The Prime Minister and every Member of Cabinet has received an official copy of the U.S.A. Government Report, from which these extracts are taken. This Report, dated February, 1925, gives the results of an investigation ordered to be made by Congress on May 28th, 1924. Our own Prime Minister, our own Cabinet Ministers can tell you, if need be, that the following are true extracts:— SAVINGS—" Under Prohibition the number of savings accounts in the Nation's Banks has increased 400 per cent." LIFE SAVING—" The saving* in human lives through the decreased death rate prevailing under Prohibition has been estimated at close on a million lives in the last five years." CRIME—" Reductions in violent crimes, in offences usually associated with drink, in social vice, and in public drunkenness, have distinguished the Prohibition years as compared with an equal license period." DRUNKENNESS—" In spite of increased severity on the part of most Police Departments, arrests for public drunkenness have decreased about 500,000 per year, according to well-known criminal statisticians." INSANITY—" Alcoholic insanity has decreased 66 per cent, in the first three Prohibition years, compared with the last wet years." *if| Who knows best—the N.Z. Liquor Traffic, with its scribes hired to fake WllO facts and figures, or the United States Government? Who is best worth believing, peevish U.S.A. writers bleating for their bottle, and defiling „. y _ ®l their country's good name—or the United States Government acquainted fyIIOWS s with ALL the facts? Why does the N.Z. Liquor Traffic distort and fake the facts? Because it fears what you will do when you realise the TRUTH.
