Taft Opposes Amending Volstead Act Says No Light Wines

He calls for enforcement, cautions against loopholes, and insists prohibition should be upheld in good faith despite calls for moderation. The piece also covers a Michigan Supreme Court ruling on death by own action, upheld as murder in the first degree.
