WICKERSHAM REPORT

The long expected report of
the Wickersham Commission,
appointed by President Hoover
to study and present findings
on the Prohibition Amend
ment, was submitted to the
President on Tuesday of this
week.
The report of the Commits
sion is a lengthy one, and de-
spite the predictions of the
vets that it would favor re-
peal, contains little of comfort
for them. as the Commission is
opposed to repeal of the Eigh-
teenth Amendment. or the
restoration in any manner of
the legalized saloon.
1t is opposed to the proposal
to modify the National Prohi-
bition Act so as to permit man
ufacture and sale of light wines
or beer.
In the opinion of the Com
mission the cooperation of he
States is an essential element
in the enforcement of the
Amendment, and the support of
public opinion in the several
States is necessary in order to
insure such cooperation.
The Commission is not con-
WINGED that prohibition under
the Eighteenth Amendment is
unenforceable, and believes
that a further trial should be
made, with the help of the rec
commended improvements.
