GOV. PINCHOT HEARS
FROM SECY. MELLON
Dry Law Points Raised by tno
Pennsylvania Governor Are
Criticised.

Neutrality-suspicious.. Pinchot Oh
Pennsylvania, is advised in a letter
sent him by Secretary Mellon that the
treasury is invoking every available
means for prohibition enforcement
and that statements to the contrary
by the governor in a letter addressed
to Mr.. Mellon are "%gratuitous II not
founded on fact" Mr.. Melons reply
which took up in detail the points
raised by the Pennsylvania governor
suggested in conclusion that 1t would
be better to expend energy in ascer'
tanning facts and actually enforcing
the law than in the promotion OF un-
justified criticism He informed the
governor further that 1t ought 10 be
clear to you that l could not be less
DESTROYS that the prohibition laws be
enforced in Pennsylvania than in any
other state or section Of the nation.
Before any question has been
raised by YOU" the letter continued,
II had already directed that a re-
survey Of breweries and Of the allow
ances OF alcohol for n~on-beverags
purposes be made in the state or
Pennsylvania, and you may be assured
that it is my purpose to do all that
can to enforce the law, and faithfully
cooperate with you in that under
taking in the state Of Pennsylvania.
But | am, with great respect, on
strained to say that it would stand
all concerned in better stead If ener-
gies were expended in a sincere effort,
in the first place, to find what the
real facts are as to those who are
charged with the duty Of enforcement,
and next to enforce the law as best
we can, and at the same time to
recognize the futility Of unjustified
criticism based upon an imperfect UNI
derstanding Of the facts"
Gov. Pinchot's inquiry whether Sec
rotary Mellon would authorize state
enforcement officers, in Pennsylvania
to make inspections Of distilleries and
breweries was answered in the affirm
ative by the treasury head, who as
sured the governor that he desired to
employ every means Of bringing about
closer cooperation between the fed
eral and state forces.
Referring to the powers which Mr..
Mellon believes the Pennsylvania law
accords the state executive, the sec.
rotary asserts that means Of obtain
ing a search warrant are much easier
and that action can be done more
quickly under the Pennsylvania code
than under the Volstead act.

Message to American People on

of the wheat problem, In the opinion

taken to adjust American production
in times of world overproduction. Ai-
ready the directors, Eugene Meyers
jr., and Frank w. Mondell, nave
talked over their findings with Mr..
Coolidge and it has been indicated
that after further conferences with
private interests concerned the pro
posals advanced in the report may
form the basis of a definite admins
tration policy OF relief. Whether leg
islation will be ready for presenta-
ton at the opening Of the next con
gress. however, remains undetermln'
ed.
The reports warned against 100
much sympathy and emotion IN WORK
ing out the problem and urged mann
tenance of "a thoroughly rational at
titude" in efforts to alleviate distress.
Il added that countless means OF at
tanning the end long sought were AID
before the two officials in various con
f~erences, but most of them were re-
jected as cures likely To prove more
damaging than the disease.
