N. Y. Representative Says
Regulation Has "Gone

'Fanaticism and regulation gone

Bourke Cochran of New York, demo-
crat, characterized the prohibition
statute, claiming that prohibition has
failed to prohibit" in a speech in the
House late yesterday If the President
should call in the prohibition enforce

the civil war to enforce the four
teenth and fifteenth amendments, he
declared, the result would still be the

Enforcement and Disorder.
every attempt to enforce morality
is attended by disorder, and there are
localities in this country where the
eighteenth amendment cannot be en-

Referring to the shocking revela-
lions at Mer Rouge" Mr.. Cochran de-
clared that "a man was killed because
he was a bootIegger and a girl de-
ported because her moral standard
was not what mob believed it should
be-" This, he said, was an example
of regulation gone mad.
Representative Blanton, democrat,
Texas, asked if liquor law enforce
ment was not difficult because Con-
gress voted SS,000.000 for enforcement
and members by their speeches put
up SS0.O00.000 in obstacles.
IAN obstacle in this case is one
thing which cannot be created-tt Is

Representative Cramton, republi-
can, Michigan, replying to Mr.. Cock
