commissions could have expected
otherwise. This one heard the voice
of the man who appointed it and
followed his way and will. 1t was
ever So.
Five members were for a bone dry
law. Four urged revision of the 18th
amendment so that Congress could
control the liquor traffic. And two
-Lemann of Louisiana and Newton
D. Baker, former Secretary of War
stood for straight out repeal.
Right, as she usually does, remains
in the middle of the road. The five
members who stand for bone dry en-
forcement don't know what the boot
leg racket is today. They are stick
ing their heads in the sand, believ-
ing that all is well thereby. The
18th amendment, as it is today, is
farce and travesty. Its enforce
ment must, of course, be the same.
On the other hand, the two men,
bers who stood for repeal are Wis
ionary in their hopes. They them
selves, do not see how repeal can be
effected. Their votes are but a pro-
test against system which they
hate. 1t cannot have result so long
as SO of 4S states must ratify the
change.
But the four members who urge
revision of the amendment are
sound. They would leave the liquor
traffic to Congress. In other words
they are for wines and beer with
out saying so. In fact, they are for
liquors with regulations strict enough
to make it possible for civilized peo-
pie not to make fools of themselves.
Congress ia the power that should
have full and final say. Because
Congress can readily express the will
of the people. Every two years the
entire lower house of congress is
elected. A tidal wave of public
opinion is certain to find definite
expression. at the next Legislative
session. The will of the people will
have chance to be heard. 1t GER
tainly cannot when the entire thing
is vested in the constitution.
Indeed, that is why the Constitu-
ton is as it is. So as to protect
the people in their basic rights
against sudden wave of public SEN
timent. But where the people have
given up general liberty. previ-
ously enjoyed by all who so wished,
there should be more flexible way
of the people taking back their lib
erty if they wish. Control by Con-
gress is that way. And the four
minority members of the Hoover
Commission are to be congratulated
for having more good sense than the
others combined.
