Roy C. Fox letter to Senator Wesley Jones regarding the status of prohibition in Washington State, May 29, 1930
No full textRoy C. Fox of the Office of the United States Attorney writes to Washington State Senator Wesley Jones to discuss the status of prohibition in Washington State after a State Republican Convention in Bellingham voted to repeal the Eighteenth Amendment. Fox references an article from the Spokane Press in which they had written that Jones would be supporting the repeal. Fox writes that he knows Jones will remain in favor of prohibition. He also writes that he has good friends who convinced others to support the repeal of prohibition "hood-winking and steam-rollering" at the convention. He writes that "these men have always been dripping wet and I know for a certainty that every one of them worked vigorously against you in the last election." Fox also compliments Jones on standing by the President on many other issues.Prohibition in the United States was ratified under the 18th Amendment in 1919 and officially established in 1920, making the transport, sale, and production of alcohol illegal. The National Prohibition Act, commonly referred to as the Volstead Act, was subsequently passed to establish methods of enforcing the law. Washington State passed a statewide prohibition law in 1914, then became the 22nd state to ratify the national bill in 1919. Prohibition became hugely popular due to the efforts of organizations such as the Prohibition Party, Anti-Saloon League, and the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, who championed the movement on health and moral grounds. Due to the inefficient enforcement of the law and increasing crime rates from black market sales of alcohol the 18th Amendment was repealed in 1933 with the passing of the 21st Amendment.
Wesley Livsey Jones was a Republican Senator from Washington State, serving from 1909 to 1932. During his time in the Senate, Jones championed federal investment in the Pacific Northwest while serving as Republican whip and a chairman of the Appropriations and Commerce Committees. Jones was a strong proponent of Prohibition, even attempting to pass legislation to strengthen its enforcement. As Prohibition’s popularity waned in the late 1920s, Jones’s stance appeared outdated and old-fashioned. He lost the 1932 Senate election and died shortly after
United They Fall: Why the International Community Should Not Promote Military Integration after Civil War
No full textThe single strongest predictor of civil war is a nation having had one in the past, and preventing the recurrence of civil war has thus become the critical problem for both scholarship and policy. The conventional wisdom urges the creation of capable, legitimate, and inclusive postwar states to reduce the risk of relapse into civil war, and international peacebuilders have often encouraged the formation of a new national army including members of the war’s opposing sides. However, military integration has received little theoretical or empirical attention. Filling that gap, we argue that both the theoretical logics and the empirical record identifying military integration as a significant contributor to durable post-civil war peace are weak. Our analysis of eleven cases finds little evidence that military integration played a substantial causal role in preventing the return to civil war and little support for the likely causal mechanisms. Military integration does not usually send a costly signal of the parties’ commitment to peace, provide communal security, employ many possible spoilers, or act as a powerful symbol of a unified nation. We conclude that it is both unwise and unethical for the international community to press military integration on reluctant local forces.Based in part on a larger collective project: Roy Licklider (Ed.).
