Since thirty-three dry states have sixty- six representatives in the United States Senate, which is just two more than the requisite two-thirds, a resolution calling for the repeal of the eighteenth amendment would not at this time have a ghost of a show. The chances of getting two-thirds in the House are similarly slim, because the west and south together command enough votes to block action. So what is the first step that the people opposed to extreme prohl- {bition will be asked to take? Modi- {fication of the Volstead law to per- ,mit a higher alcoholic content than lone-half of 1 per cent.
