DRY LAW FIGHT
IS UP To STATES
Coolidge Replies to Governor
PinChot's Arrangement.
CITES FEDERAL ACTIVITIES
United States Government to Center
Rum War on Storage Leaks and
Smuggling, Says White House
Statement.

hington.-President Coolidge let
it be known that he had no idea Of
taking charge personally of dry law
enforcement, and that the various
states will be called upon to bear their
share of the burden.
This was the administra TONS reply
to Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania,
who at the citizenship conference just
closed charged the Federal government
with responsibility for laxity in en-
forcement and said that there is an
emergency" which justifies the Presi-
dents taking the wheel
Late Tuesday Mr.. Coolidge called
into conference Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon, Assistant Secretary
Moss and Collector of Revenue Glace.
These three are responsible for the
functions of the prohibition unit.
Hip Pockets Up to State.
"The states will be called upon to
look after the hip pocket cases. The
federal government will check leaks
of alcohol and Withdrawals and stop
smuggling. This is the program in
NUTSHELL" a spokesman said.
1t was emphasized at the White
House that the President could not
take personal charge of dry law en-
forcement under the law. A special
bureau for the purpose is accountable
TO the collector of revenue and in
turn, through the Secretary of the
Treasury, to the President it was
stated.
States Shift Burden.
1t was pointed out that the dry act
gives the states concurrent powers
with the federal government, but that
instead of employing this power, the
majority have shifted the burden to
the United States.
The President will urge that when
city, county or state officials make
arrests, the cases be brought to trial
under the laws of the state, instead
of in the federal court.
For the federal government he will
promise that all the available agencies
will be employed 10 prevent smuggling
and the withdrawal of liquor In guam
titles from warehouses.
