By the Associated Press. Washington, Dec. 19.—General encouragement as to the prospects of solving present prohibition problems through closer cooperation between federal and state authorities and an earnest appeal for reverence of the law were the effects of the address by President Harding to the 14 governors yesterday. There appeared to be unanimous opinion that the way to improvement in the enforcement situation does not lie in relaxation of the efforts to break up the liquor traffic. More severe fines and prison sentences for violation of the law, the conference said, if held, would assist prohibition officials in their work, while more careful selection of prohibition personnel and the education of the people to the importance of law enforcement.
