing. The 18th amendment
| is not likely to be changed. The ma
jority of members of the new Con-
gress have declared themselves in
favor of more rigid enforcement
| measures, rather than a relaxation of
the Volstead law. President elect
Harding's declaration that he intends
to have real prohibition by the use
of the United States army if need be,
is a strike at the root of the matter
There is law enough for this case as
for many others; the real need is en-
forcement.
