United Press STAFF Correspondent
(CopyrigIit. 1881. by United Press


WASHINGTON, Feb. Two
years as commissioner of public
safety in Philadelphia gave Major
General Smedley Butler an oppor-
tunity to see the seamy side Of
prohibition.
He saw his old friend, Colonel
Alexander Williams, incur court
martial because Of liquor, and soon
thereafter end brilliant career by
running his automobile into San
Francisco bay. What does he think
of prohibition?'
He made a speech at Oakland,
Cal, in 1927, and mentioned the
Silly Volstead law" Anti-prohi-
bitioniSts began to cheer. But
Butler telegraphed in reply to an
inquiry from then Representative
William D. Upshaw Dem, Ga),
a terse summary of what he had
said:
mo halfway upflolding of ma
tional dignity, as in case of silly
Volstead act, which has been great
est piece of class legislation ever
enacted in this country; allows rich
to have liquor when the poor can
not get it. Had thought law writ
ten for everybody, but while a
Philadelphia policeman I discovered
my mistake.
In Favor of Prohibition
az am enphatically in favor of
prohibition and have not said or
even inti1nated anything to the con-
trary; but do consider the Volstead
act and all other toothlesS enforce
ment laws silly in the extreme.
Law to be OBJ ed must be re-
spected; to be respected the hand
of the law NUT be feared, and the
hand of the law will be feared only
when mandatory, adequate and Sc
we're penalties attach to violations. :"
Josephus Daniels Of Raleigh, N.
c., prominent dry Democrat, who
as secretary of the navy abolished
the wine ration in the service, once
urged that Butler be placed in
charge of federal prohibition en-
forcemellt.
Senator r. B. Howell (Rep., Neb)
once proposed that Butler undertake
to dry up Washington, which How
ell has described as "bootleggers'
paradise"
Practice Dry Beliefs
Governor Clifford Pinchot of
Pennsylvania, a dry leader, sup
ported Butler actively throughout
his Philadelphia police experience
and sought to have his leave ex-
tended that he might go on.
Butler describes himself as a
practicing prohibitionist.
II am a prohibitionist, believe in
it, practice it, but will not proselyte
for the cause" he said after he re-
turned to the marines. at am not
a prohibition propaganda nor
professional reformer, uplifter nor
purist.
I'm my time have been a drink
ing man-not a booze hound, but
moderate drinker who really could
take it or leave it alone My work
in Philadelphia made me a prohibi-
zionist"
When Butler returned a second
time to command Quantico, the as
signment from which he has just
been suspended pending court
martial, he undertook to cry up the
village adjoining the post. He did
it by forbidding marines to enter the
town until all the bootleggers were
driven out.
Barber shops, drug stores, movies
and shops in the village were de-
serted and business men became so
aroused that the village officials
were compelled to undertake a
series Of raids and clean up the
settlement.
