Prohibition Still a Political Issue

Prohibition. like the ghost Of Banquo, continues to
bob up at the political elbow Of the American citizen.
President Hoovers crime ommission is said to be
split on the subject Of prohibition. Its most ultra
dry member, Federal Judge William S. Kenyon Of
Iowa, rendered his resignation and then recanted.
a Washington correspondent says that the White
House CT Chairman Wickersham brought about the
recantation.
They say that the report OF the commission to
President Hoover and and through him TO congress
VIII probably be moist along the lines of thought Of
Chairman George W. Wickersram himself. They say
that Judge Kenyon may retire later or present a dis
sentsng opinion. They say Judge Kenyon's action in
asking retirement was ascribed in published reports
in two factors: First. his lack OF sympathy with the
forthcoming report Of the commission. and the action
Of the commission in withholding the report until
after the November election.
Paul b. Mallon forecasts that the report viii be
sent to President Hoover probably about Nov. 18th and
may be forwarded by him to congress in December.
Indeed Mallon predicts that the prohibition issue
win be met frankly II not sensaticnally and in a way
which may not meet the approval of those who have
been championing the dry act" Another forecast
hints that a modification proposal may be advanced
but no suggestion Of a repeal Of the 18th amendment
viii appear In the report.
Regardless Of what happens in the future to the
constitutional prohibition and the Dean law is one Of
the most drastic enactments ever invented BY the
lawmakers Of a commonwealth.
