Abolish Army Canteens Debate Opens On Canteen Law
A Philadelphia led delegation from the National Temperance Society and allied groups urged President to reconsider the Attorney General interpretation of the army canteen act. They contend Congress aimed at total prohibition of liquor sales to soldiers and officers, urging a new ruling and rehearing. The group cited War Department inquiries and praised Army officers for strong opposition to the AG’s view. The President reportedly said he would review the matter and rectify any error if found.
