SAYS LIQUOR BUYS IMMUNITY Also Hits Haynes* Department and Politics for Nonobservance--No /•^^teal Effort Yet Made 8uppress Traffle. /t ^ Washington.--Gifford Pinchot, governor of Pennsylvania, charged the federal prohibition service and had politics with the responsibility for failure to enforce the Eighteenth amendment.

The problem of enforcement, said Governor Pinchot, cannot be met unless the federal government does its part. Politics, he asserted, is chiefly responsible for the "black disgrace" of defiance of .the law. In state after state, he declared, the bills of domaant party--Democratic or Republican-- were paid for years by the lquor interests. "It is idle to suggest that the law ;annot be enforced," t declared the governor. "That the government of the United States, the most powerful nation on earth, with the people overwhelmingly behind it, is powerless before a few thousand, or a few .hundred thousand of assorted lawbreakers, Is simply unthinkable. The fact is we have never really tried. The essential reason why bootlegging and defiance of law by the liquor people is Increasing is because this particular nettle has never been grasped with a strong hand. The thing that has protected the liquor criminal from the law is politics. Politics first, . law enforcement a poor second, has been the order. Bad whisky, with beer to help, has supplied the sinews of war for. bad politics, and politics has returned this favor."
