Depends on Individual Viewpoint. Some critics inside the party may not accept that view of it, some may insist that the republican national committee hasn't seen the real ob- stacle, namely the connection of the world’ court with the league, but there again it all depends upon in- dividual viewpoint and interpreta- tion.

Bootlegging, rum-running and other violations of the liquor laws are wholly secondary, in the view of federal authorities, to the gravity of the issue wrapped up in the New York prohibi- tion situation. ~ Whether Thursday's great debate at Albany results in repeal of the state enforcement laws or not, the repercussion is bound to be vital and | of national consequence. If Gov. Smith vetoes the repeal bill and sustains the law, federal officials are be immeasurably advantaged far and de. Conversely, if enforcement is wiped from New York's statute bool repeal will be hailed as a “repudiation of prohibition, incalculable in its pos- sibilities. How the White House views | situation may be judged by an articie| jin the June number of the Review of Reviews by Judson C. Welliver, s important member of President Harding's executive staff.

Hardest Enforcement Nut. His article concludes: “Much more serious than three-mile limit questions is the repeal of the state prohibition enforcement act by New York. With its enormous mar- t, its ample supplies of capital for such adventures, and its equally am- ple number of people ready for any enterprise that promises handsome profits, New York has been the hard- est nut for the enforcement authori- ties. “With the whole responsibility in enforcement unloaded on the federal officials it will become a still ‘more difficult problem, in New York shall such an extent as to prohibition system e strated failure or break down to ake the whole her a demo! excessively expen- sive the consequences musi be ex- tremely demoralizing. The secession of the great metropolitan state, whi: contains one-tenth of the country population, must obviously mark the beginning of something like a new epoch in the experiment of enforcing prohibition.” Dry leaders admit thatsenforcement repeal in New York would be a griev- {ous setback in the tedious campaign to popularize prohibition in the public mind. It was Chief Justice Taft who prophesied that it would take ten years to create “the state of mind” necessary to bring about practical re- spect for the liquor laws. During the three years and a half the Volstead act has been in effect its exponents believe progress on the whole has kept relative pace with Mr. Taft's forecast. They are frankly fearful that New York may overturn this period of spade-work. that two states—Maryland and Mas- sachusetts—never passed enforce- ment legislation, is considered far less important than would be the ac- tion of the largest state in the Union casting out enforcement laws enacted and in effect. ew York's move in that direction would be in- terpreted widely as an indication prohibition had broken down. The wets, it is feared, will leave no stone unturned to broadcast such an im pression. Dry authorities would al- most prefer that Manhattan Island | should continue to circumvent en- forcement, as it has been doing, ! rather than it should utterly abolish the enforcement system. Government to Carry Om. No sensational consequences would {follow repeal in New York, as far as the federal prohibition authorities are concerned. In answer to a direct question on the subject, White House spokesmen have said that federal en- forcement would simply be prose- cuted with “greater wigor.” Nobody need imagine that this would mean unseemly invasion of states’ rights, or the dispatch of formidable federal forces to dry up New, York on an in- tensive scale. To begin with, there's no money for such a purpose. The entire_federal prohibition budget is only $9,000,000. and $250,000 of that um is earmarked for suppression of the narcotics traffic. At the instiga- tion of Gen. Lord, director of the budget, Commissioner Haynes con- sented to a cut of $250,000 in the { pronibition_appropriations, In New York, if there is to be no concurrent state enforcement in the scnse of the eighteenth amendment, Tncle Sam will simply have to worry along. as he has worried along in Maryland and Massachusetts. That is to say, Commissioner Haynes will continue to regard it his primar: duty to seal up the sources of nuai =upply rather than hound individual malefacters with an absurdly insuf- ficlent fleld force.
