Hoover on racketeering and Capone critique
The New York World argues Hoover’s stance on suppressing racketeering hinges on enforceable laws by states and locals. It highlights Capone’s Chicago liquor empire, noting prohibition’s impact, bribery, and violence, and questions how to curb such crime without undermining lawful outlets or enforcement.
Meaning of law enforcement in the United States
The piece argues that public perception of law enforcement is tied to Prohibition and the Volstead Act. It warns that repealing prohibition won’t end all illegal rackets, but would uproot the main power of organized crime, reducing the liquor trade’s influence over politics and public order. It stresses that illicit liquor supports crime, undermines government authority, and that repeal weakens lawlessness.
