MISLEADING THE YOUTH
MODIFICATION OF VoLSTEAD
LAW

One remedy proposed for the imaginary
injury inflicted on the people by prohibit
ton is modification of the Volstead law,
regardless of the fact that the wet forces
which are now fighting for notifications
of the prohibition law are the same forces
which opposed every restriction placed
upon l>quor manufacture and sale in the
days of license. There is none among
them who lifts his voice in defense of the
saloon.
There are none to be found who will
even say a good word for intoxicating
liquor of any kind. They are fighting un-
der camouAage and in disguise. They
want Intoxicating liquor, they want the
saloon or its equivalent, but both will so
by other names.

FLOODING EUROPE WITH FALSE
PROPAGANDA
Eighth, through press, platform and
pulpit utterances court decisions and can
didates' announcements the vets seek to
make American prohibition laughing
stock abroad, in the hope that the other
nations of the earth will not follow Amer
ica's example, and that Prohibition may
be stopped at the boundary lines of this
country, we'll knowing that if prohibition
is to extend into other countries it can
never be broken down here. They wish,
also, to bring the reflex effect that will
come back to us from other nations, a
part of which effect would be to add to
sentiment among the aliens now in the
United States.
The wine interests of Europe openly
boast that they have sent and are ready to
continue to send money to this side of the
Atlantic or to aid our own vets in the
fight against this constitutional amend
ment Thus what is an American nation
a policy becomes an international issue.
RECRUITING PROMINENT PER
SONAGES
Ninth, the vets are planning to raise a
large fund with which to carry on their
campaign. In order to do this at all they
must enlist respectable men of large
means and of heavy responsibilities They
must align on the side Of hostility to pro-
hibition progress a few of the most re-
sponsib,e men of the nation Such an
alignment is one of the strongest stra-
tegic weapons they have with which to at
tack the temperance citadel Such men
have international regulations and their
viewpoint OH any question is important.
An array of such men is of much greater
worth than the money they will get from
any big givers.
Whenever such a parsonage is enrolled
his name is broadcast around the world.
Because it is unusual it is news
APPEAL FOR STATES RIGHTS"
Tenth, the vets are calling to their aid
the doctrine OF states rights and local self
determination. They insist that prohibi-
ton is not a matter of federal concern,
and that to each Individual state should be
left the power to decidu for itself what,
within its own borders, shall be the def
milton Of Intoxicating liquors
Standing on such platform they at
tack both the federal Amendments and
statutes and the state amendments and
laws. If they had their way not only
would federal amendment and statutes be
repealed, but all state anti-liquor laws
would be thrown into the discard
Such are tie principal points in the wet
campaign against the Eighteenth Amend
ment all for the purpose of influencing
the youth, the honest wets-who are few
in number and are those vets whose pur-
pose is not disqualification nor to en-
rich those who would make and sell liq-
nor but who honestly believe prohibition
is wrong in principle-and the foreign
born citizers Oh our shores.
This attack can be successfully thWart-
ed only by the most vigorous education
al campaign the drys have ever conduct

For instance, the Eighteenth Amend
ment prohibits Intoxicating beverages.
The Volstead law defines Intoxicating
beverages. That law can be changed or
repealed entirely by bare majority vote
of Congress They. therefore say; LET
Congress change the definition of intox-
icating liquors, permitting beverage
with a kick, that is, a beverage that in
toxicates, but let ii be termed non-in-
toxicating drink.

