It was reported to be Ihore than

Prohibition and BoISheViSm
Cannot Endure, Historian
Asserts in San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO, April II
(U.SJ-"Prohibition can never
be adequately enforced in the
United States because it opposes
human instinct" DR.. Guglielmc
Ferrero. one of the worlds fore
most historians, declared yester
day upon his arrival in San Fran
cisco on a lecture tour. He said;
"Any law as drastic in its
provisions as the Eighteenth
Amendment seems in my Opin-
ion to be unenfOrceable because
those who advocate it overlook
human psychology and human
instinct. The desire to indulge
in alcoholic beverages has al
ways existed in normal healthy
persons, and as long as this
desire exists, the problem of
enforcement will exist.
Finds Law Interesting
"T do not see any reason why
q similar law relating to the
narcotic traffic should not be
enforced, as it is in fact being
enforced by the majority of the
people. Liquor creates an ex-
hiIarating effect on the human
system, narcotics a depressing
effect. This audaciOuS prohibit
ton problem interests me ex.
ceedingly. 1t is without prece-
dent and although, in my Opin-
ion, it is doomed to failure, 1t
is still extremely interesting.
81 look at the cOmmuniStic
experiment in Russia in almost
the same light. Although that
experiment covers wider field
of human activity, and is there
fore a great deal more radical,
it also. in my opinion, is doomed
to failure in its present state"
DR.. Ferrero declared that tht
present world depression is duC
to artificial markets created dur
ing the world war.
Talks About Spain
He said that perhaps" shorter
hours, higher wages and more
leisure for the masses might bt
q solution"
On the overthrow of the mo
narchy in Spain, he declared:
"It is another episode in the
sunset of mOnarchies. Spain
has lived since the war under
an intermediate regime, a king
only on the throne, a dictator
in power. do not believe that
the establishing of a republic
in Spain will prove difficult,
although it may take 10, Is
or 20 years. Spain has so
much precedent that there can
be no comparison between the
present and the time of the
French Revolution. 1 think
that the country has the lead
