Courts ShOw the Corruption

GAS to corruption it is suf-
ficient to refer to the reported
decisions of the courts during
the past decade in all parts of
the country, which reveals a sue
CesSiOn of prosecutions for con-
SpiracieS, sometimes involving
the police, prosecuting and ad-
illustrative organizations of
whole communities; to the
fIagrant corruption disclosed in
connection with diversions of
industrial alcohol and unlawful
production of beer; to the rec
ord Of Federal prohibition ad-
miniStratiOn as to which cases
Of corruption have been con-
tinuOuS and corruption has ap-
peared in services which in the
past had been above suspicion;
to the records of State police
organizations; to the revelations
as to police corruption in every
type of municipality, large and
small, throughout the decade;
to the conditions as to prOsecu-
tiOn revealed in surveys of
criminal justice in many parts
of the land; to the evidence of
connection between corrupt local
politics and gangs and the or
ganiZed unlawful liquor traffic,
and of systematic collection of
tribute from that traffic for cor
rupt political purposes.
Field Larger Now
"There have been other eras
of corruption. Indeed, such
eras are likely to follow wars.
Also there was much corruption
in connection with the regula-
tiOn of the liquor traffic be-
fore prohibition. But the present
regime of corruption in cOnnec-
tiOn with the liquor traffic is
operating in a new and larger
field and is more extensive.
"TOO often during the early
years of prohibition were ar
ECSbS AAaUC anu pTOSCCukAOuS
instituted without sufficient
evidence to justify them. In
very many instances, unwar-
ranted searches and seizures
were made, which resulted in
the refusal by commissioners
to issue warrants of arrest, or
in the dismissal of the prOsecu-
tiOn by the courts.
TN many instances, the char
acter and appearance Of the
prohibition agents were such
that the United States attOr-
ney had no confidence in the
case and juries paid little at
tentiOn to the witnesses. Thus
some of the most important
causes were lost to the Gov
ernment.

eliminating the saloon must be
weighed the demOralizing ef-
feet of the regime of more or
less protected speakeasies upon
regard for law and upon law
and order generally. Unless
the number of speakeasies can
be substantially and perma-
nently diminished, enforcement
can not be held satisfactory.
Drinking Growth Seen
mot the least demOralizing
feature of enforcement of ma
tiOnaI prohibition is the develop
ment of open or hardly dis
guised drinking winked at by
those in charge in respectable
places where respectable people
gather. People of wealth, pro-
fessiOnal and business men
public officials and tourists are
drinking in hotels, cafes and
tourist camps under circuln-
stances where at least knOwI-
edge on the part of those in
charge that the liquor comes in
unlawfully Is an ineScapable in
ference"
Speaking of the evidence Of vio-
lation through the prices charged
for various grades of liquor, the re-
port declares:
THE conclusion is that en-
fOrcement is not reaching the
sources OlI production and dis
tributiOn SO as materially to af-
feet the supply"
Cities Most Difficult
On the matter of State cooper
alton and pointing out that some
States adopted enforcement laws
of their own, the report declares
that lin many of the first class of
States the laws were quite gener-
ally enforced before national pro-
hibition. In those States fair CO.
operation with the Federal prohi-
bition forces at first was given,
but there has been in recent years
a growing tendency, even in States
with prohibition laws, to let the
Federal Government carry the
burden of enforcement"
After discussing conditions in
various classes of States, and
lamenting that complete figures
are not available as to State ac-
tivity, the report states:
at is true that the chief
centers of non enforcement or
ineffective enforcement are the
cities. But since 1920 the
United States has been pre-
pOnderantly urban. A failure
The Washington times., 1931-01-20
Big Violators Dodge Capture

"It must be obvious that in
creased personnel and equip
ment are demanded if the en-.
fOrcement agencies are to cope
with this situation, and an in
crease in the corps of special
agents whose function it is to
work up the evidence to ex-
pose such cOnSpiracieS, affords
the most hopeful means of sub
StantiaI accomplishment in the
enforcement field. Destruction
of alley brewerieS and paddock
ing of beer flats and speak
eaSieS have little effect. They
give an appearance of enforce
ment without the reality.
"SpeakeaSieS, even where
they approximate the. Old-time
saloon, have few of the attrac-
tiOnS which were used to bring
customers to those drinking
places and induce them to stay
there and spend their money.
Probably a much greater num-
ber of those who patrOniZe
them can afford to do so than
was true in case of the saloon.
Thus the closing Of the saloon
has been a gain even if speak
easieS abound. But the saloon

