In opening his address, Shaft ex-
planned that each man defines

features Of Americanism Is the form
Of government, national traditions
and public Psychology.

miscellaneous legislation."
Annendment Out q Place
The 18th amendment. he said, had
no place IN the constitution and its
unpopularity and difficulty Of re-
moval weakened the respect held BY
al Americans for the constitution
which had served well for many dec

given congress the power to prohibit
