Seek Means for En
forcing Federal Dry
Act in New York
Washington.—The prohibition en
forcement emergency thrust upon the
federal government by the repeal of
the state enforcement act in New York
is to be the subject of an important
conference to be held this week. Sec
retary of the Treasury Mellon, Com
missioner of Internal Revenue Blair,
Attorney General Daugherty and Pro
hibition Commissioner Haynes will be
called upon to work out plans for con
tinuing enforcement of the law in New
York without the co operation of state
officials.
Immediate efforts are being made to
.enlarge the federal stall' of agents in
New York state, but no general plan
of campaign on the part of the govern
ment to meet the emergency has yet
been worked out.
Praises New York Governor.
Representative Fred A. Britton, re
publican, of Illinois, in reiterating to
day bis determination to introduce a
bill on the opening of Congress, grant
ing state local option for light wines
and beer, praised the action of New
York’s democratic governor.
“The onlv outstanding ligure in dem
ocratic national politics,” said Repre
sentative Britton, “is Governor A1
Smith, of New York, and he becomes
so through signing a bill which repeals
state enforcement of the Volstead
plague.
“The New York legislature, repre
senting more people than Arizona, Col
orado, Delaware, Idaho. Montana, Ne
vada, New Hampshire, New Mexico,
Florida, Maine, Connecticut, Wyoming,
the Dakotas, Oregon, Rhode Island,
Utah and Vermont combined— eighteen
states—had passed the Cuvillier bill in
the interest of «tate self-government,
and 80,000,000 sane, liberty-loving peo
ple of America expected Smith to sign
that bill. His failure to have done so
in order to please a highly-organized
minority of peculiar but well-inten
tioned people would have eliminated
him as a presidential possibility who
could not even carry his own state
again.
“The fanatics who cried to New York
to ‘Stay in the Union’ had not said that
Woodrow Wilson was wrecking the
constitution when ha vetoed the now
unpopular and disgraced Volstead
scourge. No one contended then that
the Volstead blight was in 'fact the
constitution, and it is silly to suggest
such a thing now.
“The stales that failed to ratify the
eighteenth amendment are still a very
contented part of the Union.”
Says They Plan “Wet” Nation.
Baltimore.—Wayne B. Wheeler, gen
eral counsel of the Anti-Saloon League,
in an address here last night, declared
that the plan of the “wets,” as revealed
by the action of the New York legisla
ture. is to get back the “whole Hood of
intoxicating beverages,” and to repeal
not onlv the national, but state prohi
bition enforcement laws.
“This plan.” said Mr. Wheeler,
“means clean-cut nulliiication of the
