bition issue because Of Its proposed
peril"
His home rule plan-which would
call for retention Of the 18th amend
ment but adoption Of another con-
stitutional change giving states con-
troll of liquors., to his mind, prob
ably the best solution, he said. but
added: Perhaps some Of you may
have a better solution"
1T is important that " friends
In the dry states clearly understand"
he wrote, that home rule could not
become effective until "a majority Of
people In SO out of the - states vote
in favor of such amendment"
ANY man or woman, honest and
sincere in the belief that q majority
of the people in the United States are
dry, IAN have little fear that the
country will 60 wet under this reso-
luton, because it requires not merely
a majority Of our people to change the
18th amendment but q majority Of
the people in three-fourths Of the
states" Raskob said.
"And, furthermore, II the unex-
pected should happen and the new
amendment be actually adopted
through q vote Of the majority Of the
people in SO states the 18th amend
ment would continue to be the law in
every state until the people Of .
particular state should desire by
popular vote to take over their own
liquor control problems"
His other recommendations pre-
sented for consideration Of the ma
tional committeeman were to:
take the government out Of blS-
ness and relieve trade from unneceS-
sary and unreasonable governmental
restriction"
"Clearly define our tariff policies"
DEGREES Price. Fixing
'"Decry policy Of governmental
price fixing schemes and attempts to
maintain prices arttficially."
Develop some plan Of cooperation
between our national committee and
the duly elected Democratic meme
beys Of the senate and house Of rep
IeSeutAttveS."
Realize tho absolute necessity Of
strong leadership"
"Develop. some scheme Of farm re-
lief which viii rebound to the bene-
tit OF our whole country"
Develop old-age and unemploy.
ment insurance based on cooperative
effort between capital and labor"
Advance the movement for 4 five
day week without diminutiou Of
weekly wage.s
Correct m injustice IN the Sher-
man law" 90 beneficial mergers may
be consummated.

troll over public utilities. IS
