PROPAGANDA
Of 'WETS'

Chiefly aimed sat counteracting
so-called wet" propaganda charg-
ing failure Of the dry laws, the
Prohibition Bureau soon viii
launch an educational campaign
To- acquaint the public with the
"real facts" it was learned today.
Prohibition Commissioner j. NJ.
Doran declared he did "not care
how much prohibition was argued
or discussed" but desired to have
circulated the exact facts, and to
have all misinforlnation and mis-
understandings corrected.

The educational campaign will
be OF q dignifieds character carried
On through the issuance Of pamph-
lets and other circulars which
are TO be approved by high Treas
nry officials before being made
public. They will not be In the
nature Of arguments for the law
but rather to set forth the vari-
Gus facts pertaining to enforce
nerit.
For two years Congress has
furnished an appropriation Of $50.
goo annually to acquaint the pub
nc with facts pertaining to pro
hibition,
Some months ago it was planned
TO carry on q thorough up.todate
dry advertising campaign over
the radio. through motion pic
lures. with highly colored posters
and to carry dry education into
the public schools.
The idea became. circulated,
however, that the Government
was going to put prohibition
courses in schools and colleges
and such a furore was created
that President Hoover stepped in
and put a stop to the plan.
Pamphlets Scrapped
A number Of pamphlets pub.
liShed relative to the prohibition
issue, containing some high
sounding slogans for classroom
use and otherwise, were consigned
to obScurity and the educational
campaign" was allowed to lie
dormant. Very little Of the first
years appropriation was used.
Since that time, DR.. Doran has
been working on plans for
more satisfactory educational
drive. The scheme virtually has
been arranged and the ''real
facts" about prohibition--some-
thing that Congress, the Presi
dents Law Enforcement Commits
sion, the vets and drys, every
body else have been trying to get
for sometime past-at last will be
available.
