The curtailment of the expedi

was forced, by tbe ■- adverse
weather which has locked the

Washington.—A death- blow to tbs
hopes of “wets” that the national, pro*
hibitiun law may be repealed; if the
Cool id g« administration’*- run war
fails, V/as sounded here today by Sea*
atSr William H.. Kibg, democrat, of
;Ut»h, who led congressional opposition
to enactment of the eighteemh amend*
ment. <
Kin? declared there can he no real<
change in the dry statute, even though
the government flnallt confesses ita-ki*
ability to properly enforce the law. -
' To (restore old-fash ioned: beer and
other intoxicating liquors* he said,
would require a constitutional amende
meat with its ratification by thirty-six
states; Such an overthrow of prohibi
tion, be added, is hopslesa during the
present generation.
The only possible modifieatioa, King
cited, might come-by action of'Qsa
gress to legalize 2.75 per cent beer fend
wine. This perceatage of alcoholic
content, be explained, already had been
termed “non-intoxicating” by govern
meo experts and therefore is not
banned by tbe eighteenth amendment.
■As a member of thd Counenc sena
torial committee, which adjourned* its
hearings for the sueunieivXmgmatte a
study of the ecferoement.iHtuatlOB. <He
declared hia observation#.rewealedseri«
qu» defects in the prohibition* service,
due chieSy tcM the failure of enforce
ment officials to seek "higher-ups’* in
the bootlegging industry*
“No matter-how mach a failure'the
government’s prohibition drive be
comes, Congress will be*-without the
power to repeal the statute or to lib
eralize the law,” said King;' -***I see no
possibility, certainly no probability** of
any mod in cation of" thfe- eighteenth
amendment. The only real modifica
tion of the eighteenth amendment
Tbe only real modification must -come
through a constitutional amendment,
and that virtually is an impossibility.
Without such ae amendment Congress
is powerless to legalise tbe sale or
manufacture of any intoxicating li
quors for beverage purposes.”
The wets, King said, wM4 have to be
satisfied with an effort to legalize 2.75
per cent beer and wine. A drive for
this modification is anticipated.
