Considers Plan of Debating Council To Be Utterly Worthless

"I don't see how, even with the Volstead Act repealed, the states could properly regulate the sale of admittedly intoxicating beverages; when the amendment, which your plan leaves untouched, forbids the manufacture and sale of such beverages. The only solution is to repeal the amendment and the Volstead Act both, which I am confident will be done. I have kept calm through the whole agitation and get a lot of amusement out of the rows in the newspapers because I consider the question as having been settled before it arose."
