pressed by President Coo.idge,s sir
certty AID capacity.
-.ae 2.:1caot followers, however,
are sterrly critical oS the President
In two definite ways. They claim
that the President made no con-
tributfon to either of the two pres
ent great prohibition enforcement
problems. They claim that he said
nothing about how to improve the
personnel Of the prohibition enforce
ment unit and nothing about how
to improve the technique of en-
forcement itself.
"A higher personnel and keener
technique" Those are the two
things that the Pinchot followers
are framing up into being the two
main planks of their prohibition
political platform.
They charge Coolidge with hav-
ing utterly failed to make any spe-
cific suggestions whatsoever in
either matter. They claim and ex-
pect that their hero-Pinchot-wil
make specific suggestions in both
matters all the time as needed.
Contributions to Technique.
They regard his suggestion about
reVOK1nE the permits OF criminal
breweries and distil1eries as being
merely a sort of sample OF what
the Governor can do in the spe-
cific suggestion line.
They insist upon IL that this
permit suggestion is not only n.
great positive contribution to the
technique Of prohibition enforceG
ment, but that presently the governor
will make some equally positive
contribution to the problem Of how
to fill the prohibition enforcement
unit with new personnel of in
corruptible patriots.
Their idea is that Coolidge has
proved himself negative and Pin
chot will go right along exuberantly
proving himself positive.
Pinchot himself meanwhile took
time enough off from prohibition to
see various representatives OF other
great issues and incidentally to
gather up the threads of events in
the development of the Teapot
Dome disturbance.
Pinchot, it was learned. resisted
the transfer Of the Teapot Dome re-
serve from the Navy Department to
the Department Of the Interior at
the time when Albert B. Fall, as
head of the Department of the
Interior, leased the reserve to Mr..
Sinclair.
