(Christian Science Monitor)
It is political and personal plans and differences multiplied many, many times in and out of Congress, that confront the President in his program for strengthening the Federal dry law enforcement machinery and giving new impetus to that of the States.
These obstacles, his aides and friends say, while they make his task more difficult will not swerve him from his basic purpose.
Important progress has already been effected, it is pointed out. There is an unquestionable marked tightening of lines in governmental administration, not alone in prohibition enforcement but on all laws. The President is just getting his policies into their stride; such things are not done overnight in public affairs and leadership.
It takes time and patience and resourcefulness.
That there is the will and the sincere purpose to enhance and strengthen law, and particularly dry law enforcement in the country on the part of the Hoover government, there can be no doubt.
The best evidence of this is that in the current debate the issue is not one between wet and dry proponents over the merits of prohibition, but between dry leaders and administrators over the ways and means for making more effective the enforcement of the law.
