RELIEF FUNDS
ON DISASTER
BASIS URGED
More Money Than Even
Most Liberal Bills Provide
~ Held Needed.
BY RUTH FINNEY
Times staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The led
eraI government must provide more
relief for restitution in 1888 than
even the most liberal bills pending
in congress have proposed, in the
opinion of social workers from New
York, Chicago and Philadelphia,
summoned here by the senate man
ufacturerS committee.
DR.. Sidney Z. Goldstein, chairman
of the joint committee on unemploy-
ment, told the committee that S750-,
] 0O0,0 must be made available by
the federal government in order to
save a large part Of our population
from disaster
He estimates that the state of
New York, which so far has made
no application for federal funds,
must get $75,000,0 900 from this source
for 1888.
Swiftly Mounting Burdens
Samuel A. Goldsmith, executive
director of Jewish Charities of Chi
cago, testified that Illinois must have
$4,000 900 for 1888, based on dis
aster standards of relief, and that
only S31,51O,O0O is in sight, including
the maximum which the state may
borrow from the R. F. c., and posi-
bic funds from state bond issue
which so far has not sold.
Jacob A. Billikopf of the Fedora
ton of Jewish Charities of Phila-
delphia told the committee that it's
$500, 900 relief bill, sponsored by
Senators Edward ?. Costigan and
Robert La Toilette, probably would
be inadequate.
All the witnesses heard so far
have told stories of swiftly mount
ing relief burdens and of depleted
| funds, resulting in distribution by
social agencies of just enough food
to keep needy applicants alive.
ASsaiI Policy of r. F. c.
New York has 10000 families
known to need relief, but receive
nothing at the present time, &C
cording to William Hodson, eXecu-
tive director of the welfare coun-
Gil of New York City.
All witnesses, likewise. have agreed
that the R. F. G. federal policy of
doing out relief funds for a few
weeks at a time, has resulted in I'M
! certainty which has meant extreme
suffering in some cases, a desperate
fear among all the needy, and
wasteful disorganization of admin
istrative relief efforts.

The first revolution in legalized
national habits was brought about
after eighty years of ceaSeless agi-
tation. 1t succeeded only, we may
believe, after its Jealous advocates
had aligned good business with a
pseudo-moral argument; only after
the Wayne Wheelers, the William
Jennings Bryans, William H. An
dersonS ct al, had made it appear
to be both thrifty and righteous to
be for prohibition.
The defeat of prohibition re-
CURED only about six years of
effectual agitation. y But the
groundwork had been laid in the
widespread and personal nullif1-
cation by millions of freeborn
citizens who exercised a citizens
privilege no means novel nor
unprecedented-to set aside in
practice a distaSteful law.
And the depression, shifting the
self-interest of the mercantile
classes, finished the job.
The first flush of prohibition
victory abated, how did the coun-
try react to the Constitutional
strait jacket? In the next article
the beginnings OF the passive re-
belIiOn against VOlsteadism will

TINE talk along Jake Pfaff'S
i neighborhoOd bar in 1916
the year the Anti-Saloon League
elected a congress Overwhelmingly
pledged to a bone dry amendment
was quite likely to run in this
wise:
We'll, if they make it nation
wide, I guess it might be a good
thing. 1 can do without the stuff
if everybody else has to. I guess
liquor never done anybody much
good
At the commercial club in small
cities at Rotary luncheons, all
places where employers gathered
socially, the argument followed
this approximate course:
I'm for it, if it will keep the
hands sober. I guess if We did
away with booze altogether we
wouldn't have any more blue
Mondays at the factory.
Anyway, we need sober hands
for all this modern machinery,
the automobile and everything
and it ought to help business to
take all that money away from
the saIoonkccpeIs and brewers and
put it in the pockets Of legitimate
business men,
So skillfully had the Anti-Saloon
League, plentifully endowed with
moneys, 100000 a year-and Of
fioered by singlc-minded experts
in propaganda, elaborated the
economic argument, the appeal to
the pocket nerve. that by the time
the United States entered the
World war the business commun-
ity generally-from the Rookie
felers, Prick and Judge Gary to
village shopkeepers-favored, if it
did not actually indorse, the
eighteenth amendment.
No sensible observer of the pro-
hibitiOn phenomenon from 1916
to 1882 can doubt that the self
interest Of business men proved
the compelling factor in the adop-
ton Of Volsteadism; just as. We
may assume, the panicky demand
of the commercial interests for
relief from federal taxation and a
balanced budget put the decisive
spoke into The recent political
revolt against prohibition.
II
IN the first phase, the maudlin
L humanitarianism of IT en-
Nights in a Barroom' probably
would not have prevailed against
the billion dollar investment Of
the liquor interests in the sec
ond, moral revulsion against boot
Logging and gangsterism might
have gone hang except for the
depression.
The Anti-Saloon League played
its ace when it convinced the
commercial middle-ClaSs that
death to the Demon Rum would
lengthon profits by SOLDERING up
the workers and diyerting buying
power from Tins place to the
department store and the savings
bank; the prohibition reform
forces made genuine Roadway
only when they dangled the bait
of a half billion in excise taxes
before the worried business man.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1933-01-05

The American people have a
livey, if unpredictable, moral SEN
sibility; yet their instinct for
profit is demonstrably more acute.
To gain perspective on the rise
and fall of prohibition, and espe-
cially the revolution against Vol
steadism, the economic factor
must be emphasized.
It was not the World war-as
so many bcleve-aS much as a
form of business cupidity that
finally ushered this country into
the socially Earring, ethically per-
verse nightmare that began in
1920.
THE absence of 100000 to
L 100000 soldiers in Europe
or in camp during the days
when the eighteenth amendment
was being scantily debated in
congress no longer is considered
a factor in the decision. The
plain fact is that the congress
that handed down the amend
ment to the state legislatures had
been elected in 1916 when the
soldiers either we're voting at
home or too young to exercise
that privilege.
The legislatures which so
promptly ratified the amendment,
and with a majority Of roughly
80 per cent of their memberships,
were elected, it is true, while
most of the soldiers were away
from home in the fall Of 1917
but the question Of nationwide
prohibition appears not to have
been an issue in that election.
What does appear bluntly on
the record is that the wet forces,
uulcd and indifferent, put up no
actual fight whatever in con-
gross. in the legislatures or in the
popular elections from 1916 to
1919, when the damage had been
done.
The vets began to fight only
after the stampede had fattened
them, imbedding the obnoxious
amendment so firmly into the
Constitution that many leaders
despaired until 1882 of It's re-
moval
Speaking strictly from the
record, it is manifest that the
vets, caught fatfooted by the
strength and fury of the dry
crusade, did not begin to fight
until long after they were licked
soundIy
TWENTY SIX states were dry
i by statute or constitutional
amendment before April 1, 1917
on the eve of adoption by congress
of the eighteenth amendment-by
a vote of IS to 20 in the senate;
282 to 1913 in the house.
Nine others, a total of thirty
five. adopted some sort of pro-
hibition measure. two by statute,
seven by amendment, between
April /. 1917, and the passage of
the VOlstead act in 1919.
Large areas in the thirteen wet
states were dry by local option of
one sort and another.
Won Consent of Majority
Viewing the spread Of prohibi-
ton and its final Towering in the
Volstead act from all sides, it is
certain that the dry crusade
swept all before it,
