Congress gathers for ite new session amid a grand marshalin dry and | wet forces that bodes « lively time the prohibition issue on the legis lative floors. Timed to catch the ear of assembling | of the Senate and House the attack from some elements of the side on prohibition enforcement conditions not only has heen carried | to the White House, but even across the seas in a direct appeal to Pope | Pius XI for moral support of “civil] authority™ in this country. The appeal to the Pope by the United Committee for Prohibition Enforcement that he urge leaders the Catholic Chur in the United States to seek ater ob servance among Its members on the prohibition has drawn a sharp rebuke from Rev. John J. Burke, gen eral secretary of the National Catholic Welfare Conference. The conference comprises all the Catholic bishops in the United States. Love of America and its funda mental institutions did not direct the hand that wrote this letter, Father Burke in a_statement dis Ing the letter of Clinton N.

The committee, which comprises Catholic as well as Protestant reform organizations, sent its appeal to the; Pope after the delivery of its com- | plaint to President Coolidge Thurs- | day had caused the resignation of four of its organization representa tives, who repudiated the views it contained. On the wat side of the issue, Repre- sentative Dyer of Missouri, ranking Republican on the House judiclary committee, has announced he wiil seek outright repeal of the Volstead | act at the forthcominz session, but the executive committees of the Wom- | en's Christian Tsmperal}('e Union and the Anti-Saloon League’'heard expres. sions of confidence from more than a score of Senators and Representa- tives last night that any change in} the enforcement law would be only to strengthen it. An optimistic pic- ture of the future of prohibition was given the committees at the meeting. which also was addressed by Assist- #nt Secretary Andrews, the prohibi- tion enforcement head, and Prohibi- tion Commissioner Hayhes. Other developments in the situation inchude the announcement by the Anti-Saloon League of i legislative | progra murging that Congress “pro-| vide such additional judicial machjn- ery as is needed to speed up law en- | forcement,” and vigorous denuncia- | tion by the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment of the com- posite reform group’s criticism of the Chief Executive. The President's appointment of | Assistant Seeretary Andrews to head | the prohibition forces. the associa- tion said, is alone sufficient to “prove | the untruthful nature” of the criti cisms. Calls Letter “Impudent.” The text of Father Burke's re- joinder to Mr. Howard's letter follows in full “Mr December Clinton N.
