New York, July 1. While in the past ten years the United States has been attempting to enforce Prohibition by steadily increasing penalties and making virtually every Prohibition violation moving towards real temperance a potential felony, England has been

He said: "No process as of educa- This, according to Mr. George W. tlon or attempted education of the Wickersham, chairman of President public into the value of Prohibition Hoover's Commission to Investigate temperance in the community was to accomplish the maximum. of Law Enforcement, "furnishes attempted during this period. This very cogent suggesion to those charged with enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment as to better methods of attaining the object of that amendment than those which in the last decade have been pursued."

He told the Conference that a. systematic educational
