prices at around the high level reached turing the war, and drink costs 2 to times as much before the war, thus discouraging its ex- tensive purchase.
 3. Education. Constant education of the public away from drinking and into other recreations by means of literature, lectures, etc, is prac- ticed.
 In the Carlisle area. the Car lisle experiment" started during the war. remained in effect. The state took over control Of liquor, buying not only all breveries, but all places where liquor is sold. Some breweries were closed and about half the li- censed premises shut down. Sale Of liquor in stores, groceries, etc, for consumption off the premises, was reduced about so per cent

 A law sponsored by Lady Astor prohibited the sale of intoxicating liquor to persons under IS, but per mitted -spirituous alcoholic drinks to be served with a meal to persons over Is.
 Official government figures esti. mated the consumption of absolute alcohol in Great Britain, taken ir all forms of alcoholic drinks. at 51,. 56o,000 gallons in 1927 and about 77,000,00O gallons in 1913, a de- crease of about one-third.

Naturally, in this connection cl., thinks of the national prohibition law. Withou. touching upon the contentious ground of how the Eighteenth Amendment and the legislation to carry it into effect were brought about, one thing is perfectly obvious, and that is. that from the enactment of the Volstead act down to the present time. rei- ance upon carrying out the purposes ct the amendment was placed upon the power Of the government to compel by imposition of penalties of fine and imprisonment the general observance of the statute law"
 This method, Wickersham said, reached its peak in the Jones law enacted in March. 1929, which in effect made every violation of the prohibition laTs, with the exception of illegal possession and nainten- ance of q nuisance, felony, he said.
 No EduC2t!C1 Effort
 NO process or eQLCdtiOn or dI- tempted education of the public into the value of prohibition 10 accom- plish the maximum of temperance i:t the community was attempted during all this period" Wickersham continued. The long course Of demonstration Of the evils of the use O. intoxicating liquor which had led to the adoption of the Eighteenth Amendment was abandoned.'
 Wickersham contra sted the use of fierce with the methods used in Eng land. He said testimony given be- fore the royal commission on licens- ing showed q progressive decrease ill drunkenness since the pre-war per iod, and ascribed 1t mainly to the general process of educating the public to the evils of excessive drinking and the advantages of other forms of amusement.
 All of this evidence" he said, furnishes very cogent suggestion of those charged with the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment in

Hoover Possibly Hoping to Gradually Educate Na- ton On Benefits of Tem- perance.

Washington. June 10.-UP)-A growing belief here that President Hoover is trying gradually to educate the country toward a new attitude with regard to prohibition appeared strengthened today by the Boston speech of Chairman Wickersham of the presidents law enforcement commission. The White House refus- ed to comment on the Wickersham speech,
 .Wickersham declared that since the arrival of federal prohibition. de- pendence upon educStion as to the evils of prohibition had been aban- doned, and an attempt 10 enforce ex- cessive penalties in the nature Of 'vengeful reprisals upon those who question the legislative wisdom" had been substituted
 Contrasts English System
 He taid this method reached its climax in the Jones law making a felony Of prohibition violations ex- cept possession and maintaining a nuisance. He said the long. process Of education against the evils of drink which led up to the 5th amendment had been abandoned, contrasting the progress toward tenn perance made in England under q system of persist ent education.
 Such an. utterance by the head Of the presidents commission which IS investigating prohibition and law enforcement generally was. received here as of greatest significance.
 President Hoover has continued his silence on the prohibition ques- tion, but the feeling in Washington Is that he is patiently preparing the way, hoping to bring about a change in the handling Of the prohibition issue whereby education will replace attempts to force temperance by legislation.
 Campaign Statements
 He declared in the presidential campaign that prohibition was "a great social and economic experi- lnent, noble in motive and tar-reach- ing in purpose" He said he was against repeal of the 18th amend n1ent
 He is understood here to feel pro- hibition has brought about economic gains. There is, however a feeling that he is not satisfied with the re- suits of enforcement. Many think he believes increased temperance will depend upon education of the public as to the evils of drink rather than attempts to enforce abstinence by statute
 Since MT. Hoover became presi- dent: However. he has kept q strict official silence on these points and while the law enforcement commis- sion has been investigating rrohibi- tion, the president has confined him. self to efforts to enforce existing laws.

