PICKARD ProRIBITIicN laws and their en- forcement were to the fore at the opening session of the fifty-third an- nual meeting of the American Bar as- goclation In Chicago. George W. Wick- ersham, chairman of the President's enforcement commission, was the chief speaker of the day, and naturally he spoke mainly on that topic; but what small consolation to the dripping wets of the country. “Good citizenship,” said Mr. Wicker- sham, it is, being. A which the inventions and applied science of the last quarter of a century and has taken into its midst millions of aliens from every country in the world, must resort to legisla- tion in order to regulate its life, pre- gerve order, and, so far as possible, suppress acts and habits injurious to its welfare. “That the Individual and minority groups must accept and abide by the restraints so Imposed is obvious. Oth. erwise lawful government breaks down and we have anarchy. The remedy of those who object Is to appeal to the same authority as that which enacts, for rescission or modification. There can be no individual right to elect what laws one will or will not obey.” The commission, said its chairman, had opposed the Jones law and the Dyer act, “that a speedy prosecution of minor offenses and the imposition of penalties having some relation to the character of the offense to induce respect he said would give law as society “must acquiesce in the for the e time has adopted believing would be more likely for law than the creation of penalties so disproportioned to the gravity of the offense as to induce resentment in reasonable minds.” None exciting than any speeches was the battle over an attempt by some of the members of the asso- ciation to halt the referendum vote on the Eighteenth amendment. Secretary W. P. MacCracken, Jr., reported that the executive committee had rejected a petition to recall the postcards sent out for this vote. Judge James F. Ailshie of Idaho offered a resolution that the submitting of the question was not In accord with the objects and purpose of the association and contrary to Its constitution and by laws, after the committee's report had Been accepted. President Henry U, Sims sustained a point of order that the right of the executive committee to take such action was specifically granted in the constitution and ruled that the action of the committee could not be recalled by the delegates. An appeal from this decision was voted down by a majority of about fifty to one, The convention also upheld the ex. ecutive committee in rejecting the re. port of the American citizenship com- mittee which contained a bitter attack of the federal farm board, declaring its appointment was the first step to- ward state socialism and that this ef- fort to ald the farmers was fore doomed to fallure. The section on criminal law and criminology also re. fused to adopt a report on “lawless enforcement of law” and ordered the committee to continue work for ‘anoth- er year. In his opening address . President Sims asserted that constitutional lib. erty In this country is in no danger whatever, “and that the visions of so. cial strife supposed to he impending are but plantasmagoria of morbid brains” The sessions of the association were attended by a number of distin. guished lawyers and jurists from for. eign eountries, and many American potahles were among the 2,000 dele. gates, (CG ERunoLs ruins fell over much of the corn and wheat belts, but they were too late to save the crops from at lcnct partial ruin, and the plans of the government and the states for relief of the farmers in the drought areas were not halted. Pres- ident Hoover appointed a federal re. lief committee, headed by Secretary of Agriculture Hyde and including Chairmen Alexander Legge of the fed- eral farm board; Paul Bestor, chalr- man of the federal farm loan board; Roy Young, chairman of the federal reserve board; John Barton Payne, chairman of the American Red Cross: Under-secretary of the Treasury Og- den Mills; Henry M.

Nearly every promi- nent American aviator was there, and so were some of the best flyers of Eu- rope. A varied program of speed con- tests, stunt flying, and other ex hibitions was offered the immense throng of spectators that flocked to Chicago from all parts of the Union. Before the races began, the first na- tional air conference was held for three days on the downtown campus of Northwestern university, with the nation’s chief authorities on aeronau- ties in attendance. The conference recommended the adoption by the states of federal laws regulating alr. ports, airplanes and air transportation, in order to secure uniformity. The states also were urged to authorize municipalities to purchase, maintain and police airports, The conference recommended the establishment of a comprehensive sys tem of national airways, giving equal consideration to all sections without regard to population density, but giv. ing greatest consideration where topo- graphical conditions are unfavorable to flying.
