Prohibition Enforcement Debate Across Regions
The press agent for the Woman's National Committee for Law Enforcement warns that the greatest danger to prohibition comes from the Eastern and Middle Atlantic States due to diverse populations and wealth. He argues federal enforcement is the main issue, not a single group or region, noting alcohol can be obtained across borders and manufactured nationwide. Edward Howe cites Kansas as a case where national prohibition did not dry the state, but rather made it wetter, and laments the demoralization of enforcement officials and widespread white mule whisky. He asserts the federal government must enforce the law as rigorously as other federal statutes.
