• A LORDT/Y LAPSE. HENRY FORD V. LORD DEWAR. Lord Dewar —of whisky fame—in the London "Globo” dated October 21. 1920. said that when he asked Air. Henry Ford if prohibition in the United States of America had been beneficial, Mr. Ford replied:—“l have not seen any benefits whatever. A,ll I have seen in this country is that it has made millions of law-breakers.” A copy of the interview was forwarded to Mr. Ford, whose general secretary, under date November 17, 1920, replied: "I wish to advise that no such statement has ever been made by/Mr. Ford, and it is therefore denied. Air. Ford’s views on alcohol are: "Alcohol is regarded as a curse. It Js not. It is the use to which it is put Hint forms tho evil. Tho day is almost at hand when mankind will never more drink intoxicants. Alcohol will be J ll ' 0 ’ duced for one purpose only—power.” According to police chiefs in 59 cities in the U.S.A., the first full dry year, 1920. resulted in a decrease of over 109,000 in arrests for all causes ns compared with 1917. The "millions of lawbreakers” invented by Lord Dewar are thus seen to exist in his imagination only.—N.Z. Alliance Publicity. (11l— Advt.
