REPLIES TO FESS
ON V0LSTEAD ACT
Gov. Smith Defends Demand
of Legislature for Modifica-
ton of Law.

By the Associated Press.
ALBANY, n. Y, March 27.-Gov.
Smith today made public letter re-
plying to United States Senator Fess,
republican, Ohio, who recently took
exception to the action of the New
York Legislature in memorializing
Congress for modification OF the Vol
stead act.
I'VE ask for a reasonable congress
sional interpre citation of what con-
stituteS an intoxicating beverage"
was the keynote of the governors
state was not asking laxity in en-
forcement of the federal prohibition
laws.
Illegal Trafhc Cited.
I'VE have had Illegal traffic in
liquors and official corruption" said
the governors letter. The latter is
clearly proven by the brevity of the
ohcial life OF many that represent
the government In the enforcement
of the Volstead act. and their sum-
mary removal or transfer from this
district is usually under the shadow
Of suspicion. The moving pictures
depicting the weekly news show q
feet OF rum boats lying outside of
the three limit. The smuggling
der has become a notorious abuse.
People who for years were used
to a harmless glass OF beer have
been put upon whisky diet.
Il am impressed by the figures
you give OF the vote In your own
state on 2.75 per cent beer. as we'll
as the vote of Michigan and Cali
fornia. Why not settle the question
for all time and provide for that
vote in every state, with Congress
fixing 2.75 per cent as a maximum
alcoholic content and allowing the
popular vote to fix the minimum?
That. surely. is democratic govern
ment.
Declared .Voice of People"
1T is the voice Of the people
themselves and if that is not the
essence OF democracy. then we had
better turn the key in the door and
go out of business"
The governor took Senator Fess to
task for intellectual intolerance"
SAYING:
The intellectual intolerance OF
those like yourself. who favor theo-
retical total abstinence instead OF
genuine temperate Is we'll illustrated
in your communication.
The New York legislature. con-
sisting of one democratic and one re-
publican house, exercises its tradi-
tional right to memorable Congress
favoring the amendment OF federal
statute.
