WASHINGTON, Dec. 2o.-Chair- man George Wickersham of the Hoover law enforcement commission, in public statement today, said:
 "Fro mthe outcome of the Volstead act reliance was placed upon the power of the government to compel by imposition of penalties the gen. eral observance of the law. No pro- gram for education of the public into the value of prohibition was attempt ed. I believe that in law enforcement the observance of the law can be brought about by education and per- suasion rather than by force and harsh penalties-not force, but req son. I believe the present problem of enforcement is largely matter If education regarding law observance"
