Wickersham Committee Faces Extended Timeline
The Wickersham Commission may require another year or two to finish its study of American law enforcement and prohibition.

Opponents warn delays could skew the 1921 to 1932 campaign cycle and affect the commission’s final report. The key recommenda tion under review is shifting prohibition enforcement from Treasury to the Department of Justice.
