If the House wants to take the position that the United States Government will use its premises for the sale of beer. you have presented by this amendment the opportunity to make that declaration. If that is your position. vote for the amendment. if not. vote against it. I am ready to go on record upon the proposition that the United States Government does not want to engage either directly or indirectly. by the use of its premises or otherwise. in the sale of beer. leaving its regulation to William Williams or any other man who happens to be Commissioner of Immigration. That is all there is to the question. and I hope the amendment will be voted down. and that the amendment offered by the gentleman from Kansas . notwithstanding he comes from the State of Carrie Nation. as the chairman of the committee sneeringly said. will be adopted by the House. It does not involve any great controversy.
