PROIBITION HOLDS| PARTIES' ATTENTIO W. G. McAdco Urges Advisory referendum on Question of Repeal. By the Asséclated Press. Prohibition, the unbidden guest of politics for a decace, has started for the Chicago conventions with m:tn‘ entrance tickats and a seat on thej platform. The White House togk occasion last night_to repudiate reporis that Presi- dent Hoover had approved a resubmis- sion plank for the Republican party, | bui other leaders of the party have! indicated that such a plank is receiving | approbative consideration.

His own views cn prohibition, as pronounced in 1930, he added, have not changed. At that time he said the contral of liquor| should be returned to the States, Asks for Referendum.

Dr. John Grier Hibben, retiring president of Princeton University and formerly a dry, said that, in his judgment. the Rockefeller statement “both crystallizes i hals cpinion on this subject.” rence True Wilson, long a leader among prohibitionists as execu- tive secretary of the Methodist Board of Temperance, Prchibition and Public Merals, said last night in Chicago that the statement of Rockefeller was “un- like and unworthy of him.” “Prohibition,” said Dr. Wilson, “gave | us 10 years of unbroken prasperity and ng it back.” Seuth Turns Wet.

Byrd has an- nounced a plan favoring a new con- stitutional tendment which would Dermit Congress to refer repeal or modi- fication to direct vote of the people. Adding his voice to those of other Democratic leaders on the prohibition question, former Senator James A. Reed of Missouri gave expression yesterday to a proposal that beer and wine ‘“of limited alcoholic content” be legalized by Congress as a tax-raising measure. Reed, a favorite son candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, | said Congress could legalize manufac- | ture of such bcer and wine “acting fairly within the limits of the Con- stitution.” He urged that the Demo- cratic platform avoid any prohibition | plank which might involve postponing definite action “for three or four or five | years.” | W. C. T. U. to Fight. Militant resistance to any movement | to stampede the parties- into anti-pro- hibition sentiment was evidenced by Mrs. Margaret C. Munns, national treas- urer of the W. C. T. U. She said that if necessary the drys would “walk from the poor house to the polls to vote| against a party or candidate who offers aid to the repealists.” Mrs. Munns said there evidently was “a last-minute drive of eastern million- | aires under way to threaten the Re- Ppublicans with campaign poverty unless ' the party pledges repeal.” She then asked if the Republicans “would rather have eastern millionaire dollars or widespread, devoted voting support of the 20,000,000 drys.” MOTT FAVORS VOTE.

A, and head of the In- ternational Missionary Council. told the Associated Press today that he would welcome a thorough-going reconsidera- tion of prohibition as a poliev in the United States, on certain conditions. “I am not in favor of repeal of the eighteenth amendment,” he said. “be- cause with all its limitations and cer- tain disabpointing circumstances in connection with its working, I Lelieve its good results far transcend those which have been unfavorable. “At the same time I would welcome a Natlon-wide thorough-going recon- sideration of prohibition as a policy on eration be in the form of a popular vote in the various States, In no way related to any political campaign. “Second, that it be in the form of a clear-cut expression of choice be- tween (a) the present plan of Nation- wide prohibition, and (b) a definite or concrete alternative plan. “I emphatically oppose a referendum in the form of a choice between (a) the present plan, and (b) its rejection st:s contrasted with no concrete substi- ute.” Dr. Mott is in favor of reconsideration for two reasons, he said.

C, THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 1932 THE EvunING | Former Cabinet Member Recalls Wilson Stand in 1917 in Asking for Prohibition Referendum. The text of Willlam Gibbs McAdoo's sitatement is as follows: “In 1917, when the resolution far submission to the States of what is now the cighteenth amendment to the Censtitution was on its passage through the Congress, I had an interesting con- versation with President Wilson about the matter. While it is nat incumbent upon the President to approve or dis- approve such a resoluticn, he was deep- I}y cencerned about it. “President Wilson thoughi it unwise | to incorporate the prohibition in the amendment itself. He was convinced that it would be better to give Congress | the power to regulate or to prohibit the traffic. He said: “The smendment is an attempt by law to change long-esteblished habits of a people. No one can tell, in ad- vence, how it will work. the Constitution.

