The dilapidated former U.S. tank landing ship is currently “on station” in the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea—aground on Ayungin, or Second Thomas, Shoal. Philippine marines stationed aboard the ship maintain a maritime presence to bolster their country’s claim to the disputed area, also claimed to varying degrees by China, Vietnam, and Malaysia. In this issue, in “Getting Serious about Strategy in the South China Sea,” authors Hal Brands and Zack Cooper analyze the four basic strategic options by which the United States might respond to China’s mode of advancing its interests in this area of contrasting and conflicting claims, capa- bilities, methods, and values.

  • Linards Udris the Press and the Repeal of National Prohibition
    The Press and the Repeal of National Prohibition 97 Linards Udris The Press and the Repeal of National Prohibition “You can lead the American people to water but you cannot MAKE them drink.” William Randolph Hearst, Chicago Herald and Examiner, January 4, 1929 In early 1929, newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst changed his mind over one of the era’s controversial issues – Prohibition1. Progressive Prohibition- ists such as Hearst had believed that the “dry law” would be an adequate measure to uplift the country. But by January 1929, Hearst was conceding that Americans could actually not be forced to drink (just) water. In demanding an end to the “noble experiment”, Hearst intensified the dynamic which led to the rapidly eroding acceptance of Prohibition, which just years before had enjoyed wide- spread support. Soon afterwards, numerous newspapers pointed out that “public opinion” had shifted and that a “wet tide”, “wet groundswell”, or “wet senti- ment” was sweeping the country2. In hindsight, it seems clear that Prohibition simply had to fail: Enforcement turned out to be impossible in most areas of the United States. The promise that a ban on drinking would make America a safer, more prosperous place was broken. However, two points are worth reiterating. First, the broken promises of Prohibi- tion had to be defined as a problem with political consequences. The corruption within the Harding administration, most notably the “Teapot dome” scandal, was a breach with Republicans’ promise of a return to “normalcy” – but citizens kept voting for the party throughout the decade. Second, even if more and more Americans did become disenchanted with Prohibition, this by itself would not de- cide Prohibition’s fate.
