BUTLER COMMENDS
SMITH ON SPEECH
Wet Republican Calls 1t a
StateSmanIike UtteranCe,
if Partisan.

NEW YORK. August % R).-Dr.
Nicholas Murray Butler, who few days
ago wrote a letter to the New YORK
Times criticiZing the stand Of Herbert
Hoover on prohibition and national de-
Tense, made the following statement TO
the Ierald-Tribune on Gov. Smiths
speech Of acceptance.
The address of acceptance Of Gov.
Smith is a statcsmanlike document, well
conceived, we'll phrased and admirably
expressed 1t shows the governor at
his bcst-and We New York Republic
ans know by long experience how good
that is. His setting forth Of the case
of the Democratic party in this cam
paign is able and on high plane. This
can only be met by like or better argu-
ments on a similarly high plane.
Viewpoint Partisan"
"Of course the governors viewpoint
is a strictly partisan one. On all three
paramount subjects of agriculture, for
eign policy with respect to information
al peace, and prohibition. the governor
speaks with no uncertain sound. No
one can mistake what he means Or
what he will aim tC do if elected. His
treatment of prohibition is frank, con-
structive and forward-facing. If Gov.
Smith can bring the Democratic party
TO the support of the position which he
takes, an enormous service will thereby
be rendered to the Nation. 1t remains
for those of us Republicans OF the old
| fashioned sort who are profoundly in
tereSted in fundamental political prin-
cIples to see whether we can get to
something with the Republican party.
The proposed modification of the
Volstead act is fully within the present
powers OF Congress and would perhaps
relieve to some slight extent the diff
cuities of the present situation II
would not. however, reach the root of
the matter. which is the eighteenth
amendment itself.
Urges Absolute Repeal
For reasons OF moral and political
principle which l have frequently given
and which have never been answered
| urge and shall continue to urge abso-
lutte repeal of that, amendment. Gov
Smith now proposes an ingenious and
practicable plan by amending the
eighteenth amendment. of returning to
those States whose people desire it the
authority TO control the liquor traffic
within their several borders after the
fashion which has proven so success
ful in Quebec and other Canadian
provinces.
The objection to the eighteenth
amendment itself would not be met en-.
tirely by this method OF dealing with
the subject That amendment would
remain to plague the Constitution with
false doctrine for years TO come.
1t Will be most interesting to observe
the reaction of public opinion TO Gov
Smiths very definite and reasonable
recommendation.
