Arraign Elder Wilson Over War Time Prohibition Plea
St Louis May 21 President Wilson, an elder in the Presbyterian church, was arraigned by commissioners of the 131st General Assembly on a plea to repeal or amend the wartime prohibition act. A resolution urged Congress to sustain the law and be enforced fully to meet world food needs while preserving national morale. The assembly applauded the resolution and heard criticism from church leaders. The temperance report urged world prohibition and tighter enforcement, condemning liquor interests and foreign operations, and urged disqualification of citizens in foreign ventures contravening U.S. law. Cigarette use among women spurred calls for legislation. the report notes 40 billion cigarettes, costing $400 million, would circle the earth six times if laid end to end.
