Honest Vote
Asked on
Prohibition

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dan.
20.-CP)-If the citizens Of the
United States would "vote rs
they drink and drink Is they
vote" the present prohibition
situation would be relieved con-
siderably In the opinion Of U. S.
Attorney Emory r. Buckner, Of
New York, expressed in an in
teryicw with the Yale Daily
News.
"Thc great burden today"
Mr.. Buckner said, 'is that peo-
pie may vote for prohibition or
be in favor Of it because they
think it will be Of benefit to
others, but they do not aid in its
enforcement themselves.
'Tf the citizens Of this country
do not like prohibition they
should not privately criticise or
covertly seek to hamstring law
enforcement. They should, like
true Americans, come out in the
open and fight for the repeal Of
the eighteenth amendment or its
modification"
