You Cannot LegisIute Morality

The issue Of prohibition
had, of course, been argued
for many decades. State
after State, each in its own
way, had been going "dry."
But, not satisfied to let each
State or community handle
the problem, the extremists
forced through a Federal
prohibition amendment. 1t
was termed by President
Hoover in his acceptance
speech Of 1928 ian expert
ment. noble in purpose"
While he, himself. had Sc
rious doubts about trying to
effect q reform by national
constitutional amendment, he
was sincere in his efforts at
enforcement. When repeal
came in 1888. the Twenty
first Amendment gave the
problem back to the States.
where it is now--some States
being dry" or partly "dry"
and some being wet"
Local option to let each
State or community handle
moral questions-is the only
way that has proved success
full in dealing with social
problems in America. The
indignation" controversy is
today in its infancy. It may
take years to solve It. To
anyone who lived through
the tragic era Of prohibition
and saw crime and vice on
the rise, it was obvious that
the American people came to
believe the "cure"-enforced
abstinence-was worse than
the disease itself. As Presi-
dent Eisenhower says, "You
cannot legislate morality"
Maybe history will repeat
itself and some day the peo-
pie may adopt a constitu-
tional amendment specifically
overriding the Supreme Court
decision Of three years ago
and giving to each State the
right to handle its own
school problems. It seemed
improbable in 1922 - three
years after the Eighteenth
Amendment was proclaimed
that It would ever be re-
pealed. It seemed improbable
as late as the 1928 presiden-
tial campaign, when a wet"
was defeated. But It hap.
pened four years later Just
the same.

1t is in the Far East, so
the professionals strongly

battle successfully to Red
Imperialism while there Is
still time. This is still the
field where battles will be
fought as wars Of national
revolution by the Eastern
peoples themselves against
the new Red colonialism to
gain INDEPENDENCE and free
dom for their countries. This
will be supported by all East
ern nations. including the
Chinese.
If this war of national rev.
olution could be positively
prosecuted before the USSR
completes its preparations for
the final major war Of the
century" it would be a direct
blow to her and would remove
the danger Of a third world
war.
The peoples of this area
are mostly asking for the
moral support Of the free
world and some air and To-
CYSTIC support from the United
States. But they are asking
this in vain.
BY talking. say the stu

avoid a physical aggression
against Europe and maybe in
the Middle East. But we will
not avert a body blow against

Presidents Words Revive Memories
OF Eighteenth Amendments Failure
DAVID LAWRENCE

Words of wisdom born Of q
sad experience by the Ameri-
can people a generation ago
prompted President Eisen-
hover TO. say ct Newport the
other day:
you cannot leeislate mo-
rality where human beings
are involved-it must come
from within"
This can readily be con-
strued as a lesson to be
learned in connection with
the controversy over ''inte-
grafton" in the public schools.
But back Of the comment was
the knowledge so few
Americans have today but
which is evidently vivid in
Eisenhower's own recollection
of the way almost the en-
tire Nation dealt with the
prohibition question. The
people themselves by the mil
lions joined in multiplying the
Constitution in the l920s.
Enforcement became imprac-
teal. Then, by actual re-
peal of the Eighteenth
Amendment under which
prohibition had been pro-
claimed. the problem was
turned back to the local
communities.
Strangely enough, as one
reads Of the surprised atti-
tude Of so many persons to-
day concerning the concept
of notification" it might be
thought that this had never
occurred in America. Former
President Truman, who vio-
lated the Constitution when
he seized the steel industry in
the spring of 1852, talked
glibly the other day of the
Importance Of obeying the
Constitution as he repri-
manded Eisenhower for not
taking more forceful meas
ures in Arkansas. Yet almost
everyone forgets that ''nullifi-
cation" is q procedure adopt
ed by a people who resent
any arbitrary imposition Of a
law or rule Of law by q mi
nority or by an oligarchy.
Today It is a Supreme Court

stitutional amendment nor a

there actually was in the

law Of the land" on prohi-
bition.
While the \ controversy
about enforcement lasted IL
years. the actual process of
putting through a repeal
amendment took less than 10
months in the year 1888.
The widely expressed re-
action at the time was
epitomized in the oft-heard
remark Of those days: You
cannot legislate morals"
How many people are

tics shows that of the 1O2,.

To put it another way, only
% per cent know from
first-hand experience how
the American people, by in
dividual notification, made
a dead letter of the Eigh-
teenth Amendment, notwith-
standing the fact that the
