Dunford Tells In- stitute It Was Logical Davelopment. By the Asson CHARLO’ rust 18.—"“The to the United States was vard B. Dunford. assistant general counsel for the Anti-Saloon L. the Univ ul modern deve rient of the principles of the orig- faal Constitution that this should be A government to promote the general welfare: that the people have the to determine the character of r laws and the right to adopt conditions | v common welfare could long exist . without having to deal with the evils t of alcoholic bev es.” out that cable” systel control of liquor traffic empted in some part of the country efore the amendment was ratified, Mr. Dunford sald that it was only ratural for the people to cal »lay the facilities of the Fu ranment to deal with the pl with which it could best deal vientioned among those phases smuggling, interstate traffic and con- trol of bonded warehouses. Repeal Remote Probability. “The amendment has been held by the Supreme Court to be a valid part of the Constitution and to be binding on all legislative bodles, courts, public officers and individuals within the limits of the United States,” he said. “The probability of its repeal is very remote. As long as it is in the Con- stitution there is only one consistent attitude which those who believe in constitutional government can take, namely, to observe the law and to ex- ert their influence that the law be en- forced. Any other policy invites law- lessness and anarchy.” Mr. Dunford stated that the oppo-: growin nents of the present law thus far have demonstrated only three things: “First, that there is a minority opposed to the existing law: second, that they desire to have the beverage liquor traffic re- stored, and, third, that there is no sgreement among them upon any solu- tion of the social problem growing out of the use of alcoholic stimulants.” He said that this is asserting condi- tions under the law to be satiwfactory and offering no substitute. Pointing to various bills introduced in Congress at the last session, he de- clared that these clearly showed the ‘wide divergence of views in the ranks of the minority, and what is very illogi- cal. an attempt to cure alleged alco- holic lawlessness by increasing the al- coholic content in permitted beverages. Intoxicating Liquor Illegal. “As long as the eighteenth amend- ment is in the Constitution no liquor intoxicating in fact may be legalized,” he asserted. “Simply to increase the alcoholic content to where it becomes mildly, intoxicating. would not satisty. those Who demand alcoholic stimu- lants, but it would greatly increase the difficulties of law enforcement through the reopening of breweries and the saloon or its counterpart. “The Senator from Maryland, Mr. Bruce, presented the only proposal for amending the eighteenth amendment. His proposal would give to Congress exclusive power, with such enforce- ment aid as might be lent by the States and be a Congress, to regu- late, but Mot to ‘prohibit or unreason- ably restrict the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors. This would be & complete surrender of the police pow- ers of the States over the subject of intoxicating .-dliquors to the Federal Government and the legislative au- thority of Congress would have to be exercised to. promote the sale of liquors, never to prohibit or unreason- ably restrict it. “This propesal is in direct eonflict :1“;‘1 lhehvl;' t:kefl by the Governor aryvland, who insists " rights.” i Every objection now made to the amendment was voiced against local option legislation, the speaker said, adding that when the amendment was adopted 95 per cent of the territory of the United States was “no license” and that 68 per cent of the people lived in - that territory. “The present issue is greater than the liquor traffic,” he added. “It is a question, can democracy succeed?
