By the Associated Press. LAKE JUNALUSKA, N. C., July 5.— The Board of Temperance and Social Service of the Methodist Episcopal Church South yesterday voted ap- proval of the Stalker resolution intro- duced in Congress and providing for an amendment to the Constitution to make citizenship rather than popula- tion the basis of congressional rep- I resentation. Bishop James Cannon, jr. presi- dent of the board which is meeting here, expressed belief such an amend- ment would be helpful to prohibition “by eliminating an element unfriendly to_prohibition.” ‘The resolution said in part: “In view of the fact that under the new apportionment several States will suf- fer the loss of members of Congress, which losses are principally in dry States, and since the States with the large wet alien-dominated cities now have approximately 30 congressmen, 30 electoral votes and 60 delegates to the national nominating conventions who represent not American citizens, but seven and one-half million unnatural aliens, we heartily approve the Stalker resolution providing for an amendment to the Constitution of the United States which will eliminate all unnaturalized aliens in the enumeration of popula- | tion to determine congressional or electoral representation, thus placing control of the Government of the cous try in the hands of its own citizens. The board also recommended that the Boards of Temperance and Social Service of the various Methodist con- ferences, divisional units of the church, arrange for “an impressive meeting on the question of observance, enforcement and maintenance of prohibition laws.” ‘These should be held, the recom- mendation sald, in order “to combat propaganda of the wet metrcpolitan press and increasing antagonism by supporters of the liquor traffic against | the eighteenth amendment.” | —_— A Two-Horse Town.
