PHE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO! TURDAY, MAY 3, 1930. DRY TEST HALED | BY GERMAN LEADER ' Gy WooDWARD & LLOTHROP Dr. Melle, Here to Confer on Prohibition. 10th, 11th, F and G Streets Phone District 5300 Sale Monday Smart Early Summer Hats, $3.75 Golden Anniversary Year Special | Worlid responsibility shouldered upon | the United States when it undertook the abolition of alcohol as a beverage can only be discharged by successful enforcement. according to the leader of | & temperence fight in Germany for local ! option, Dr. Otto Melle, Dr. Melle, who arrived in Washington today to confer «ith dry leaders, said b the prominence of American prohibition news in publications everywhere has turned the eyes of the world on “the great test” in progress here. “If you fulfill the undertaking on which ‘you are embarked,” Dr. Melle said, “it will be the greatest contribu- tion’ of the century to the life of the human race. “The front pages of Europe are full . of your prohibition news almost daily, and I am sorry to say that much of it is presented in an unfavorable light. Dry Sentiment Seen Growing. ““The idea, however, is taking root in Heavy, Extra Large Turkish Towels 35¢ each $4 dozen Golden Anniversary Year Special “Champion” Tennis Rackets $4.95 Golden Anniversary Year Special Europe and each year there is a deeper :efnmment for some sort of alcohol con- | rol.” Dr. Melle is chairman of the National i Committee for Local Option in Ger- many and recently led a delegation which presented to the Reichstag a | petition of 2,500,000 signatures for legislation to enable political subdivi- sions to regulate the jssuance of liquor sale licenses by popular vote. The visitor also is president of the Theological Seminary of the Methodist | Episcopal Church at Fronkfort, and | came to this country in his capacity as a | churchman to attend an_international | meeting in New York of the foreign missions commission of his church. Dr. Melle has been actively engaged for many years past in an effort to unite | the many temperance associations of Germany behind the local option plan, for which there is considerable support in the Reichstag, he said. Impressed With Conditions. Dr. Melle was favorably impressed with conditions in the United States under the dry regime and expressed the con- viction that enforcsment would succeed. | “In Germany too much money goes for beer and liquors,” he said, “too much | money is spent in advertising and too much money is made by distilleries and breweries. “It i3 am unhealthy condition, a poor foundation upon which to build a republic. The most profitable business in Germany is the brewing and dis- | tilling business. Abuses have sprung from the licensing system and we are hopeful that, through local opt'on, the people themselves will awake to a more complete sense of public respon:ibility. “It is necessary to train the people of every democracy in the functions of that democracy. Such legislation will | enable them to exercise a greater voice | in the government upon a question which is their greatest problem. “Sentiment for temperance is grow- in Germany, even among the | university students, whose ' traditions before the war were favorable to ex- | cessive drinkng. Once it was the | tradition of the student that alcohol | ‘was the beverage of the gentleman, that | & man could not be a gentleman and | cultivate the social graces without | | New Social Ideal Sought. | “This is a tradition which we are seeking to replace with a new ideal of social life, and in the work we are | finding the ascistance of many profes- sors and large numbers of the students themselves. “Germany cannot hope to win her | rightful place in the economic world of today if she continues to permit drink to weaken the brains and muscles of her | people. “In this country you already have a | great class of people who will not drink | alcohol, people in all walks of life and of every circumstance, law-abiding and | with a proper sense of their public re- sponsibility. “Particularly in the West is the pro- | hibition idea "taking hold, although 1| have traveled from one end of your land to the other without once having a drink offered me, without once seeing & drink taken and without once glimps- ing an intoxicated man.” Dr. Melle will remain in Washington for several days before returning to New York. On_his arrival here he conferred with officers of the Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals and made plans to call upon the German Ambassador later in the day.
