Senator COuzens Says
 Prohibition Unsound,
 Cannot Be Enforced

New York Senator James COuzens. republican, of Michigan, on arrivrl here today, reaf6rmed his recent stand that prohibition in the United States is uusouud and caunoL be enforced.
 ''The liquor lsestion is not settled, y said Mr. Couzens. at is futile to say that Washington has settled the booze question. There is DO use to play the ostrich and stick ones head in the sapd, aod because we do not see things sal that they do not exist"

 Il think now as l thought when I went to Europe in July" said Couzens. ,"1nstead of hedging and reneging, l stand 6lGner on this liquor question than ever before. do know personally that prohibition cannot be euforced.
 'rhe principal reason that we cannot coatlnue pre Albition is that people do not want it. l do not know anything about Vermont or about the smaller towns. I do know that New York does not want il, and Detroit doesn't, and many other of the larger cities. Of course there are ard regions in the United Staies where prohibition is wanted, but 1 don't think that those areas make up the majority of the peo- ple."
 'You have courage to speak this way" the senator was told by his inter- viewers.
 Many other senators and congress- men Say the Same thing, but refuse to De quoted. It is because they lack courage was the quick reply. Ut IS for this very reason that our congress men place their jobs above helping conditions in Europe or helping the Americun farmer or many ol her issues that there is so much uncertainty to- day.
 We have too many congressman, or politicians, who thinlN more of their jobs than they do of the welfare of the country. Just as long as this is their attitude, so long will We have the con- ditions we have to contend with now.
