Mr. Hoover received Mrs. Franklin D

her uncle.
There was scarcely a distinguished
visitor at the White House during the

A radical farm leader addressed an
Iowa meeting. demanding resignation
of Secretary Wallace because Wallace
had turned his back on initiation No
eggs were thrown at the leader.
Senator Pat Harrison. a conservative.
came all the way from Mississippi to
advocate a moderate initiation openly
on the White House doorstep.
Not Very Keen About 1t.
The basic truth seems to be the
President is not very keen for any Of
the imitation methods proposed SO far.
His advisers all tell him benefits would
be largely psychological rather than
economic Also. if he gives in to pres
sure now, the same crowd will be yell
ing for another hypodermic the first
time they begin to feel badly again.
OF all methods proposed, dollar
depdludtion and the commodity dol
lar idea linked together seem to be
least Objectionable.
Internationally that will be the
general line along Which the Presi-
dent ultimately will take us. Mean
irhile, he hates to be pushed.
The big question underneath is
whether the devalued commodity dollar
would do the farmer much good. 1t
would fix him up on debts. But the
presidential advisers seem to agree ii
would not cure the price disparity be-
tween the things he must buy and sell
Some believe it would be far better
to do little arbitrary price guaran-
teeing on farm products until they can
catch up Also that artificial Govern
ment stimulation OF the building and
capital goods industries would do more
than money tampering.

so far as liquor is concerned during this
interval. But the only laws on thu

the situation seem to be the Volstead

when questioned about the situation in
the District, gave tentative opinion
that the VolStead act would still be IN

new law for the National Capital on
liquor control. even after the repeal OF
the eighteenth amendment. He said
that he had not gone thoroughly into
the matter yet. And furthermore. en-
forcement Of liquor laws comes under

trict rather than the corporation coun-
sell
Mr. Bride pointed out. in support Of
his contention, that the Volstead act
might be held to apply in the District
after the repeal Of the eighteenth
amendment. that the Supreme Court
law may be constitutional in the Dis
trlct of Columbia even though 1t be
not constitutional in the States. He
mentioned specifically the case OF the
FL Paso g. Northeastern Railway Co.
vs. Gutierrez, in which such an opinion
was handed down. Mr.. Bride admitted
that so far as the States were con-
cerned. there was no doubt that the
Volstead act would cease to apply as
soon as the twenty-firs amendment
was adopted.
Authority Up to Congress.
He pointed out that. amendment or
no amendment. Congress has authority
to make the District Of Columbia bone
dry If it desires. It did SO in the Shop
pard act before the eighteenth amend
ment was adopted. 1t Is his contention
that in so far as the Volstead act ap-
plies to the District, it must be actually
repealed by the Congress before 1t be-
; comes operative TOR the National

after the repeal of the eighteenth
amendment under the terms Of the VOL
stead except so far as 80 per cent beer
and wine are concerned.
In response to queries it has been
said at the Department Of Justice that.
as far as the States are concerned,
the effect OF the adoption of the new
amendment (the twenty first amend
menD will be Immediately to repeal
the eighteenth amendment and with
it all the Federal laws based thereon
and inconsistent with the repeal. such
as the national prohibition act (Vol-
stead act) and its amendments. No
further action on the part Of Con-
gress toward repeating such laws would
be necessary.
But the Department of Justice will
study the matter further as to the con-
tinuing in force Of the Volstead act
as tar as the District of Columbia Is
concerned. 1t may be decided that
Congress must specifically repeal the
Volstead act for the District Of
Columbia
