NEW YORK'S GOVERNOR HAS

The New York vets declare the
repeal or the State enforcement act
is first definite step toward per-
hitting the sale Of beer and wine,
and already are planning to carry
their fight into the next Congress.
New York "wets" plan to get back
the whole flood Of intoxicating
beverages and to repeal not only
national but state prohibition laws.
1t means a clean-cut notification Of
the Constitution" says Wayne B.
Wheeler, general counsel Of the
Anti-Saloon League, at would make
the United States the laughing stock
of the world and would demonstrate
our democracy is failure"
This will be met by a "dry"
drive In Congress for increased ap-
propriations to enable the federal
government to enforce the Volstead
Act. 1t is. conceded by the Inter-
national News Service that the sig
nature of New York's governor to
the repeal bill reduces the number
of prohibition enforcement officers
in that state from $4,000 to 200, to
the number of federal officers and
agents within its borders.
Ohio's~ Attorney General, c. O.
Crabbe, telegraphs the Federal Pro-
hibfltion Commissioner at Washing
ton that "Ohio Is against secession
and is ready to lend him aid to
clean up New York" 49,.
Governor Pinchot, speaking for
Pennsylvania, New York's neigh
boring state, pledges the country
that whatever any other state has
done or may do, Pennsylvania will
stand by the Constitution and the
laws Of the United States"
President Harding will call q con-
ference Of governors OF states to
meet In Washington before his de.
parturs June 20, TOR Alaska, to
discuss prohibition enforcement and
the drafting OF q new enforcement
program.
Addressing an audience at Topeka
Sunday night Senator Capper said:
New York's governor seems to
think New York Is greater than the
United States and bigger than its
Government. South Carolina once
thought 1t was greater than the
Union, but was taught its plan for
notification wouldn't work. The
Volstead Law will not be repealed
nor weakened. It viii be strength
ened and an appropriation for its
successful enforcement win be
made"
Nineteen States have strengfh-
ened their prohibitinn code within
recent month"; and sud- legislation
