The article presents an overview of the June 11, 1930 issue of "The Nation." The wets are plunging with renewed confidence into their fight to alter the Volstead law, or even to amend the U.S. Constitution and do away with prohibition, is obvious. The New York World, for example, is every day putting on the first page the latest wet recruits who were formerly drys. Thus, a city magistrate, Judge Jean Norris, Miss Katharine Bement Davis, former commissioner of correction in the metropolis, Adolph Lewisohn, the philanthropist, together with the head of a social settlement and various others, are heralded to fresh fame because they have abandoned the prohibition cause.
