The six reasons Dr. McBride gave were that prohibition is an answer to & problem and not a question, that it makes prevention rather than cure the principle in the struggle for national sobriety, because the people are back of it, because it is succeeding, be- ocause the return of liquor means the return of the saloon, and because na- tional prohibition is inherently right, both scientifically and economically. The liquor interests are not afraid today because of any failure of prohi- bition, Dr. McBride asserted, ‘but be- cause prohibition is a success. The return of liquor means the return of the saloon,” he said. “There has never been any legislation that will close the .”" He explained this by saying that the eighteenth amendment legis- lates af t the sale of intoxicating liquor, and he added that the return of any system which permits the sale of liquor means the return of the saloon a8 a matter of course. Approximately 4,000 persons heard Dr. McBride'’s address. Dry Continuance Urged. Strong resolutions urging continuance of national prohibition and advocating world peace were adopted by the con- vention its closing business session in the afternoon.

An appeal to Christianize the com- munity was sounded last night by Prof. Alva Taylor of Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn. “The tides of propa- are running against us just now,” . Taylor said. Speaking of prohi- bition, he said the* law has not been ly enforced, but the transfer to the law department of the Government better enforcement. “But en- Jorcement can never become adequate PROMINENT THE SUNDAY 8 IN YOUTH' A SESSIONS Young people of Vermont Avenue Church attending Disciples’ convention.

The $8,000,000 pension fund for superannuated pastors, one of the most important matters before the conven- tion, was given a final impetus at seven luncheon conferences yesterday, l:tended by approximately 5,000 peo- ple. ‘Trustees of the fund addressed the meetings explaining the necessity of thorough organization and concerted action beginning November 9 to put the big drive across. All those attend- ing the conferences were the workers who will be engaged in actually carry- inging on the campaign.

The . rotherhood called upon the “sincere opponents” of the eighteenth amend- | ment to “cease lending aid and com- fort to criminals and join with us to, secure a fair, impartial and effective | enforcement of the law.” “Refusal to | do this,” the convention said, will e~ sult inevitably in the conviction that they do not want the law enforced and that their ition is more to the principle involved than the method ! adopted.” . President Hoover Commended. ! ‘The convention commended President Hoover for his “plainspoken support” of | the prohibition laws, and touched upon the political implication suggested by their advocacy of enforcement in a con- cluding paragraph. “While we recognize the principle of the preparation of church and s‘ate,” the convention said, “we still have duties as citizens in our individual capacities. We, therefore, call upon all our members to exercise | their rights of suffrage in every legally | binding election for the support of such | candidates for public office as are pledged to the maintenance, support and enforcement of the law, and to op- | poss all referenda not legally binding | an. earefully to abstain from participa- tion therein.” In its expression on world peace, the ‘biotherhood said it accepted the London treaty “as a beginning in the reduction of armaments,” and appealed for a “de- | termined effort to secure further reduc- uonwby international agreement.” We R.
