They do not want to go to the promised land, but want to stay where they are, “Today we have those who are sat- isfled with things as they are. who Wwant to break away from the consti- tuted laws and who conyantly talk about their ‘personal rights. ‘If we jwant to drink' they say, ‘we will drink.

He said that in his judgment two steps should be taken to bring about enforcement of the prohibition law. Would Eliminate Politic: First, he sald, the federal enforce- ment service should be taken wholly out of politics. _Second, the head of the federal pro- hibition 'enforcement service should be placed directly under the Presi- dent and made responsible to him, “until ' the present situation is cleaned.
