M. E. BOARD IS
TOLD DRY LAW
IS PROGRESSING

WASHINGTON NOV 29 CP)-Sub-
stantial progress in the enforcement
of prohibition was claimed today by
the chiefs of the government dry
forces before the annual meeting of
the boards Of temperance prohibition
and public morals OF, the Methodist
Episcopal church
While Assistant Secretary Lowman
of the treasury and Prohibition Com
missioner Doran reviewed improve
mentS in the enforcement methods,
Bishop William F. Mcdowell of Wash
ington, president of the board, warned
that a program of education Of the
public in the benefits of prohibition
was needed to attain ultimate success.
He urged the dry forces not to cease
their campaign to bring about COM
plete enforcement
The work of the coast guard in
preventing smuggling Of liquor into
the United States had resulted in more
effective stoppage Of the traffic than
a year ago, Lownan said. He en-
phasized the need of temperance Or
ganizations continuing prohibition
educational campaigns" instead OF
leaving this phase of the problem in
the hands of the government Com
missioner Doran declared that the
raising Of the standard of prohibition
officers would render more effective
enforcement
A program of temperance education
through textbooks, motion pictures
and pageants has been inaugurated by
the board, it's field secretary, the Rev.
Raymond v. johnson, announced. He
said the young people of the church
were lecturing on prohibition through
out the country, adding that in his
opinion the best way "to defeat Gov
ernor Smith and other wet candidates" !"
was to send team of young method
lists on tour of every large city,
especially New York" Such a group
of speakers, he declared, would kill
many of the wet aspirants as candl-
dates for political positions"
Resolutions adopted by the board of
managers of the board outlining the
general methods 1--WE believe should be
followed in church wide program OF
temperance and public morals educa-
tion," suggested cooperation with
newspapers, motion pictures and thea
trical agencies, schools and colleges.
The solicitation from the newspapers
of the country of definite pledges to
suppost the prohibition law, or assur-
ances that nothing would be done to
cause it to be ridiculed was suggested
by the board.
"Our board should give complete re-
form service to1the press of the coun-
try, offering news, editorial informas
ton, cartoons, feature pages and SIM
liar material" the resolution said.
The resolutions recommended that
a conference be called at which rep
resentatives of the board of temper
ance, prohibition and public morals of
the Methodist Episcopal church mighC
meet with those of "the Presbyterian
church, Methodist Episcopal church,
South and the Methodist Protestant
church," to discuss the possibilities of
cooperating in q temperance educa-
tional program
In furtherance of it's own education

here, and gave new hope in league
circles that the problem of disarma-

difficulties in reduction of land

of nations bordering on. Russia that
it would be difficult if not impossible
