DRY OFFICIAL HITS BUTLER RUM PLAN Anti-Saloon League Attorney Terms Liquor Licensing Impractical. “The proposal by Dr, Nicholas Mur- ray Butler to solve the drink problem by repealing the eighteenth amendment and providing for the sale of liquor through a system of Government regu- lated dispensaries is as futile and hope- Jess as it is inconsistent and imprac- tical.” declared a statement issued to- day by Edward B. Dunford, attorney for the Anti-Saloon League of America. His statement continued: “While Dr. Butler declares, ‘It is es- gential to the success of any plan for State liquor traffic control that the eighteenth amendment be uncondition- ally repealed,’ those interested in the prevention of the effects of alcoholism are not concerned with the success of any plan for a State liquor traffic. Believe Alcohol Poison. “They believe that alcohol is a nar- cotic poison and a habit-forming drug, and that no unit of government, State | or National, has any moral right to li- | cense its sale or encourage its con- sumption. “If more time were expended in pub- lic education upon the true nature of alcoholic beverages there would be less law violation and little occasion for dis- cussion of the question of the repeal of the_eighteenth amendment. “Even if Dr. Butler's plan were ideal, what guaranty can he or any one else who favors the repeal of the eight- eenth amendment furnish that NewJ York or any other State would enact his so-called liquor control plan? “Dr. Butler says that Congress in its authority over interstate commerce Ponesses the necessary power to regu- ate traffic in intoxicating liquor, and no State will need any protection which it is not now within the power of Con- gress to give. “One of the reasons why the eight- eenth amendment was adopted was be- cause of the violation of the prohibi- tory laws by liquor dealers in wet States through the channels of interstate com- merce. Failed in South Carolina. “State-controlled dispensaries were tried in South Carolina and failed, both under the plan of State and local con- trol. Dr. Butler's plan, furthermore, 15 concerned only with the exclusion of private profit from the moment the Jiquor comes into the possession of the State liquor traffic authority. It mani- fests no concern whatsoever about the profits which may be derived by the brewers, distillers and others who manu- facture the liquor sold in such States, Whether bootlegged or otherwise. “To have any measure of success the | Butler plan would require a system of licensing drinkers by having them ob- tain a permit to purchase from some governmental agency. Such a paternal- | istic system is discriminatory and un- American. Some citizens could lawfully buy, others would be denied the right. Prohibition applies to all alike. “The proposal that no liquor shall be consumed on the premises where sold is worthless as a police regulation. It is not the place, but the liquor sold and consumed that produces the public and social evils.” — NEAR DEATH IN HOLD-UP Victim in Critical Condition as Re- sult of Beating.
