L-ittle .as Bad 35 Bit; Man. \Va?hinjftor. Nov. 21.?President Coolidpe ha> done what th? AntiSalooi League wanted h:m to do, namely, publicly repudiate the impression given by the statements of United States Attorney Buoknor of the southern district of Xew York state, who indicated that trivial violation of the Volstead law would not be prosecuted. "It's a ease in which everybody is in accord, including Mr. Buckner as to what the facts are. hut the disagreement arises in trying t Wayne B Wheeler, counsel for the Anti-Saloon League, pointed out to Mr. Cool id Re. enforcement is enforcement, and nothing else. The -mail offenders are jus' as much violators of the law as the big bootlegger-. Mr. Wheeler was afraid that Mr. RueknerV ideas would be understood as condoning violations, in fact stimulating it. That- why he thought it important enough to carry tin mat tor ?? the Whit* House at once. Htold the President that everything tbat Mr. Buckner might say about th? crowded conditions of the court* and the failure of New York State ?i? pass an enforcement act of its own similar t.? other states so as 10 take care of trivia! offenses might till he true but it would he a tactless thing to rHl the public about it. AWKWARD PROBLEM New Yoik State presents ail aw k i i r . I. ^...1 1 warn nrimicni mr im* icuvrui .uunoritie> anyhow. The department of justice wants to do all it can to enforce the law. rigidly and yet the Anti-Saloon League wants even more than that done for the simple reason that thi- league feels public de- \ nunciation of law violation is almost is important as actual prosecution. If the Anti-Saioon League had its way. the army and navy would be used to clean up law violations. The department of justice and President Ooolidge are not ready tv> take such a drastic view of the situation, tho it is frankly admitted in private that the federal machinery is not big enough to squelch bootlegging and tire petty violations too. Mr. Coolidge is taking the position that it never was contemplated even by the most ardent advocates of prohibition that the federal government should do the whole job, and that the Eighteenth Amendment with its famous phraseology about concurrent jurisdiction was intended to make the task one of absolute cooperation between the federal authorities and the several states. But even 111 some stats where laws to supplement federal statutes 'iave been passed the disposition is i.o "pass tht buck" to the federal government. Meanwhile the critics of the Volstead art are deriving considerable comfort out of the federal government's embarrassment, for if a United States attorney in a city like New York confesses what has been known to be federal policy, namely Ltj sidetrack the petty cases, then it is a sign of weakness. The Anti-Saloon League doesn't like to see a fed era! officer like Mr. Buckner. on the other hand, advertise a weakness, i He must threaten to punish everybody not merely for buying a drink i but tor carrying a flask or other con tainer?the hope being that sucl public threes will scare the public 1 generally into greater obedience t< - the law.
