HAYNES PROTESTS AGAINST THE APATHETIC CITIZEN (Hv The Associated Press.) COI.I'MIU S. O., Feb. 1". Th. apathetic citizen'' and tic ' lethargic public official" are two of the outstand ing difficulties standing in the way of better enforcement ot prohibition laws. Major 'Roy A. Hayncs, national pmhihi tion commissioner, declaird in ar, addri ss here today at the State Dry Law l.u forcemeat 'onvent ion. "1 do not das these apathetic ciliins and lethargic officials with the lawless.'' Mayor llaynes said, "but I cannot disso ciate them from my problem ol law en forcement. I know there is no form of. lawlessness, no matter how deeply in trenched, financially, po. ideally, or so cially, that can stand bi our country, a gainst the awakened public cms. h n e. ' ' There are thirty paid organizations, he said, striving day and night to'-aieom plia.h the impossible feat of can-nig the repeal of the sth amendment.'' Drinking among young people and in society, Mr. Hay lies declared, must be regarded as a national fad or craze, and not a permanently entrenched custom. "It would be just as logical,'' he eon tinned, "to charge the clime Vive t . woman's suffrage, as the prohibition niendini'Ut. That is a worl I condi'b.e, and in America we find the reflex. The fact show that the total, known imp'.r tation during the last fiscal year was i. in half of one per cent of the total con sumption of liquor in the I'nite.l States the year Ix fore prohibition. "To the propaganda that prohibition is not proving successful it is only m - sary to say that prohibition mtorce ment is going forward as rapid y as any, sane, reasonable prohibitionist has th3 rigid to expect. "A year ago. a large proportion of the ' bct citizens'' of many of the citiey were s) violent!.', prejudice. 1 tna! they wire in effect accessories to crime. To day, the best citizenship, even in these great cities, is coming to recognie that any law must ! enforced, and that any policy adopted by the American nation is entitled to a fair trial on its merits."
