10 - VOLSTEAD FALS Dry Act Father Spurns Hero Worship at Copenhagen Conference. BY HIRAM K. MODERWELL. l Dy Cable to The Star and Chicago © Copyright, 1923. COPENHAGEN, . -August - 21.—For- mer Representative A. J. Volstead of Minnesota, authdr, of the Volstead law, refuses to be made a hero by meventeenth ' International Congress . Against Alcoholism here As a preliminary to a public ses- dragged to the platform by the Rev. Edward Dinwlddie. Great applause greeted the modest Minnesotan. who made a brief acknowledgement and withdrew. Copenhagen newspapers expressed astonishment at hix efforts to shun publicity. Apparently they thought So famous a man must be more imposing. Mr. Volstead refused to accept the chairmanshin of the American dele- xatlon, which then elected Wayne B. | Wheeler. “Volstead, who refuses to be tnterviewed and is simple and dem- ocratic’ in aun»r i« not the Euro- {Flnu Ide © otV oxe leader of matiea) prohibitionists. { Only Studies Probtem. Thix congress is not a world pro- hibitioni conference, a< some supposed. but rather an international study club. It does not seek to propagate | 8 sinele chosen method to combat alcoholism, but is p for the best method on the success or f: hitherto tried in Europe. Americans, however, come convinced that -their methoed is the right on They. are prepared to support their conviction with abundant evidence and statistics; Volstead today read an address on the general results of prohibition Iy America. It was ,a compact summary, gIving a vast amount of statistical data, especlally stresxing the decrease in crime and the increase, in prosperity in the United States since prohibition. Prof. Jens Warming, followed “1¢ seems to me, fs too early to decide whether na- tional prohibition will be a success or not.. The most impartial hypothe- &is 1 heard concerning the present} consumption of strong drinks was that the present consumption was about 30 per cent af what it used to be. In my opinfon prohibition is not justified if consumption cannot be re- duced more than 70 per cent. “The demand for beer and wine to be re-established Is supported by an {mportant part of public opinion among those who manifest a marked ! interest tn social welfare. The pre- mature introduction of prohibition and its results’ have weakened the respect for the prohibition idea in Europe.” WRECKED MINE REOPENS. To Resume Operations Where Ex- plosion Cost 69 Lives.
