President Plainly States What National Pol-
 icy Is Aimed at
SALOON NOT TO COME
 BACK IN ANY GUISE
Purchase of Alcoholic Bev- erages from Legiti-
 mate Sources Only

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.- A doubly purposed proclama- ton putting the official end to Prohibition and calling on the American people to help restore the respect of law and order was issued last night by President Roosevelt.
 The President made a spec ial plea that no State author ize the return of the saloon, either in it's old form or in a new guise.
 The Chief Executive said the objective being soug h t through the National policy was to educate every citizen toward greater e m p erance and asking cooperation of the Governments effort to restore the respect of law and order.
 Buy Legitimateiy
 The President enjoined all citi- zens and others of the United States to confine purchases of alcoholic beverages solely from li- censed dealers.
 In conclusion the President said:
 'I trust in the good sense of the American people that they will not bring upon themselves the curse of ex- cessive use of intoxicating liquors to the detriment of health, morals and social in- tegrity."
 Government Ready
 Repeal found the Government prepared to control the flow of liquor in wet States through vir- tual dictatorship over the industry, and to protect arid States.
 Liquor, at present, can be sold legally in only eighteen States be- cause local Prohibition laws still stand on the statute books and the Eighteenth Amendment must first be elected from the Constitution.
 Against Bootlegger
 Attempts are being made to keep bootleggers from profiting by the expected increased demand for legitimate liquor.
 Release of the medicinal Govern ment supply of liquor continues and negotiations with other countries for trade pacts whereby their spirits and wines might be ex- changed for American farm sur pluses are underway.
