C. T. U. IS - FI-GNINC TOBACCO Association Opposed to National Pro hibition Makes Rep't TELLS OF WAR ON NICOTINE Says W. C. T. U. Hopes to Have Con gress Submit Constitutional Amendment. New York, Aug. 2.-After a twvo months' inquiry conducted in this city Chicago, San Francisco and elsewvhere to dJetermine whether there was a concerted campaign to bar the use of tobacco now that liquor has gone b~y the board, the Association olpposedl to National Prohibition :ssuedl a state ment here today charging that the Women's Ch ristian Temperance Unign was backing a movement to have anti nicotine laws enacted in every state in the Union. The W. C. Tr. U. will celebrate its fiftieth anniversary five years hence and~ that organization is hopeful of 'having Congress submit a constitu.. tional amendment before March 20, 1924l, its semi-centennial, forbidding the cultivation, sale, use or export of the wveedl for smoking or chewing purp~oses, the statement charged. To Crush Nicotine. The $5,000,00 dIrive begun last March by the White Ribboners, it is alleged, has for its object the crush ing of demon nicotine and to this end the anti-prohibitionists say $300,000 will be expendled ostenelbly on "child welfare,'' ''health andl morality,"' "edl uention andl information'' and other prop~agandla methods by means of' the ch a*rches and public schools. The Association opplosedl to National P'rohibition further charged the W. C. TP. U. with plantning to finance its campaign against nicotine without appealing directly for funds or nam ing the purposes for which the money is to be Iepeded. In s'pport of this it asserts that alreadly, ''in the guise of public school recitation books. which flagrantly violate the sancity of home andl final devotion," fathers who use tobacco are portralyedl as "filthy and~ unfit for children caresses."
