TEYEARDRY AW RECORD OUTLAED Speakers at Meeting Cite, Work Accomplished, De- spite Opposition. National prohibition enters its tenth | year in the “face of a persistent de- | fiance” of the amendment and the very | Government which seeks to enforce it, in the opinion of speakers at a mass| meeting of Washington clergy and lay- men called last night by the Anti-| Saloon League of America to observe the ninth annmwversary of the enact-! ment. The meeting, which assembled some 750 prohibition workers at the Men's City Club, indorsed plans for an in- tensified educational campaign “to en- lighten the people of America, especial- | ly the youth,” as a means of checking the spread of lawlessness. The meeting was one of two in the | interest of prohibition held here last! night, the other bringing together rep- ! resentatives of all local Baptist Young People’s Unions at National Memorial Baptist Church. 5 While the speakers at the City Club, including Scott McBride, general su- perintendent of the league, and George W. Morrow, field secretary, emphatical- 1y denied that prohibition could be con- | sidered a “failure,” they asserted that nine years has served to accentuate the necessity for renewed efforts on the part of dry workers. Urges Dry Washington. Mr. McBride pointed out that the city of Washington, “under the govern- ment of Congress, should be made dry by the Government . directed by those who enacted the Jaw and who are most of all responsible nationally for its ad- ministration.” Another speaker was Robert P. Car- son, lecturer, of Denver, Colo., who de- scribed himself as a dry Democrat, and ass®ted that the national election could neither be considered a Repub- lican victory nor a Democratic defeat, but purely a triumph for national en- forcement of the prohibition law. Mr. Morrow, who acted as toastmas- ter, stressed the necessity far carrying the dry educational campaign to “the 27,000,000 young people in our schools and colleges who have no conception of the old saloon.” Other speakers were Willis J. Abbot, editor of the Christian Science Monitor, and Senator Robinson of Indiana. A musical prcgram was rendered by he American University Orchestra, un- «er leadership of Dr. C. H. Leineweber. Topics at Mass Meeting. * The last presidential election was pic- tured primarily as an even greater Vic- tory for the forces of prohibition than 4t was for Herber Hoover and the Re- publican party, by Clinton N. Howard, chairman of the National United Com- mittee for Law Enforcement, in an ad- dress before the mass meeting in the National Memorial Baptist Church. “The only thing. under heaven. which saved the Republican party from the chastisement which it deserved on its moral record was the dry plank in its platform and the -high character of its candidate,” he declared. . World League Statement. WESTERVILLE, Ohio, January 16— Notwithstanding that American tem- perance forces are highly gratified with the results of prohibition and despite the progress made in the fight for world prohibition, there still is room for improvement in the situation arnd “every reason to expect that improve- ment will come.about,” says a statement issued yesterday on the eve of the tentn anniversary of the eighteenth amend- ment by Dr. Ernest H. Cherrington, secretary of the World League Against_Alcoholism. Dr. Cherrington declared that “much of #ne success of the temperance move- ment depends on education.” He placed the major responsibility on *industrial, commercial, social and po- litical leaders,” who, he said, “by rea- sor. of ihcir influence and leadership must of necessity carry the largest de- gree of responsibility - for law -observ- ance.” .
