Hoover Commission to study prohibition enforcement aims

In Washington on May 29 the debate over how far President Hoover’s new prohibition commission should probe enforcement begins. Prohibitionists and anti prohibitionists want the panel to examine weaknesses in the law and enforcement methods, while some focus on feasibility. Bishop James Cannon Jr and others urge a broad inquiry into making enforcement more effective, while some professional drys seek to keep the Volstead Act intact. President Hoover will meet with commission members to set its course, with expectations he may avoid endorsing the Volstead Act while endorsing a constructive evaluation. Cannon emphasizes whether enforcement gaps exist, not whether prohibition should end. The general belief is Hoover will guide the inquiry toward practical improvements.