the United States as 10 better meth ods of attaining the object of that amendment than those which, for the last decade, have been pursued D
 The commission chairman sug- gested that systematic instructions in law observance similar to pubic health campaigns would amply re- pay their cost to the nation.
 Attacks Prison system
 Wickersham' prepared address attacked the modern prison system as being a veritable school for crime
 Criminals, he said, are not q race apart from other men until q course of treatment in prisons like Auburn, Columhu San Quentin or Canon City has reduced them 10 that condition.
 Tn the beginning" he said, they were adventurous boys, but social neglect, broken homes, and the ab- sence of any steadying moral infll- cree transformed them into out laws"

Plays Prohibition Law

Boston, June g UP)-George W Wickersham, chairman of President Hoover's law enforcement commis- sion, became a central figure in the bitter wet-dry controversy today through his criticism Of America s prohibition system.
 Wickersham' attitude was reveal ed unexpectedly last night in a speech before 5000 social workers attending q national conference here It was the first open attack on the dry laws, as they are administered in this country today, by member of the Hoover commission,
 Although he did not espouse the
New Britain herald., 1930-06-10

The chairman of the law cInC.,-- nlent commission, in commenting on the workings of the dry laws, de- parted from his prepared speech on prisons and crime. He addressed delegates to the national conference Of social work at Boston Garden.
 The United States, he said, might profit by lessons learned in England and Wales, where, he claimed, ed ucation has brought about increased temperance. He declared that force had been used 70 compel observance of the dry laws since their adoption and that the educational methods previously maintained had been abandoned.
 Where the law is the expression -of the will Of mere legislative ma 1ority and does not reflect the gen. eral views of the community, the law making power frequently. if not generally. seeks to compel obedience by excessive penalties, although this method seldom accomplishes its ob- ject,' Wickersham said.
 Added Penalties "Vindictiye'
 Frequently, conscious that the new law will provoke widespread opposition and resentment, the leg islature fortifes it's mandates with excessive penalties for non-com- pliance. and when experience shows that the apprehension was we'll founded. supplements the original penalties by vindictive increases.
 The penalties are in the nature Of vengeful rcprisals upon those who question the legislative wisdom.

Observers Believe Wickersham
 Attitude Toward Prohibition Is '"' ln Agreement With President s

Meanwhile, the Wickersham com mission has sought new laws to sim plify the problem and Dr. F. Scott McBride, general uperintendent of the Anti Saloon league, recently told the senate lobby committee that his organization is preparing to spend large sums in new campaign of education against the evils of liquor much like the old style campaigns which promoted enough temperance sentiment to force through federal prohibition.
 Wickersham has made d series of declarations which led up to his lat est Boston speech.
 The fact that he continues to voice criticisms Of the present situation, each one going little further than the previous one. with the White House not disavowing him, leads po- Ntical Washington to believe Wicker sham is in harmony with his chief. F This belief is so strong that it was openly voiced before the senate Iob- by committee by officers of the Asso- citation Against the Prohibition Amendment, and the White House did not deny the assertions.

English Control Methods

 The present system of liquor con- trol in England, which was praised in Boston address by George w. Wickersham, had its inception dur ing the World war. when rigid con trol vas applied under the defense of the realm act.
 In 1921, the licensing act abolished the wartime control but made per manent some of its restrictions. At present. the following factors tend to check consum ption Of liquor:-
 ]. Restricted hodrs. Liquor may be sold only 9 hours out of the A in London and hours elsewhere. No liquor is sold anywhere before g a. m. or after Il ?. m. in London or 10 p, m. elsewhere. The open" hours within those periods vary ac- cording to the locality.
