the State Immediately on arrival there
in, both before and after delivery to the
consignee, whether in the original pack
age OF shipment or otherwise.
Section 2. The Congress ana the
several States shall have power to en-
force this article by appropriate legis-
lation."
This amendment in substance writes
the Webb-Kenyon act into the Con-
stitution.
The Democratic platform precludes
the possibility Of such an amendment
being submitted for ratification by in
sistfng on absolute repeal. I consider
this a distinct weakness in their plat
form.
Looms as Obstacle.
There is in both platforms one pro-
vision which. If adopted by Congress,
may prove to be a serious obstacle in
the way of an early and definite solu-
tion of the prohibition question, and
that is the provision that the amend
mafs m and tna the repeal 'f n the Of
the Democratic platform shall be rati-
fed BY conventions In the States rather
than by the State Legislatures.
What are these proposed conventions?
How are they created? How are the
delegates to them to be elected? doubt
If many proponents Of this method
of ratification of amendments to the
Constitution have given serious con-
sideration to these questions.
Since the adoption of the Constitu-
ton 10 amendments to it have been
ratified by sufficient number OF
the States to become a part thereof.
and in every instance the method OF
Evening star., 1932-07-25

ratification proposed by Congress has
been by State Legislatures and not by
conventions. Therefore, we have no
precedent to indicate the nature OF
these conventions or any judicial IN
depreciation of the words by conven-
ton" as used In article v.
In the absence of any expressed in
terpretation we are obliged to look else
where to discover the intent OF the
members of the Federal convention In
using this language. Article VII Of the
Constitution. which prescribes the
method of ratification, reads as fol-
lows:
Article Naturalization.
"The ratification Of the conventions
of nine States shall be sufficient for the
establishment of this Constitution be-
tween the States ratifying the same"
We believe there can be but lit
tie doubt that they had in mind
this type Of convention in drafting ar
ticle v. In order to determine the ma
tllre of the conventions which ratified
the Constitution an examination has
been made of the statutes of nine OF the
original IS States, authorizing the call
ing of these conventions.
These statutes were net entirely uni
form. The Legislature OF each State
prescribed the number OF delegates to
the convention and the qualifications OF
the electors who chose the delegates.
In each instance the very existence OF
the convention depended upon the prior
action of the State Legislature. 1t is
generally conceded that the proposing
of a constitutional amendment is Fed
eral function and that the ratification
of an amendment to the Constitution Is
a State function. As the ratification Is
a State function, it is my contention

ment today, unless adequate protection
Is guaranteed the dry States.
1t will be argued that this can be done
by the continuance Of the Webb-kenyon
act, but we must remember that the
ebb-Kenyon act Is only a statute, ana
its effectiveness can always be destroyed
either by repeal by wet" Congress or
by the failure of such a Congress to
provide proper penalties for its VIOLA
ton. We do not believe this will satisfy
even the milder drys.
Under the provisions Of the Repub-
ican plank it would be possible for Con-
gress to propose constitutional amend
ment which would provide for the re-
peal of the eighteenth amendment and
at the same time place in the Constltu-
tion a provision such as that suggested
by William D. Guthrie Of the New YORK
bar, which would permanently protect
the dry States of the country.
Mr.. Guthrie's suggestion is as follows: !:
THE existing eighteenth article OF
the United States Constitution is hereby
amended so as to read in lieu OF Its
present language as follows:
"ArticIe XVIII.
Section 1. The provision of clause 3
Of section 8 Of article ] of the Constitu-
ton, vesting in the Congress the power
to regulate commerce with foreign ma
tions and among the several States and
with the Indian tribe, shall not be con-
strued to empower it to authorize the
shipment, transportation, or importa-
ton into any state of intoxicating
liquors for beverage or other purposes
whenever such shipment, transportation,
or importation has been prohibited by
the law of such State, and any such
shipment or importation of intoxicating
liquors into a State in violation of its
laws, whether by the postal service or
Evening star., 1932-07-25

that the Legislatures Of the States have
the sole authority to determine the ma
ture of the convention to be called and
the action of the Legislature Of the
State is an essential prerequisite to the
calling of the convention in any State.
Opposes Convention Plan.
As one who desires an early solution
of the prohibition question. oppose
this method Of submitting the amend
ment to State conventions rather than
to the Legislatures, because In every
instance 1t requires the action of two
bodies rather than one, which means
at least delay If not complete failure
Of action.
To conclude, the Republican conven-
tion made a mistake in recommending
that the Federal Government should be
given authority to prevent the return
Of the saloon in wet" States, while the
Democrats in their ardor to appear
wetter than the Republicans fell into
the error of advocating a program that
the country is not ready to adopt, and
both parties, without much discussion
of that phase Of the question. provided
that their amendments should be sub
mitted to conventions for ratification

from the point of view of those who are opposed
to prohibition?
This question cannot be answered without
understanding of the difficulties both Of a
constitutional and of a practical nature that
stand in the way of a satisfactory solution OF
this problem.
Both planks from the point of view of the
wet" have their faults and weaknesses. The
Republican plank advocates the proposal of an
amendment by Congress which shall allow
States to deal with the problem as their citizens
may determine, but subject always to the power
of the Federal Government to protect those
States where prohibition may exist and safe
guard our citizens everywhere from the return
of the saloon and attendant absues"
Foresees Difficulties.
1t is perfectly proper that our citizens every
where should be protected from the return OF the
saloon. but to make 1t Federal duty to prevent
the return of the saloon in those States which
do not desire prohibition in my opinion, as q
practical matter, open to very severe objection.
