fore the election of convention delegates.
1t must comprehend both conventions. 1t
would be strategic blunder to concen-
trate on one and neglect the other.
"The majority of both conventions will
be dry unless the prohibition sentiment
of this country is left leaderlcss, unless
those of us who have been entrusted
with the task fail to mobilize the pub
lie conscience. Victory is within our grasp
Thus far the women particularly have
accepted its significant requirements. Per-
sistently they have refused to compro-
mise. Prohibitionists did not make this is
sue; but if we face it in silence or if
we reject its challenge. the issue vii
eventually unmake prohibition.
Let the dry leadership of Democracy
see to it that their wet opponents are
outvoted next summer when the Demo
cratic party gathers to name the gentle.
man it would elect to succeed Calvin
Coolidge. Let dry Republicans go out
to achieve a similar result. In any other
course lies the threat of an ultimate dis.
aster as vast as would have been the de.
struction of George Washington's armies
The issue is greater than prohibition. Its
ultimatum is ordered government or an.
archy."

"As to the question OF prohibition it
self, there is no disagreement among the
temperance forces of the country. We
accept it as the greatest social adven-
ture in history We agree that the prac-
ticabi1ity of its enforcement has been
amply proven wherever enforcement has
not been vitiated by venal officials and
selfish politicians. We agree that labor has
been enriched and that the public saw
ings have been vastly increased.
1--WE have also come to see the neces-
sity of continuing the educational pro-
gram which was too quickly neglected, or
abandoned, after the Eighteenth Amend
ment was passed.
But the particular challenge that we
face tonight is the challenge to a free
people to carry out their own properly
expressed sovereign judgment. 1t is the
challenge to carry into full effect the set
tied conviction, politically expressed,
of a large majority of the nations vot-
ers.
"The time is past for equvocation AS
sumption is not enough. Negation is not
enough, and silence is pusillanimous. The
political party not declaring for the Eight
eenth Amendment will not enforce it. We
must capture and hold the administration
of government if we are finally to es-
tabish and perfect the Eighteenth
Amendment.
There must be, there shall be, CAM

publican conventions for law enforce

JAPANESE GENERAL DRY
Lieut. General Inoue Succeeded in Abol-
ishing Sake From Army Canteen

American Issue has received the follow
ing communication from Mr.. Shozo Awo-
ki of Japan:
"I travelled continuously for twenty
days, speaking twice or three times day.
to an audience on an average of over two
thousand. I am now planning for another
similar campaign in Osaka, Kyoto, and
Kobe, Lieutenant General Inoue, the
commander of the second division of the
imperial army, who recently succeeded in
abolishing sake at the canteens, will be
one of the speakers in this campaign"
This is indeed encouraging news from
Japan-abolishng of national drink in the
army canteens and the volunteer service
of the lieutenant-general in promoting
temperance sentiment throughout the en-
pire.

zone of the greatest dangers at the
present time is the loss of morale by the
prohibition forces. Today the greatest Of
fensive in the history of prohibition is
being launched at the morale of the pro-
h5bition forces The impression is given
out that the whole country has gone on
drunken debauch, whereas the truth is
that perhaps ninety-hve per cent of the
country is not affected.
Gan interesting phase of this movement
is the present offensive launched against
the morale of the so-called Solid South.
The South is not going to be alarmed
greatly by the bugaboo of force bill in
congress based on laws dealing with the
franchise, for these laws have been tested
and the Supreme Court of the United
States has held them to be constitutional.
Nor will the great host of dry voters in
the southern states be stampeded by time
serving politicians who think that any
means whatsoever are justified to secure
the end of Democratic victory. Some of
the papers are telling us we must by all
means keep the prohibition issue out of
the next presidential campaign, while at
the same time they are fostering or en-
couraging the candidacy of one or more
Democratic governors who are SO wet
that they would destroy the explosive
power of a whole magazine of gunpow-
der by merely walking through it. The
South is not going to be deceived by this
type of politics and in my judgment a
good many politicians will be visited by
a political earthquake which will greatly
disturb their dreams and their future po-
ltical careers, if they continue trying to
force the South into Line with Governog

over 900 persons. It was preceded by
course of temperance lessons lasting five
days, organized in common by the State
School of Hygiene and the Anti-Alcoholic
League of Warsaw. Three hundred per-
sons from all the regions of Poland took
part in this course. The congress itself,
prepared with much care by Editor Szy-
manski of Warsaw, and ably presided
over by Prof Gantkowsli, made deep
impression upon the members.

The transmitter is located In the
bedroom of the owners home, it

in the corner of store" Never
theless Waller testified that the sta
ton served five counties with pop
ulation of 100000, and put on pro-
grams of especial interest to the
listeners-in in that section.
Chairman Robinson noted that the
equipment included no wave meter
for frequency check, and that the
transmitter was assembled of parts
of questionable nature" He further
said the facilities in this area we're
inadequate and that If it were shown
WEBE was serving the public in

quirements or for violating regulations
This curtailment will help somewhat,
but the elimination of Iow-powered sta
tons is not the solution of the radio
problem. That Is why the commission
may sanction the continuance of as
many as IS per cent Of the stations now
fighting for their existence.
In the re-allocation process. they can
survive by being clustered on five or six
wave lengths using powers ranging from
but 10 to 100 watts and sometimes oper-
ating only in daylight.
Another thing the small stations may
not like will be the allotment of fire.
quencies at the extreme low end of
the broadcast band for low power broad
casting. Many receiving sets cannot
tune in these waves, although manufac-
turers are now celebrating sets to take
in the whole broadcast range
But the acceptance Of these condi-
tions is believed to be the only prospect
for the stations. Most Of them never
have operated with more than $50 watts
and never havH had consistent listen
ing ranges of ore than a few miles.
1t is their service to purely local areas
which will permit them to survive.
This includes market reports for
farmers, community events like school
commandments and the like, church
services, lost persons and stolen auto
mobile reports.
''Pick Up" Big Programs.
Some of the small stations have been
extremely enterprising In the matter
of instituting remote controls for pick
ing up programs they cannot bring into
the studio
Some have occasionally put big time"
features on the air. though the testi-
mony has revealed that monograph
records have been the mainstay Of most
of them for the entertainment part
of their programs.
These small stations undoubtedly
will heterodyne each other on their
relatively few wave lengths. However.
If they are properly spaced geograph-
ically, they should at least, cover their
local constituencies quite clearly and
