Abstract

Prohibition, Mr. Mussey, and Our Readers
Yarros, Victor S. | January 2, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents correspondences received from readers of the periodical "The Nation" on the letter of Henry Raymond Mussey on Prohibition and Citizenship. The letter was published in the issue of December 12. Mussey sings hosannas to Horace D. Taft because Horace D. Taft has sung hosannas to the Anti-Saloon League. The statement contained in Mussey's letter of November 19 to the effect that the Eighteenth Amendment can never in all probability be repealed is undoubtedly true. Not only are church and synagogue members permitted to drink wine under the Volstead law, without sanction of anything to be found in the Eighteenth Amendment, but doctors may prescribe whiskey and alcohol.
