uro oocomnlish this we adopt the
following platfrom: Hoo
eve declare that President r1oo-
ver's personal and social attitude To-
,vord law enforcement and law oD-
servance has been the greatest plo"
IN the liquor traffic since the auoP
tion of the Eighteenth Amendment
His stand and that of Mrs. Hoover is
a notable example which mas Deen
followed by men and women IN nany
walks Of life. a., ruos;
1--WE are grateful that the Presl-
dent has appointed a Natlonal Con-
mission on law observance anu d"
planning Committee for a Wnite
House Commission on Child Healtn
and Protection, for in these Mo wv
bodies We see great possibllltles Ior
constructive commentators
eve point with pride to the tnou,
sands of SIGNATURES to Youth's holi
Coli as the answer of youth ltselI
70 the slanderous assertions that the
voung neople have taken to drink
since prohibition. 49, 4bo
eve remind the public that tne
Jones-Stalker law, increasing tne
nanalties for violation of the Elgh-
teenth Amendment, was enacted by
the largest majority ever recorded
a prohibition measure; and this is
another answer of the American
people to the bootleggers and users
of beverage alcohol who are defylns
the Constitution.
eve reafirm our belief that the
movement of women against the
LIQUOR traffic was organized and mas
been continued to protect the Amer
lean home. We are thankful Tor new
women enrolled in the women
Christian Temperance Union and for
an awakened conscience among
women of the nation that their pal
lots must be used to elect ofhclals
who will be true to their Constitu-
tional oath, therefore, be it resolved.
That we call upon all the people
of Delaware to follow the example
of the President and Mrs. Hoover
in abstaining from the use of in
toxicating liquors as a beverage.
"That the prohibition of the beV-
erage traffic in intoxicating liquors
is included in the fundamental law
of our country, the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union will continue
to place its emphasis on law observ-
ance, and on making known its eff
feet upon child welfare, moral con-
duct and the economic status of the
nation.
"That we recommend a study of
the preservation of the non-alcoholic
fruit products to promote their more
general use and to help in the cam
paign to supplant alcoholic liquors
with non-alcoholic fruit juices.
eve declare that lawmakers
should not be law-breakers, and rec
ommend that in the election of next
year we work for the nomination and
election of officials who live dry and
vote dry.
eve condemn the efforts of the
Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment and it's subsidiaries for
the repeal of the State enforcement
codes, as an attempt to nullify that
pclL VI lnC
which provides for concurrent ac-
ton; we further condemn their eff
forts to organize women against pro-
hibition under the claim that their
aim is to reform prohibition, when
they have nothing to suggest except
a return of the legalized liquor traf-
fic.
eve condemn as unpatriotic and
vicious the attitude of a small sec
tion of the American Bar who have
deliberately organized to defend
without charge, violators of the
Jones-Stalker Law.
'We affirm that since prohibition
is out of politics, and in the Consti-
tuition; the press, public and bar
should recognize the bootlegger as a
criminal and should support the
Government in orderly efforts to en-
force this law the same as every
other law.
with President Hoover, we call
upon American citizens to rever-
ence all laws.
"The very essence of freedom is
obedience to law; liberty itself has
but one foundation and that is in
law.
For our citizens to patronize the
violation of a particular law on the
ground that they are opposed to it,
is destructive of the very basis of all
that protection of life, of homes and
property which they rightly claim
under other laws.
ITO assist in stamping out the
crime and outlawry of the illegal
liquor traffic, by refusing to partici-
pate in, and condemning all trans
actions with illegal liquor, just as
good citizens do regarding other
crime and outlawry. No greater SER
vice can be given by men and wo-
men who love their country than
that of example.
"It is our firm conviction that by
the cooperation of Federal and
State officials, the prohibition laws
can be enforced and that such CO.
operation n is absolutely essential tt
enforcement. We call upon our State
and Fe leral officials to so work to-
gether that our State may be prop
erly Joliced, that no part of it shal
be at the mercy of the illegal traffic
because the Woman's Christian
Ten perance Union was largely in
Strrlmental in having the Scientific
Temperance Instruction Law re
stored to the Legal Code of ou
State, at the last session of tn,
legislature, we hereby urge ever,
local Union to give more considera
ton and greater financial supper
