BRYAN INF new
WAR ON VETS
Helps Prepare Appeal by Church
Council Asking Enforcement
of All Laws.

Washington, Nov. IAN appeal
ito all Christian people to exert
every influence to secure the i'm
partial enforcement of all laws,
was issued today by the Federal
Council of Churches of Christ in
America.
1t declared the announcement
of the program Of the forces OPP
posed to prohibition is direct
challenge to the. churches and the
friends Of orderly government" be-
cause they propose to support can
didates in the coming election who
will vote to legalize the manufac-
ture and sale of beer and wines.
The appeal, which was prepared
by special committee, including
William Jennings Bryan, asserts
that the opponents of the Volstead
act demand restoration of the
manufacture and sale of beer and
wine in face Of the fact that both
are Intoxicating and therefore can
not be legalised without first chang
ing the constitution" and that such
action would lead inevitably to
the return of the outlawed saloon"
Even more serious than the open
campaign against prohibition" says
the appeal. ARE the sinister influ-
ences constantly at work to pre-
vent enforcement of the existing
law
"Since the foes of prohibition are
now united to defeat the constitu-
tion,' the statement concludes, lit
is high time for the Christian forces
of our country also to unite and to
be as consistent at the ballot box
in their support Of the constitution
as its enemies are in attempting
its notification"
