ton that has been submitted to
the bench since the constitu'
tionality Of the Volstead Act was
decided.
Trouble Ahead
A victory for the Government
would put in the felon class every
citizen who buys liquor, whether
1t be a drink or a barrel. He
would be liable to the same pun
ishment that is now meted out
to the bootlegger; in the eyes OF
the law, in fact, II the Supreme
Court holds with the Department
of Justice, the buyers OF liquor
becomes a bootlegger..
Thus, overnight almost, the
court may multiply a thousand
fold the ''felon class" in the
country. While publicly silent,
the authorities privately are
somewhat aghast at the prospect.
Enforcement, they say, Is difficult
enough now, when it is directed
only at the commercial dispenser
Of liquor. The prospect OF try
ing to enforce it against the con-
sumer as well makes them shake
their heads.
Wants Decision
Attorney General Mitchell,
however, is intent upon getting a
decision on the point. The case
was before the court today in its
squareSt aspect, and there ap-
pears no avenue by which ths
court can avoid a direct yeS-or-no
answer.
AS usual, the vets and drys
were divided today as to what the
ultimate effect will be if the
Government wins the decision.
Senator Sheppard CD Of
Texas, author Of the Eighteenth
Amendment, and some Of his dry
supporters, believe the cause Of
enforcement will be immeasurably
advanced if the Government wins.
If the court decides against the
Government, Senator Sheppard
has ready q bill which will specifi-
cally make the buyer Of liquor
guilty Of a felony.
See Death Blow"
The vets assert that to make
the buyer Of liquor guilty with the
seller will prove prohibitions
death blow" They contend that
the law cannot be enforced as IL
now is. and that to extend it to
cover thousands, maybe millions,
Of otherwise law-abiding citizens
would create such a general de-
moralization of the whole pro
hibition structure that it would
topple Of its own weight.
Some of the wet Spokesmen
privately declared today they
would just as soon see the Gov
ernment win, although they op-
pose in principle any extension of
the prohibitory laws. They con-
slider that the unenforceability Of
the law would then be shown with
such clarity that in the end it
would help their cause.
