§ ! hs 14 WINNETKA TALK October 31, 1925 FORUM OPENS SUNDAY North Shore Art League Prohibition is First Subject of Dis- cussion Before Newly Formed Civic Enterprise for Greater Chicago A prominent Chicago "wet" and an equally prominent Chicago "dry" will take up the cudgels for and against prohibition at the first nonpartisan in- quest on the 18th amendment to be held in Chicago, Sunday afternoon, November 1, at the Apollo theatre, it was announced this week by Fred At- kins Moore, director of the Chicago Forum council, which opens its first season with a meeting on the theme "Can Prohibition Succeed?" F. Ernest Johnson, research secre- tary of the Federal Council of Churches, whose impartial report on the prohibition situation created a sen- sation when it was made public re- cently, will open the meeting with a statement of the six year experience of the United States with prohibition and a forecast of American policy on the liquor question. Himself a dry of long standing, Mr. Johnson feels that neither the wets nor the drys have faced the facts about the 18th amendment and his report on prohibition was disconcerting to many who have pronounced opinions on the question. Rev. Dr. Clarence True Wilson, secretary of the board of tem- perance, prohibition and public morals of the Methodist Episcopal church de- manded that the Federal Council of Churches repudiate the Johnson report in a recent address before the Rock River conference of the demoninafion to which both Mr. Johnson and Dr. Wilson belong but the council after much discussion sustained Mr. John- son who has conducted many re- searches for the Protestant churches into social and economic questions. Council is Neutral "The Chicago Forum Council, which is bringing Mr. Johnson to Chicago, is neither for nor against prohibition as a national policy," Mr. Moore ex- plained. "We have in our membership men and women of differing shades of opinion and differing social views and our sole interest is to make avail- able to the citizens of greater Chicago. facts about questions of vital interest on the basis of which they can form their own judgements. Prohibition is one of the most discussed questions of the hour and there is such a diversity of testimony as to the facts about the operation of the 18th amendment that the civic leaders on our council thought it wise to open a winter's dis- cussion of current issues with a searching analysis of the liquor ques- tion. S. J. Duncan-Clark of Wilmette and Mrs. B. F. Langworthy and Harold L. Ickes of Winnetka are members of the Forum council board of direc- tors. a as a...
