WEEKS OPPOSES
USE ARMY TO AID
DRY ENFORCEMENT

Washington, June 2S.-Flat OPP
position to any project for using the
army to aid in prohibition enforce
ment work was voiced here today by
Secretary Weeks, speaking at the
graduation exercises at the Army
War College.
II cannot believe" he said that
persons who advocate unusual en-
ployment for the army. such as en-
forcement of prohibition, have given
serious thought to the possible con-
sequences of such a practice" :.
The war secretary said he was OPP
posed to the use of the army for en-
forcement Of civil laws unless all
civil police power shall have been
exhausted and there results that
that state of insurrection and re-
bellion' which federal law provides
shall alone justify the use of troops
in affording the protection guaran-
teed to state governments by the
constitution"
I'm 1879" he said, Congress with
a full knowledge of the dangers and
abuses which had arisen as result
of the use of the army in augmenta-
tation of the civil police power, saw
fit to pass the act forbidding the
participation of even single men,
Der of the military establishment In
a posse cOmitatus.' The reasons foi
that legislation appear to me now
/ to be as sound as when enacted" r.
Mr.. Weeks position was stated in
cidentally to his plan to the gradu-
ating officers, who have successfully
completed the final stage of their
military education and been recorded
as eligible for high commands and
general staff duty. to see that the
regular army hereafter takes a lar
ger share in the civil life of the coun-
try. The time has passed. he said,
when there should be an isolation for
the regulars, the national defence act
having made the work of providing
for national security equally that of
civilians and regulars, although the
regulars did the planning.
ut is both logical and desirable
that there should be complete under
standing and cooperation between
our citizens and those who are i'm
mediately responsible for making ct-
fective plans for our defence" Secre-
tary Weeks said. THE War Depart
