WAR PROHIBITION
ACT DECIDED VALID
SUPREME COURT, VOTING AS A

BITION LAW
REVERSE WETS’ CONTENTION
Court Did Not Act On Validity Of
Volstead Prohibition Enforce¬
ment Act
Washington. —By unanimous deck
sion, constitutionality of the war-time
prohibition act was sustained by tie
Supreme court. The opinion, given
by Associate Justice Brandies, held
in effect, however, that the war-tar
voked “dry” period still may be ter¬
minated by presidential proclam:.!.on
of demobilization. In rendering its
opinion, the court, however, did no*
act on the validity of the Volstead
prohibition enforcement act or on »!►
peals Involving the alcoholic content
of beer, leaving those cases to future
opinions. The decision practically
swept away all hope of a “wet” Christ¬
mas as the possibilities of the war¬
time act being repealed before con¬
stitutional prohibition becomes effect¬
ive one month from now were con¬
sidered remote.
The cases decided were those of the
Kentucky distilleries and warehouse
company of Louisville, and Dryfoos,
Blum & Co., of New York, Instituted
for the purpose of compelling the gov¬
ernment to release whisky from bond.
In both cases, the court denied con¬
tention of Elihu Root and other at¬
torneys for the distillers that the act
in violation of the Constitution takes
private property without Just compen¬
sation, that the period of the war
emergency for which the act was
passed, had terminated, that the law
was an interference with the state
police powers and an undue exercise
of the war powers ot congress. Con¬
gress did not intend for the war-time
act to terminate on the conclusion
ot the war, but at the end of the pe¬
riod of demobilization in the view ofi
the court which held that the “con¬
clusion of the war clearly did not
mean cessation of hostilities.”
“Congreri, therefore, provides, the
opinion added, “that the time when
the act ceased to be operative should
be fixed by the president’s ascertain¬
ing and proclaiming the date when
demobilization had terminated." Had
the president, on October 28, last,
the time when he vetoed the Volstead
act, believed that demobilization had
terminated, the court said, "he would,
doubtless, have issued then a procla¬
mation to that effect, for he had ma or,
