' The only possible justification for the prohibition of intoxicating beverages is that such prohibition reduces drunkenness and its attendant evils. If prohibition fails as a temperance measure, it has not a leg to stand upon. Conditions in the United States after eight years of drastio Federal Prohibition afford abundant evidence of its failure. There has been a.continuous increase in the yearly ,; arrests for drunkenness all over the United States since 1920; so that they are now near pre-prohibition levels. Crime, instead of decreasing as the advocates of. ) prohibition had prophesied, has increased alarmingly,. A most discouraging'feature of the situation is the >■ J> increase of drinking among our youth. This, is a matter of common knowledge the country over. The police records of the city of Washington, D..C\, may serve as a sample of what everybody knows is going on everywhere. Jh this city, the \* capital of the United States, right under the noses of the ..\ ,: Federal Authorities charged with the enforcement of.'the> Prohibition Laws, the average number of arrests of persons under 21 years of age for drunkenness in the years 1910 to * 1917 was 46.7 per year. In 1926 it was 340. Evidence of social workers, / police chiefs, judges and sheriffs, from all parts of the country proves beyond question that the young ', generation is drinking to an extent never known under the old laws. ' ■*" Happily the general demoralisation caused by this foolish • > '*'* attempt to change over-night by force the manners and customs of humanity has aroused a growing and insistent demand, for , a return to sanity and sound government for reasons quite • disassociated with the thirst for liquor, and we are, we ''*< believe, in sight of some relief from conditions intolerable ,:, to patriotic and thinking Americans. - k I- wish you success in your effort in New Zealand to 2 avoid the iniquities of prohibition.
