SHOUSE HITS DRYS INCALIFORNIA TALK Grape Industry Held Victim of Insincere and Tortuous. Expedient. By the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, April 16.—A series of questions centering around the wine industry was addressed last night to a California audience by Chairman_Shouse of the Democratic National Executive Committee. his first_mention of prohibition during a speaking tour of the West, described as opening the 1932 Demo- cratic presidential campaign, Shouse asked the Californians if they were satisfied with existing conditions. Addressing a dinner at the Elks’ Club, under auspices of the Democratic Club | of California and the San Francisco County Central Committee, Shouse said: “This is neither the time mnor the | occasion, perhaps, to bring prohibition | into the discussion, but I ask you as self-respecting men and women if you are satisfied with existing conditions? How do vou like the state of affairs in your great wine industry? Great Industry Founded. 1t is true that by a subterfuge you are permitted a limited market for the products of your vineyards. Your fathers founded a great industry. You were gaining the markets of the world for California wines. There were no better people in the world, no more industrious, public-spirited and enter- prising folks than vour vineyardists. ‘How do you, who respect their mem- ories, feel ‘at having their activities made criminal? How do you. in carry- ing out their work, enjoy being placed in a position of accepting as a political favor a limping. insincere, tortuous &nd | troubled expedient in lieu of your moral right?" ‘The attitude of Prohibition Director | Woodcock toward the makers of grape | concentrates fermentable into wine was reiterated last Monday at Washington. He served notice they would be prose- cuted whenever it could be proved their gemdllrt was sold with “intent” that it come “intoxicating in fact.” President Ts Criticized. The remainder of Shouse's sneech was | devoted to criticism of the acministra- tion of President Hoover, a Californian, and to predicting a Democratic victory in 1932. “The policy of evasion. vacillation, subterfuge and double-shuffling is what has reduced the administration at Washington to its present low ebb_in popular esteem.” Shouse said. “It is be- cause of the ineptness. cowardice and general Jack of leadershin that you saw last year the averwhelming Republican majorities in the Senate and House of | Representatives disappear.” | | | ARLINGTON BOY SCOUTS TO COMPETE SATURDAY First-Aid Contest Will Be Held at Washington-Lee School. 12 Teams Entered.
