Shall Only the BIG Bootleggers Be Jailed? O DEVELOPMENT IN THE WHOLE COURSE OF N the historic struggle of the last five years over the Eighteenth Amendment has been more signifi- cant, in the opinion of the Baltimore Sun, than the con- troversy between Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti-Saloon League, and United States District At- torney Emory R. Buckner, of New York. Apparently, con- cludes the Newark News, Mr. Wheeler is preparing to fight harder than ever during the session of Congress just ahead “to prevent modification of the Volstead Act, and has taken this means of declaring war.” What seems to have started Mr. Wheeler off on his cru- sade against Mr. Buckner---a crusade which took the dry leader to the White House---is the District Attorney’s re- cent announcement that the business of the Government in the present emergency is to dry up the sources of liquor supply, and not waste time and money in trying to run down petty bootleggers, waiters in cafes and side-door saloon-keepers. The District Attorney, according to the Providence News, “also admits that he can not regard a man who carries a flask on his hip as being as hardened a criminal as a burglar or a forger. And that, of course, in the eyes of Mr. Wheeler is a high crime and misdemeanor.” This gives but a hint of the interesting character of this article in The Literary Digest, Dec. 5th issue. Desperate Plight of European Protestantism ROTESTANTISM IN CONTINENTAL EUROPE is reported in P a desperate battle for its life, with the outlook so ominous as to raise the question whether it is not on the point of death. Some of the causes of Protestantism’s desperate condition are inher- ent in its divisions; others have been induced by the war. The net result, we are told, is almost complete loss of prestige, lack of finan- cial and moral support, depletion in clergy and congregations, loss of its press and the lack of new recruits to take up the work interrupted by death, starvation and disillusionment. The grim facts are present- ed by the Rev. Dr. George Stewart, associate pastor of the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, in New York City. As a member of a special survey committee of the Near East Relief and as a student of religious conditions, he has traveled extensively in Europe and Asia- tic Russia. He is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society of Eng- land. In fourteen countries in Europe, writes Dr. Stewart, Protestant- ism “lives in an atmosphere of defeat, of hatred, of greed and fear— the four outstanding characteristics of the post-war turmoil in each of the warring countries.” This is a ringing challenge to Protestant America that should awaken it to the need of coming to the rescue of their co-religionists in Europe.
