SENATOR VOICES SENTIMENTS OF
MANY REPUBLICAN THINKERS
Resume of Remarks by Senator Walter E. Edge of New
Jersey in His Discussion with Former Assemblyman
George A. Hobart
NoN-EFFEcT1vENEss OF THE voLsTEAD

4th. That the only subject matter
prohibited by the Eighteenth Amend
ment is intoxicating liquors for bev-
erage purposes; that the Volstead
Act in framing a definition Of what
shall constitute an intoxicating bev-
erage and thus limiting alcoholic con-
tents to one-half of one per cent
the plainly expressed language of the
Eighteenth Amendment, and states as
a fact that which is admittedly false.
9Th. That if the trainers had meant
to prohibit alcoholic beverages, they
would have said so and not used the
term intoxicating beverages; that no
law can command respect or properly
be enforced so long as it violates, upon
its face, the canons of fact and truth.
The Supreme Court in passing on the
act never indicated that Congress did
not have full power to raise the per-
centage of alcohol. What is intoxi-
eating is entirely within the discretion
of Congress.
9Th. That because Congress has
the power to enact unjust and oppres-
sive lows, is no excuse for the use of
such power. Possession of power does
not always justify it's use. Congress
could use it's power of taxation to
absolutely destroy business but would
the right to exercise such power justify
it's use? Because Congress had the
power to enact the Volstead Law is
no excuse for it's arbitrary oppressive
and false provisions.
7th. That prior to the enactment of
the Volstead Act, no law of Congress,
no ruling of any Federal department,
and no finding of and Federal official
ever determined that one-half of one
per cent. of alcohol in a beverage con-
stituted an intoxicating liquor. The
use of the Federal standard of one
half of one per cent. of alcohol to fer
mented liquors, was applied only and
exclusively for the purpose of taxation.
But when the citizens of the United
States ratified the Eighteenth Amend
ment, they said that the prohibition
therein contained should alone be
against Intoxicating liquors." not al
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1923-05-31

coholic liquors. This is plain and
simple language which every citizen
fully understood.
Because the States could, and GER
tain of them have, prohibited the sale
and use of beverages that contain
one-half of one per cent. of alcohol,
and certain others, beverages that con
tain no alcohol at all, in no possible
manner justified Congress in framing a
Federal Statute, carrying out a clearly
expressed mandate from the people,
to overstep the intent Of the amend
ment and deliberately prohibit "nOn-
intoxicating liquors = = = for beverage
purposes"
A modification of the Volstead Act
so as to permit of the use of beverages
containing more than one-half of one
per cent. of alcohol, but not, in fact,
intoxicating, would not in anywise in
trefere with the right or power of
any State, so desiring, to prohibit
half of one per cent. alcohol; nor
would such change in the Volstead
Act interfere with any of the prohibit
tory and enforcement legislation
which the States now have on their
statute books. Each State would still
be as free to deal with prohibition and
it's enforcement as it is today. If it
wished to raise the alcoholic content
on Notwithstanding beverages to a
point not beyond the limitation of a
revised Volstead Act, properly inter-
preting the Eighteenth Amendment, it
could do so. 1t could refrain from
doing so. 1t could make it's prohibit
tary legislation still more stringent
if the desires of the people so required,
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1923-05-31

but it could not enforce its will upon
others.
9Th. The proponents of the Volstead
Act did not contend that beer contain
ing one-half of n per cent. of alco-
hol was intoxicating or near jntoxf-
eating. Time after time, throughout
the public hearings, when the Act was
under consideration three and a half
years ago, appears the statement, I'VE
are asking for a limit of one-half OF
one per cent. in order to accomplish
the end in view" DR.. Shields, who
suggested this discussion tonight, only
a few weeks ago., when in a contro-
versy with my friend Governor Stokes
stated, Congress nev said one-half
of one per cent. was intoxicating when
it established it as a standard for
the enforcement of the Eighteenth
Amendment. 1t was and is a good
point from which to start to enforce
the amendment" says the Doctor.
They had their way and note the
results.
DO L neeu 10 quOIe any othoA "
tiles? Is there any possible excuse
for the Federal Government continu-
ing to spend many millions of dollars
a wear to enforce a deliberate mis-
Interpretation of the Constitution?
In view of the existing and universal
disregard of an unfair and unjust
stipulation why do they not acknow-
ledge their error and the failure OF
the policy they then advised?
9th. That this arbitrary limitation
therefore precludes the manufacture
of beverages admittedly non-intoxica-
ting. In doing this the Volstead Act
not only deliberately violates the ex-
