DRY laws DOOM
ISSEEN IN GRAFT
Senator Wheeler Says Cor
ruption Must Cease If Pro.
hibition Is to Succeed.

Unless graft and corruption cease
the prohibition law Is doomed to fall
ure, Senator Burton K. Wheeler, Demo
crat, of Montana declared in an address
last night before the Citizens Service
Association at Calvary Baptist Church.
Nationwide graft and corruption in
the enforcement Of the prohibition
reason that the enforcement of prohi-
bition and other laws have broken down.
The trail Of corruption leads to Wash
ington. In Chicago we see the spectacle
OF gangs OF gunner fighting over the
loot that comes from violation Of law.
In Philadelphia we see organized gangs
despoiling the ballot box In the shadow
Of Independence Hall:
"You can never make me believe that
the law is being enforced when In any
large city a man can 60 into q saloon,
put his foot on the rail and get as much
liquor as he wants. This Is the reason
people are getting disguised with the
law. This Is the reason they are voting
against it. Unless this sort of thing
stops prohibition is doomed.
Hopeful, But Fearful.
"The way the law is being violated
in this city and this Nation does not
speak well for the law enforcement Of
flcerS. We have just voted to TRANSFER
prohibition enforcement to the Depart
ment Of Justice. hope It Is for the
better. but I am fearful"
Senator Wheeler was particularly BIT
ter IN his criticism Of the scandals of
the Harding administration. He added
that evidence that has not been chal-
lenged" revealed an appalling amount
of graft.
81 regret to say that the trail of
graft In that administration led to the
White House." Senator Wheeler said in
upbraiding former Secretary Of the In
terror Fall, former Attorney General
Daugherty and Jesse Smith, who lived
with Daugherty."
The meeting, held in the church
where President Harding worshiped,
was attended by more than 500 persons.
The prohibition law was upheld by
another speaker, DR.. Everett z. Ellison,
president Of the service association.
1910 and 1880 Compared.
"The foes of prohibition" DR.. Ellison
said, make much ado about the boot
Logging business, and none denies that
this Is serious problem, but they ignore
the fact that. according to the best sta
tisics available, there were more blind
pigs In America In 1910 than there are
speakeaSies In 1890. The hour has
struck when bootlegging must be hailed
before the bar OF justice among our
worst criminals and their names and
the names Of their customers must DO
inscribed on the few dark pages Of
American history under the name Of
Benedict Arnold.
Men who have the audacity TO
charge that the eighteenth amendment
was smuggled into our Constitution
make themselves ridiculous to all think
ing citizens Of the Republic. This
amendment is striking and stands alone
In its adoption by the almost unanimous
consent Of the people. Has 1t been q
than have been the Ten Commandments
and all laws enacted hereunder when
we take into account its revolutionary
nature and the brief span Of its exist
ence."

LIBERALS SUPPORT

Europe's Conservative and

BY PAUL SCOTT MowRER.

BY Radio to The Star and the Chicago
Daily News. Copyright, 1880.
PARIS, France, May 1.-the reac-
ton from all over Europe, as indicated
by press comment, to Aristide Brands
sensational plan for q European fedora
ton seems to indicate in q general way
that the Left Parties-that is to say, the
Socialists and Liberals-are favorable,
while the Right Parties-that Ii to say,
the Conservatives and Nationalist
skeptical or hostile.
This apparently Ii true in Germany,
Great Britain and Austria.
Britain Believed Opposed.
The British policy Is understood here
to be fundamentally. II discreetly,
opposed to Europe's getting together.
British tradition Is believed to favor
continental divisions, with Great Britain
holding the balance.
To this supposed policy the French
reply is, with Great Britain II possible,
without Great Britain II necessary, but
against Great Britain never"
It Is thought, too, that the countries

plan from O fear that 1t will tend to
stabilize the present frontiers. German
Nationalists thus charge France with
trying to use the Europe federation idea
to consecrate the French hegemony
over Europe.
The French reply IL that II the
federation is carried out, political from

It Is believed, In any case, that the

for economic and perhaps even political