I fear that the inflexible provision may, in the end. defeat the whole prohibition move- ment.’ Favored Local Option, ‘I was in full accord with President on's views. “President Wilson was a sincere ad- voca of temperance. In the early days he favored local option by com- munities. When this proved impracti- cable he favared State-wide option. “After the eighteenth amendment was ratified he said that the whole power of the Government should be put behind its enforcement. been said that he vetoed the Volstead act because he was opposed to the eighteenth amendment. This is not true. In his veto of the Volstead act he said: “‘I object to and cannot approve that part of this legislation with refer- ence to war-time prohibition. It has to do with the enforcement of an act which was passed by reason of the emergencies of the war, and whose ob- jects have been satisfied in the de- mobiligation of the Army and the Navy, and whose repeal I have _already sought at the hands of Congress.

In the cucceeding 12 years the Federal Go ernment has exhibited amazing feebie- ness in dealing with the problem. It has failed even to secure essential co- operation from some of the most im- portant States. During this period or- nized crime has grown to such pro- s that it is a serious menace to y. Constant agit: ibition has subordinated economic and social problems of first importance, and hes distracted the minds of the people from measures which migiht have ameliorated our present economic dis- tress. tion about pro- Both Parties Divided. “Each of the major political parties is hopelessly divided on this question, It is not, and should not be, a partisan issue, yet it has been persistently kept to the front in the palitical arene S:mething should be done at once to ivorce this issue from party politics; something should be done to force it into a non-partisan forum, where pub- | lic opinion may have free play and where a decision may be reached by the voters themselves—uninfluenced by other issues cr by personal candidacies for public office. “Is there any way by which a direct | vote of the people can be had upon the question as to whether or mot the eighteenth amendment should be re- pealed or as to whether or not it shculd be amended to give Congress the power to regulate or to prohibit the liquor traffic? “There is a way, and that is by a national referendum of an advi character. The Congress has, in cpinion, the power to order such a re erendum. By article 1, section 8, of tha Constitution, specific power is conferred upon the Congress ‘to provide for the general welfare of the United States. Clearly, the ‘general welfare of the United States’ would be prcmoted it Congress would provide the means for ascertaining, as a guide to its delibera- tion, the will of tne people upcn this vital issue. No right of the States would be invaded by such action, because none of the powers reserved to the States would be encroached upon. People Should Vote. “Instead of such, a popular referen- ! dum, resubmission, repeal or modifica- tion of the eighteenth amendment is urged by many. But a two-thirds vote of each branch of Congress and the ratification thereafter by three-fourths cf the States, through their Legi tures or through special conventions called for the purpose, will be required to do this, if it can be done at all. At best it will take years to complete that procedure. Meanwhile, the endless talk and futile discussion and existing de- moralizaticn will continue. Moreover, the constitutional procedure for resub- | mission or repeal of the amendment does not permit the people to vote directly upon the questicn. themselves should be given the oppor- tunity to vote through a national refer- endum authorized by act of Congress. “Suppose that a special session were called by the new President shortly after {his inauguraticn March 4, 1933, and that the President was empowered to have to be a conslderable period of preparation for a Nation-wide vote. “Second, many good men gquestion the present policy and it would be wisc to get their views.” He said he doubted that any scheme to allow the individual States to decide the issue for themselves would be prac- ticable, because alcoholic beverages would be shipped from wet States into the dry States as in the pre-prohibi- tion days.

He added that of late Mr. Rockefeller had not been of much ser- vice to the drys and then addressed himself to denfinx parts of the Rocke- feller statement, The contention that drinking is on the increase was described as “a mis- leading statement inflicted on the American people,” and he asserted that a natlonal crisis exists which calls for a_consistently dry (bnflus lvocates of prohibif heads on the whole question.’ The people | } | people want and would be in position proclaim a national advisory referen- dum, after 90 days' notice, upon some such question gs the fol'owing: “Shall tte eighteenth amendment be repealed?
