Justice Brandeis said there was no basis for the contention that President Wilson’s_ state- ment in his message vetoing the prohibition enforcement act that the war had come to an end was a proclamation announcing the termination of the war. The judgment of the court in the Kentucky and New York cases was unanimous. The court will render opinion again next Monday, at which time the beer cases are expected to be decided, after which the court will recess until January 5. Upon the court’s decision on the prohibition enforcement law, which is expected early in Jan- uary. will depend whether the federal government has at hand any legal means for making the amendment effective. The con- stitutionality of wartime prohi- bition, the wets are confident, will keep the country dry until the amendment is carried into effect by law of its own. READ BY JUSTICE BRANDEIS. The decision of the supreme court today deciding appeals from Ken- and New York involving the constiutionality of the war-time pro- hibition act was read by Associate Justice Brandeis. _Federal court decrees in New York ig ing proceedings brought iby Dryfoss, Blum & Co., to compel inter- nal revenue officials to permit the withdrawal from bond of whiskey for beverage purposes were affirmed -by the court. In deciding the question the su- preme court also dissolved injunc- tions restraining revenue officials from interferring with the removal from ‘bond of about 70,000,000 gal- lons of whiskey valued at approxi- mately $75,000,000 held by the Ken- tucky distilleries and warehouse companies of Louisville, Ky, History of Case. Constitutionality of the War time Prohibition and the prohibition en- forcement laws was attacked in tho Supreme Court in three different ap- peals, One came from Kentucky. where the former statute was held in valid. Two came from New. York where both acts were sustained. Beside the millions of dollars invest+ ed in brewery and distilling plants the decision affects approximately 60,000,- 000 gallons of whiskey valued alone at between $100,000,000 and $200,000,000 according to internal revenue officials? estimates. The case of the Kentucky Distiller- ies and Warehouse Company of Louis- + ville, Ky., and Dryfoos, Blum & Com- pany of New York were virtually iden- tical and Tesulted from efforts to com- pel the government to release whiskey from bond. The third case, an appeal of Jacob Ruppert, a brewer of New. York, involved authority under the acts to manufacture beer contatning 2.75 percent alcohol. In arguing the cases before the St preme Court on Nov. 20 and 21, 1919, Elihn Root and\ other appearing in opposition to the prohibition acts con- tended that war-time prohibition was unconstitutional hecause Congress had No power to prohibit the sale of in- toxicants mithin a state except under its war power, which had ceased; that the act conflicted with, the Fifth eon: stitutional amendment prohibiting, the taking of private property without just compensation and that the war~ had terminated, making the act obse- lete and invalid.
