"A New Deal"

A new Dry organization came into being last week. It was called Allied Forces. Its organizer was Dr. Daniel Alfred Poling, head of the World's Christian Endeavor Union, editor of the Christian Herald and director of the J. C. Penney Foundation.

For months lay Drys have been restive under the domination of their cause by such ecclesiastical organizations as the Anti-Saloon League and the W. C. T. U. Muffled complaints were made that clerics were always in high command of Prohibition campaigns, that churches were the only rallying places for the 18th Amendment. To secularize the Dry cause became the purpose of Allied Forces. Dr. Poling called it a "new deal." Among its sponsors was no long list of churchmen but such names as Thomas Alva Edison, Gifford Pinchot, Jane Addams, Evangeline Booth, Patrick Henry Callahan, Oliver Wayne Stewart, Raymond Robins, William Gibbs McAdoo, Orrin R. Judd.

The organization is divided into four groups: 1) Allied Youth; 2) Allied Businessmen; 3) Allied Women; 4) Allied Campaigners.
