SEES VICTORIES
FOR PROHIBITION
by United Press Leased Wire

CHICAGO. Nov 6.-ProhibitiOn-
lists are making a winning fight for
enforcement of the Folstead Act,
Representative Grant NJ. Hudson,
Michigan. told the 22nd national
convention of the Anti-Saloon Lea
cue of America here today.
"The prohibition laws are more
generally observed than formerly,
convictions of violators have III.
creased and Jail sentences have been
gaining in favor Hudson dcclar-
ed.
As chairman of the special com
mittee of the 6Sth congress ap-
pointed to investigate traffic in al
coholic liquors, Hudson has spent
the greater portion Of the summer
sending out qucstonnaircS to GOV
crnment offitiyls, state Officers.
prohibition agents. social workers
and business leaders. The answers
are being tabulatcd and will be re
ported 10 the winter session Of
congress.
'What ! am telling you people
the substance of the official report
that will be presented to congress.
After careful study and inveS-
tigation. we have reached the con.
clnsion that the great weakness in
the enforcement of the 18th amend.
mcnt through both federal and state
enforcement codes has been the lack
OF adequate penalties. The system
OF fines for the major violations of
the law has had no dctcrring Of
feets and operates only as 4 license
law. -
Laws should be passed, Hudson
said. whereby continual vio(dtors
of the law should be departed if
they are aliens and thrown into
penitentiaries if they are American
citizens.
But, aside from this weakness,
prohibition has been success,
the congressman continued.

with Douglas fir from the Pacific
coast having shifted the market so
that much of this hemlock timber
has been diverted to the pulp mills.
