Sirs: The most valid and puissant argument that I have knowledge of, for the retention of the 18th amendment in our constitution was that advanced by the Hon. Jack Bradford, prominent lawyer and planter of Itta Bena, Miss, (a so-called arid State) in a speech yesterday delivered on the Jones Fedric Plantation at the annual squirrel stew. Guests were the important cotton planters of this Mississippi Delta section. Applause was gusty. For the information of your readers, I quote the speech [in part]: ". . .

The United States would go closer toward a real understanding with Japan by a frank examination of conscience in regard to its own actions, especially the stupid and unnecessary Exclusion Act, than by any trite...
Doubtless fear of those tactless persons who haunt professors' teas and refer to instructors as "Ted" and "Jack" is sufficient ground for the seclusion in which many members of the faculty envelop themselves; the press of important work also furnishes a ready and valid excuse. But when graduates tell fondly of their familiarity with Dean Briggs, and students respect scholars like Professor Copeland the more for the interest which they take in their students, there can be no hesitation in saying that "contacts" are a major part of an education. Facts are soon forgotten, but men and their ideals...
