NEW YORK, June 7.-Jubilation
reigned in the wet camp today. for John
D. Rockefeller, jr., lifelong dry, has
decided that the eighteenth amend
ment ought to be repealed.
The Oil magnatc's change Of opinion,
disclosed in a letter to DR.. Nicholas
Murray Butler. brought expressions Of
amazement and sharp disagreement
from supporters of the prohibition
amendment, which Rockefeller and his
father helped make the law of the land.
In expressing hope that beth major
parties would adopt repeal pianks and
remove the question from partisan
strife. Rockefeller made it plain he had
not altered his views on temperance
He said he had been a teetotaler all
his life. Neither my father nor his
father ever tasted drop of intoxicating
liquor, nor have l." he said.
He said he and his father had con-
tributed s350,000 to the Anti-Saloon
League to support prohibition Iegisla-

had come to believe that the amend
ment had not been supported by public
opinion sufficiently to hasten the dav
when the value to society of men with
minds and bodies free from the under
mining effects Of alcohol would be gen.
orally realized"
Rather, he declared, he found that
drinking generally has increased: the
speakeasy has replaced the saloon, not
only unit for unit, but probably two

OF Ia" breakers has been recruited and
nnanced on colossal scale; that many
Of our best citizens, pioued at what
they regarded as an infringement of
their private rights, have openly and
unabashed disregarded the eighteenth
amendment; that as an inevitable re-
suit respect for all law has been great

to an unprecedented degree"

OF Columbia University and prominent
Republican foe of the amendment, that
he was In complete sympathy" with a
resolution DR.. Butler will seek to have

to fight the saloon and urging that the
