 Fred c. Clark. commander of a million and a quarter Crusaders. .sWe're for repeal,,' he continues. ..simply because outright repeal Is the quickest way to get to q real solution of the problem.
 "But repeal is no solution in Itself, any more than national prohibition was q solution. Modi- fication of the volstead act is no solution. Suppose congress de- clares that ( per cent beer is non- intoxicating in fact. It will be very hard to regulate the sale of a beverage that congress has de- fclared misunderstanding. Would a place just like saloon which complications can follow that. The thing is to repeal the 18th arnendment. and then, having cleared the ground, to build q lnew and better structure that will really. solve the problem" The Crusaders advance no iron clad formula for this solution. In fact. Clark doubts that any sin gIe formula will be found that will yield the right answer in rural Kansas and Maine and ur- ban New York and Chicago.
 Saloon Is Out
 Instead, he offers set of prin- | alN. "A AAtofYAI
 aver should be built. Remove inc profit from the distributing end of the liquor business. The federal government must protect such states as want to remain dry. 1 The saloon must not be allowed to return a 8a

 was suppressed by national prohi- bition. The saloon as drinking place has only been driven un- derground, and new and more sinister ''liquor traffic" has re- placed the old. ''Genuine temper ance is the real goal.
 Those general objectives. you will note, are much the same as those of the w. c. T. U. a genera tion ago. Clark gets a grim Amusement over the similarity,
 but reiterates that only repeal
 and new deal on prohibition will
 achieve them.
 This vagueness as to means of
 achieving the, objectives Is one of the repealist weaknesses. Various wet organizations have never
 united on a single answer, though united on repeal.
 But 1t would be strange if we
 could not devise a solution. The

Taxation May Be Answer

Others feel that, since the power to tax is the power to destroy. con- gress can effectively control the liquor question entirely by taxa ton.
 The point of protecting dry states is bound to be critical one. The Web-Kenyon law of 1913 put federal authority back of stopping shipment of liquor in- to dry states. It halted a brisk mail-order business of original packages of liquor delivered to individual customers in dry states.
 The drys now feel that if the 18th amendment is repealed congress could repeal the Webb Kenyon law at any time.
 Many states would be reluctant to reassume a burden deposited at congress doorstep 13 years ago. Most of them have taken the stand, when the national gov- ernment took a hand in the job, of "all right, you do it all!" For in 1880, of the. AS states, 39 did not appropriate dime for pro- hibition enforcement. Many were dry states before national prohi- bition.

president, also proposed a plan, starting with outright repeal of the 18th amendment.
 Every state would then regain the right to exercise it's police power to deal with the liquor frafflc within It's boundaries as 1t sees it," he pointed out. He rec commended that states should de- wise a state selling plan. no iiQuors to be drunk on the prem every sale. Butler believes that congress by it's authority over in- terstate commerce already has all necessary power to protect dry states from shipments of liquor.
 Mrs John S. Sheppard of the WOmen's Organization for Ma tional Prohibition Reform, pro- posed a state commission to have general power over manufacture, import and sale of all liquors. Authorized distilleries and brew cries could sell only to the com mission at a fixed profit. Local boards would recommend for li- censes all places which could serve liquors except shops run di- rectly under their own supervi- zion to handle bottled goods for ''off the premises" con- sumption. The profit to hotels and clubs would be limited by selling them only a stipulated amount of liquor at wholesale prices. Any over tha twould have to be bought from the commis- sion at retail prices. The com mission would also license estab- lishment of refreshment parlori where liquors, food and non-alco. holic drinks would be sold, the liquors, however, to be sold a, prices permitting no profit.

The state agency would then distribute 1t to it's wet communities. Local option would decide which com munities would receive shipments from the state agency. Local branches of the state organization would issue permit books to local drinkers.

Licensing Systems

The Swedish solution is to n- cense the consumer. and sec that all the profits of the industry af- ter expenses, dividends and re- serves, go to the state. Denmark mark and Norway sfrdluetaoin- and Norway have variations of this--a system of private dis tribution to licensed drinkers with. the profits to producers and dealers strictly limited. Beer is not considered a problem in these countries at all.
 Canada, Finland. and Switzer- land have the government monop- oily system. Tn no Canadian prov incc is there private profit from the sale of liquor.

Will It Be Attorney Wm E. Thonls of This City or Former Senator Win C. Fox of New LOnd0n?- It Will Be One Mighty Struggle When Clans Gather
THE TANGLE WILL
 COME VERY EARL Y

That ex-Mayor William F. Thoms of this city will be set forth at the coming democratic state convention in Hartford as the chairman of the session in opposi- ton to ex-Senator William c. Fox of New London, tho choice of the Roosevelt-ruled committee on ar- rangements, appeared more certain, to-day. Yesterday ex-Mayor Thoms was mentioned for the post and he stated that he would not seek the chairmanship but would accede to the wishes of the Smith for Presi- dent chieftains in Connecticut. Last night the Smith packers met in New Haven and while no def mite action was taken on the pro- posed fight 1t is understood they are ready to test their strength against that of the Roosevelt cam paigners at the outset of the state convention by offering the name of ex-Mayor Thoms.
 A total of 128 democratic SUD- porters of ex-Governor Smith met in New Haven last night, among them being Mayor Frank Hayes, Controller Daniel J. Leary, ex- Mayor Thoms and Town Chairman John II. Crary of this city.
 Former National Committeeman Thomas J. Spellacy of Hartford was present and was authorized to appoint . committee to confer with State Chairman David Wilson of Hartford and Roosevelt leaders in Connecticut concerning the pro cedure of the convention.
 Reports from the various sena. tosial and Congressional districts wore made at the Smith gathering last night and all indications point to a sweeping Smith victory at the convention in Hartford on the 18th and 17th of this month.
