Funds Needed

To enable him as the executive arm of the Government to uphold the Constitution, specifically that short passage* of it known as the 18th Amendment, the President sent a message to the House demanding $3,000,000 in addition to the $21,000,000 which the House has already appropriated for prohibition enforcement during the coming year. This new money is for new activities under General Lincoln C. Andrews.
