COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY ' WASHINGTON. D. C. M.O.TURTO.N,Aj«I.a,LW 15th April,. 1925. AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PEOPLE OF NEW ZEALAND. New Zealand has the experiences of this country to guide her against any unfortunate program of legislation concerning prohibition. The prohibitory movement in America is but another demonstration of the fact that the enactment into law of any morals-regulating statute is an utter futility. Five years of prohibition in this country serve but to increase our belief that a vital distinction must be made between prohibition and temperance. The nation which is temperate in its habits will always be more successful than its alcoholic neighbour. The means to be employed to make a nation temperate are not those imposed upon us by the vicious Eighteenth Amendment and the Volsted Act, but rather should they be those of education and moral suasion. Temperance was advancing in America with great strides until 1920. Since that time we have become a nation of hyprocites and law-breakers. All tyoes and all ages are now in the drinking class. The rich, the poor, the young and the old are carrying flasks on their persons, or brewing their concoctions in their homes. In the old days it was an impossibility to observe a young boy or a vounfi girl under the influence of liquor. The sight of them in an intoxicated condition is to-day but commonplace. Prohibition is responsible for this and prohibition must pay the penalty at some future date. ., „n _ -x> vr 7««iQvifl ot»*» fflr-RReiTiP - . t.hev wi question of national prohibition in the light of the morbid and disastrous experiences in America.