Opposition to Central Force

Summing up on this phase thu
commission says, in part:
From either standpoint,
there are serious objections to
this type Of plan. 1t gives up
the policy of concurrent jurjs-
dictiOn expressly laid down in
the Eighteenth Amendment and
adopts a fundamentally diff
ferent system. This is legally
possible. But if the amend
ment is to be modified, we
think that should be done di-
rectly and avOwedIy rather
than by indirectiOn.
Secondly, it gives up effect
the policy of the Eighteenth
Amendment in whole or in part
as to all States which decline
to act or are Indifferent. If
this is to be done, we think it
ought to be. done directly un-
der warrant of the Constitution
and not by way Of notification
thereof.
Admits DRAWBACKS
Thirdly, it gives up the an
nOunced policy of the national
prohibition act as to any State
which chooses to do nothing, or
little or nothing, with respect
to that part of the program
Of the Eighteenth Amendment
abdicated by the Federal Gov
ernment. If it is sought to
guard this abdicatiOn by re-
tanning Federal jurisdiction to
the extent of Federal repres-
sion of open saloons, it must
be observed that such saloons
are not within the natural or
traditional field of Federal &C
ton, Yet the circumstances
that it is felt necessary to
guard against the return of
saloons in States where the
power given up by Federal Gov
ernment remains unexerciSed,
shows the recognized need Of a
Federal power beyond what
existed before the amendment"

the big operators or head men in

highly centralized Federal en-
fOrcement of prohibition, reach
ing into the details of viola
tion and seizures in every part
of the land, this might be more
effective. But Americans have
a strong and justified tradi-
tiOnaI antipathy to Over-cen-
tralization.
"Any considerable Federal
policing Is wholly at variance
with the general spirit of our
Constitution. Indeed, the Con-
stitutiOn permits it only as an
incident of certain granted
powers. Moreover, the pOIiti-
cal possibilities of such
force, reaching into every com
munity, are disquieting."
Force "TO Small"
The report comedies the cor
rectness of substantial agreement
among all witnesses appearing
that the Federal prohibition force
is much too small" for the work
in hand, with estimated varying
as to the number needed. After
referring to pending legislation to
give Prohibition Administrator
Woodcock 500 additional agents
and claims that no such force is
required. the report says:
Between these extremes our
conclusion is that there should
be 60 per cent more agents
and so per cent more store
eeper-gaugers, that the num-
Der Of prohibition investigators
and special agents should be
doubled, that there should be
a prOpOrtiOnate increase in the
Customs Bureau, and in the
equipment of all enforcement
organizations and that the num-
ber of assistant district attOr-
neyS should be increased"
Coordination Needed
Reciting that there are now
approximately 25 statutes bear
ing on enforcement of prohibi
ton, many of them antedatine
the Eighteenth Amendment, the
commission says it has had teS
timony that they are much ir

while listing E few Of the exist

these acts have been super

a way that it is difficult at
times to make out what is

tails.

'1t is generally admitted and
indeed has been demonstrated"
says the report, "that State Co
operation is necessary to effec-
tive enforcement. In States
which decline to cooperate and
in those which give but a per-
functOry or lukewarm cO-Opera-
tiOn, not only does local Fed
eraI enforcement fail, but those
localities become serious points
for injecting others. AS things
are at present, there is virtual

mitted by the Government and
demonstrated by experience
that it is substantially i'm
practicable for the Federal Gov
ernment alone to enforce the
declared policy Of the national
prohibition act effectively as to

serious Implications"
Education Is Stressed
Corruption can be eliminated,
the commission believes, by re.
moving the big profits from the
liquor business and by the Selec'
ton of a higher type Of per
sonneI in the department.
"As to public opinion" says
the report, "the way toward i'm
prOvement is chiefly through
education. Unhappily since the
national prohibition act the
whole emphasis has been put
upon coercion rather than upon
education"
Pleads for reason"
At the outset of paragraph
four the Wickersham Commission
pleads that it is a "truiSm" that
no laws are absolutely observed
or enforced and asks what should
be a reasonably practical en-
forcement" of the national pro
hibition act. 1t then engages
again in a brief discussion of the
difference between enforcement
of a statute such as the prohibi
ton law and the lax or ineffec
tive enforcement of other Fed
eral laws, including the customs
chiefly affecting revenue. 1t Is
observed that "the everyday work
of police belongs to the States
The report adds:
But If the national prOhibi-
tiOn act is not enforced the col
lateral bad effects extend to
every side of administration,
police, and law and order. In
view of the policy announced
in section three of that act any
large volume of intoxicating
liquor continually in circulation
shows serious falling short of
the goal, and is highly prejudi-
ciaI to respect for law.
"The enforcement to be aimed
at must be one operating as an
effectual deterrent upon manu-
