Mr. Hill declared in a letter to the chairman that this was asked since “attempted law enforce- ment under the Volstead act by Commissioner Haynes and the proNibition unit had admittedly failed.” “1 appeared before your com- mittee in May, 1921,” Mr. Hill wrote, “to urge adoption of this bill, as an amendment to the so= called_medical beer bill. At that time Mr. Wayne B. Wheeler and the Anti-saloon League strenuous- 1¥ opposed enactment of my pro- posed legislation. Since that time it has become obvious that attempted enforcement of the Volstead act by the prohibition unit and the persons anpointed by Prohibition Commissioner Haynes has become futile, pub- licly scandalous and conducive to disrespect for all law.” OF D.
