Volstead Law Debate Aims to Preserve Prohibition
Oskaloosa Iowa October 26 Mrs Ida B Wis Smith state president of the W T U L warns that modifying the Volstead act to permit beer and light wines would revive the saloon with its evils. She cites past Iowa laws and cites states where such amendments were defeated. She lauds prohibition as a success, noting declines in open saloon, public drinking and illicit trade while noting the rise of cigarettes and jazz age social changes. She urges stronger parental and school safeguards to protect youth. She reviews growth of the W C L W U while stressing moral welfare.
