DRY LAW RESEARCH
Graduate Students Investi-
cation of Prohibition for
Degrees Sought.
D, In. Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A group of distinguished educators
gathered today to determine how COL
lege graduate students may help to
solve the question of what is really
happening in the United States as a re-
suit of prohibition.
The nine university professors who
participated comprised. with one other
member, the Prohibition Advisory Re-
search Council" It's formation was an
noamced by Prohibition Director Wood
cock two weeks ago.
AS the members met in executive ses-
sion at the Prohibition Bureau the gen.
eral task before them wee - formulate
plans for research into s..sa operation of
the eighteenth Amendments in the fields
Of sociology and political economy"
Compile Thesis Subjects.
Specifically, however, they planned to
compile q list of subjects relating to
prohibition. into which graduate stu
dents could conduct research in seek
ing masters and doctors degrees.
Prohibition officials cloes to the meet
ing emphasized that council members
would conduct no research themselves,
that their work had no political signlfi-
canoe nor any connection with that of
the Wickersham Commission.
What was hoped for, it was said, was
that with standardized list of sub
tects before them students in different
parts Of the country would select such
themes as Has Prohibition Affected
Juvenile Drinking?" and thus give a
composite view of such a condition.
Careful investigation in hundred
localities" one official said. will give
q picture more nearly accurate than
that of any observer in any one To-
cality"
Plans for the session were indefinite.
No specific time was set for its con-
vening, nor for the meeting with At
torney General Mitchell

Those comprising the council are

Justices of Supreme Court
Weigh Free Conscience
and War Antipathy.
Professor and War Nurse
Draw Comment on Duty,

Philosophy such as seldom embellishes
decisions of the Supreme Court added
interest to the opposing opinions at
tending rejection by majority OF the
court yesterday of citizenship applica-
lions of two Canadians, Prof. Douglas
Clyde Macintosh of Yale University
and Marie A. Bland, nurse during the
World War. now Of New York.
Discussing world conflicts, Justice
Sutherland who rendered the majority
opinion, said
There are few finer or more exalted
sentiments than that which finds ex-
preston in opposition to war" he said.
Peace is a sweet and holy thing and
war is a hateful and abominable thing
to be avoided by any sacrifice or con-
cession that free people can make.
But thus far mankind has been I'M
able to devise any method Of indefinitely
prolonging the one or entirely abolish
ing the other; and. unfortunately,
there is nothing which seems to afford
positive ground for thinking that the
near future will witness Sae beginning
Of the ragn of perpetual peace for
which all good men and women every
wAere never cease to pray"
Other. excerpts from Justice Suther-
lands opinion and some quotations
from the dissenting opinion Of Chief
Justice Hughes follow:
I'VE are a Christian people, but also
we are a Nation with the duty to sur
vive-a Nation whose Constitution con-
templates war as we'll as peace-and sub
mission and obedience to tine law of the
land, as well these made for war as
those made for peace, are not incon-
siStent with the will of God"
at is not within the province OF the
court to make bargains with those who
seek naturaliZa ton. They must accept
the grant and take the oath in accord
ance with the terms fixed by the law
or forego the privilege of citizenship"
THE privilege of the native-born con-
scientious .obiector to avoid bearing
arms comes not from the Constitution,
but from the sct of Congress. No
other conclusion is compatible with the
well-nigh limitless extent Of the war
powers, which include. by necessary
implicit ton, the power in the last ex-
tremity to compel the armed service of
sny citizen in the land, without regard
to his objections or his views in respect
Of the justice or morality of the par
ticular war or war in general"
IF the attitude of this claimant be
held immaterial to the question of his
fitness fer admission to citizenship,
