 Tn other states, lHcjudng those with the greatest populations. the system works badly because the peo- pie and their officials do not CO., operate nIt1 the federal agents. and the federal agents alone are not able 10 exercise effective control. In these states there exists resentment against the attempt to impose q control which the prevailing con- science Of the people does not ac- cept.

 sums ID Views
 Morrow summed up his VIEWS in tto concise statements:
 First. I believe that the way out of the present difficulty is 70 recog- njze clearly The fundamental differ ence between the nature Of the fed eral government and the state gov ernment I believe this involves a repeal of the 18th amendment and the substitution therefor Of an amendment which win restore to the states the power 10 determine their policy toward the tlquor traf- fc, and vest in the federal govern ment power 10 gre all possible pro- lection and assistance 10 hose etatez hat deslra complete prohibition