HAVE DESIGNS ON CONGRESS

Fifth, the liquor crowd would elect wet
congressman in 1923, and any replacement
at Washington OF dry national legislator
by wet national legislator is not only
real advantage in itself to the anti-proh-
bitionists, but also a great psychological
victory for them.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1927-12-01

alize what too many friends OF prohibit
ton do not realize, that such president,
by virtue of the administrative and jul
dicial appointments within his hands can
hamstring prohibition, and that, as the
titular leader of his own political party he
will exert tremendous influence on the
congressman and senators of all parties.
The president appoints all federal judg-
es, attorneys and marshaIs, including fill
ing of vacancies on the Supreme bench.
1t will not be long, it is said until there
may be two such vacancies, and the presi-
dent elected next year will name their
successors. Therein is seen the signif-
canoe of Stayton's statement.
The vets further understand that the
election of a wet president serves notice to
the people of America and the rest of the
world that prohibition is losing popular
ity. Such an election would be considered
a nationwide referendum on prohibition.
1t would have the effect of increasing dis
respect for law, and of helping wet candi-
dates for office to build up stronger de-
fences, and weak, unopinionated candi-
dates of yielding to what would seem to
them a radical change in popular senti-
mint.

the use of fender welt, consisting
of a contoured piece of heavy
fabric-covered felt between the body
and the tenders of the car. Springs
are of the new secret process alloy

fort.
Other refinements are: Complete
encasing of battery and tool boxes,
preventing entry Of dust or water:
new friction pads on front brake
support plates, preventing rattles;
new carburetor heat control valve;
new heat indicator on the instru-
ment panel: new reinforcement Of
the frame for rigidity: new heavier

new nickel steering column: new
improved horn and new type of
foot accelerator.
New and more beautiful body
hardware for the interior is also
adopted throughout the Advanced
! Six series to match the beauty of
the new exterior colors and new
upholstery.
The improvements which have
been made in the Special Six series
are very similar to those which
have been made on the Advanced
Six. The body lines are lower and
more sweeping and the wheels are
smaller. New alloy steel springs
have been adopted.

which Nash has adopted for these
cars. Many striking new har.
monies are used, giving these cars
brilliance of appearance which
Is unexcelled in their fields.
Beauty Very Marked
The radiator design of the stand
ard six causes this series, now to
possess a beauty of appearance
which not long ago was confined
entirely to cars costing two or three
times as much.
The size of the motor in the
standard, six has been increased, Civ
ing this car a degree of perform
ance ability which, according to
Nash officials, is entirely new to-
this price field.
In addition to Increasing the size
of the motor, the size of the crank
shaft has also been ma, larger to
achieve greater motor smoothness.
The crankshaft will, of course, con.
tinue to be of the 7-bearing type
which has made Nash smoothness
famous.
Insulated From Frame.
The new springs of secret alloy
steel which Nash now introduces
will be used on the Standard Six
as well as on the Special Six and
the Advanced Six for increased rid

ton in this respect is the use of

points of contact with rubber. pro.

Change In Body Lines
Other important refinements are
the carburetor heat control valve on
the instrument board, a new type

new stop light switch. heavier
oil pump cover plate, new parking
lights, new instrument panel in
directly lighted, new remote control
door locks new light control on
the steering wheel and new body
hardware of special Nash design.
AS far as the Advanced Six series
is concerned, the most important
change is, of course. the adoption
of new lower body lines, new body
colors and deeper radiator. A
number of important refinements
in the interior and under the hood
have also been made, however. The
clutch, flywheel and crankshaft are
now balanced as a unit on highly
sensitive machine for increased
smoothness in operation.

A new radiator design, lower and
more sweeping body lines and a
brilliant array of new color combi-
nations make these new models
without question the most beautiful
ever produced by Nash and the
cars fully justify reports which
have been current for the past week
that Nash would introduce an
array of cars which could COM
mand praise.
New Springs Are Featured
Imp ort.ant mechanical refine

announced at this time, keeping
pace with the progress which has
been made in increasing the beauty
of the cars appearance. Outstand-

 Successes and Failures

George w. Aylesworth, director of the Junior Republic at Litchtield, brought to the weekly meeting Of the New Britain Exchange club d new and different type of speaker than the club has ever listened to, . speaker who asked questions rather than stated facts.
 He asked what the members of the club wanted to hear When urged to speak on the history oe the Junior Republic he gave an outline of it's past. from it's begin ming in 1905 up through it's strug- eing years, of it's facing defeat in the fire of 1914 and up to it's pres ent day status.
 He decried the old system which lost track of the boys who attend cd the school after they had been
