DRY UNIT TRANSFER.
. OPPOSITION CROWS
Decision to Postpone Such
Action Reveals Several
Interesting Facts.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Decision to postpone the transfer of
the prohibition unit from the Treasury
Department to the Department of
Justice is significant of number of
things which were not apparent when
President Hoover made his inaugural
speech. They may be enumerated as
follows:
First, opposition to the transfer is
growing. 1t will be opposed on tech
meal grounds entirely apart from the
wet and dry question, the argument
being made that one department should
not be both constable and prosecutor.
Second, to open up the special ses-
sion of Congress to debate on this
item of administration would mean a
general discussion of prohibition with
plenty o. opportunity for the vets to
build up sentiment against the Jones
law and other phases Of prohibition
enforcement. Mr.. Hoover would prefer
to let the administrative side stay as it
is until the commission can be ap-
pointed and begin to function.
Transfer Is Confused.
Third, the transfer has already gotten
tangled up with the question OF who
shall be in charge of it. Mrs Mabel
Walker Willebrandt is handling the
prosecution of the Governments cases
Her raids in New York City were not
popular. The administration is anxious
not to allow the prohibition contro-
versy to grow personal, but on the other
hand it is a fact that Mrs. Withdrawals
Likelihood of using the prohibition units
machinery for active local enforcement
S. not reliShed by some members OF
Congress who, under the circumstances
might be inclined to block action at the
special session.
On the whole, it may we'll be doubt
ed whether President Hoover will get
action on the transfer of bureaus for
sion in December would deal with the
matter in an appropriation bill, and
usually such changes take effect at the
beginning of a new fiscal year, which,
in the case of legislation enacted in the
December session, would mean July l.,
1890. BY that time some recommended
tons from the Law Enforcement Com
mission may be expected.
Risks of Defeat Too Great.
The decision to postpone takes on
added importance when it is revealed
that most of the dry leaders wanted
action at once and t,2at President
Hoover has more or less inclined to
their view. but the risks of defeat and
postponement at the special session were
too great for the Chief Executive to
take. Then there is also his determine
ton to limit the special session to farm
relief and tariff revision and keep out
the extraneous things. To make an
exception of prohibition would have
made the Presidents position untenable
with congressional leaders, many of
whom consented to the special session
idea only because of an understand
ing that only two subjects would be
taken up.
