ator Bruce de-
clared in open-
in g t h g c e s e
for the wets at
public hearings
before a Senate
judiciary sub-
committee.
“The Vol-
etead act.“ he said. "has plseed hu.
nun happiness in more than one
Vital particular under the irritating
and harasing domination of a sour.
corrosive and narrow minded Puri-
tanlsm. which does not hesitate to
avow its enmity even to such inno-
cent recreations as smoking and
dancing.
"It has for the first time brought
the church deeply into politics.
"It has established a settled corn-
merce between the worthler and the
unworthiest members of the com-
munity.
“It has created an underworld al-
most as thoroughly organized as the
respectable world above it.
"It is responsible for the unpre-
cedented phenomenon of thousands
and thousands of reputable men and
women. including administrators of
the law itself. living in hatibual dis-
regard of constitution and law.
“It has tended to bring all laws.
including itself. into more or less
disrespect.
“It has tranferred distl int; and
brewing operations from tho distil-
lery and brewery to the home.
“It has displaced the temperate.
refreshing glass of beer with the
fiery pocket itself.
"It has fostered deceit. perfldy.
espionage and tyranny in some of
their meanest and most hasteful as-
pects.
"It has lowered the prestige of
the Federal Government."
Federal Service lit-filed
Asserting that "Worst of all is the
extent to wh‘ch the Federal service
has been dellled oy corruption
hatched by it." he presented figures
on the number of men dismissed
from the Federal enforcement unit
for corruption; pointed to convic-
tions that even the Coast Guard.
"that nursing mother of bravosnd
devoted men." had failed to escape
"the contamination of prohibition."
"Last year it took two Pullman
cars to transfer to Atlanta the con~
victcd policemen and prohibition
agents cormlled in it single roundup
in Ohio." the Senator added.
"in May. 1925. a special grand
Jury in Morris County. N. J.. was
reported in the press as returning
at one time twenty-eight indict-
ments against county officers and
others for violation of the Volstcad
act."
Senator Bruce marshalled omctal
statistics to show the increasing,
number of violations of the prohibi-
tion laws each year. These showed
that arrests by Federal officers had
mounted from 34.175 in 1921 to
62.747 in 1925. while reports from
police chiefs in twelve ities rec-
orded in almost every instance a
steadily mounting number of per-
sons arrested for drunkenness from
year to year.
Disagreelng with those who can
tend that the l eral Government
had not sought to enforce the law
effectively, he declared that "never
in the history of free institutions
has any Government more pertl
naciously sought to . 'ry out . pol-
icy obnoxious to a powerful popu
lar sentiment than has the Federal
Government in its relations to tho
Volstead act.”

"I unhesitntingly contend that

"The time has arrived for Con-

Boer Bill Is Constitutional
"The bill introduced by -me and
referring to alcoholic content amends
the Volsicad not by substituting the
words ‘non-lntoxlcating in fact' for
the present limitation of under one-
half of l per cent. In other words,
it copies and asserts the very words

Referring to recent court decisions
that wines and elders manufactured
in the home must be "intoxicating

"Remembt‘r beers and tiles are.

one-half of one per cent alcohol. and
many convictions have been obtain-

"The farmer with his grapes or

industrial worker with his beer can
go to Jail."

Breathing Spaces for
Future Is Problem.
London. like New York and other
rapidly growing cities. is grappling
with the problem of city planning
for the future. The great difficulty
here is to provide parks and open
spaces for future generations.
In discussing the London of 2026
A. D.. G. Tophani Forrest. chief
architect of the London County
Council. points out that the London
of 100 years ago is now Central
Landon. In 1800 the distance from
the center of the city to open coun-
try was about mo miles; now it is
from six to eight miles.
To provide breathing spaces for
the future millions. Mr. Forrest sug-
gests definite areas tor the resid-
ences and others for factories. with
a ring of parks around the inner
metropolitan area. He Id\0(111lt‘3 the
utilisation of the old Regent‘s canal
which many Londoners hardly know
exists. for a boulevard linking up the
existing parks. The fenced squares
which are characteristic of London
should be made available to the
public at once. he says, instead of
being kept locked up for the priiuie
use of the people who llie around
them.
The architect's plan includes a
new lay-out of the Western part of
inner London. with Buckingham
palace as the. center. 'l‘lm-e new
bridge across the Thames would he
nordc to bundle the incronsr'd
traffic to the south.
