Commenting on the amendment, Dr..
Barton, who also is president Of the
national conference of organizations
supporting the eighteenth amendment
and chairman of the commission of
social service of the Southern Baptist
convention, said: II do not know Of
any general demand among the dry
organizations and leaders for such an
amendment; doubt whether such an
amendment would be constitutional and
I fear that the introduction of the
amendment at the present time is I'M
timely and unfortunate"
Believes Convictions Impossible.
Dr. Barton said it was his opinion
that convictions under the proposed
amendment would be impossible to OBJ
tain.
"A fundamental principle and q spe-
cific provision of the Constitution of
the United States Is that no man can
be forced to testify when his testimony
would incriminate himself" he said.
This being true. If the seller and the
buyer should be made equally guilty, 1t
would be practical impossibility to get
evidence and to secure conviction.
