Church committee rejects popular referendum on Prohibition
Atlantic City May 3. A Methodism committee on temperance and public morals urged the general conference to reject a national referendum on the eighteenth amendment. It argued there is no federal constitutional authority for such a referendum and a constitutional amendment would be required to grant it legal weight. The panel noted referendums cannot settle prohibition merits and recommended against counting referendum methods in changing prohibition law.
