Bishops Word on
Beer Not Favorable
To Case of the "Wets"

Washington, May 14-Testimony
before the house judiciary committee
today at hearings on pending bills to
legalize 2.75 per cent beer was mo-
mentarily diverted to the question of
present day American morals when
Bishop James Cannon, Jr., Of the
Methodist Episcopal church. South.
told the committee he thought there
was more immortality than drinking"
among the younger generation.
The Bishops opinion was given In
reply to a question by Representative
O'Sullivan, Democrat, Connecticut, as
to whether he did not think there was
more drinking among young men and
women under prohibition.
Bishop Cannon declared the free
moral life of France" had made it's
impression on American morals and
that the young men who served over
seas during the war had been differ
ent since their return.
Asked for his opinion concerning
stories of high school boys carrying
flask in their hip pockets, the bishop
said there probably were exceptional
cases where boys might do this out OF
a spirit of adventure.
In response to questions concerning
the Intoxicating effect of beer, the
bishop said he had been somewhat
out of contact with beer drinkers
"since my college days" but added
that some of his classmates used to
get drunk enough. off of beer.
Harry S. Warner, general secre-
tary of the Intercollegiate Prohibition
Association, testified that the STU
dents of 1924 certainly are not drink
ing more than students of past years
and they do not favor modification OF
the law" Such drinking as is found.
he said, sis spectacular. exceptional
and gains undue publicity"
