ment and the Volstead act.
The criticisms hurled against that piece
Of legislation are, without exception, based
on the violation of il, not obedience to its
provision When it can be shown that
obeying the Volstead act gets people into
trouble and that when it is honestly and
successfully enforced the community gets

retreat and should be resisted 1t is an
