THE NEW ALLURING MERLE OBERON The sensation of the Film World, in "THE DARK ANGEL" with Fredric March and Herbert Marshall (Recommended for Adults) A Samuel Goldwyn Picture-Released by United Artists. ' ■ * ''.'■■ - BIG MEN Big enough to admit that they were wrong These prominent men wanted prohibition—they worked for it and they got it. Now they condemn their own cause because it so utterly condemned itself, v ' , John D. Rockefeller, Jr.— a life-long "dry," and a big contributor for years to prohibition fighting funds, welcoming repeal states— "The whole wretched nexus of crime that developed while prohibition was in force must be wiped out. The defiance of law that has grown up in the last fourteen years, the hypocrisy, the .breaking down of Governmental machinery, the demoralisation In the public and private life, is a stain on America that can no longer be toierated." Alfred Sloan, President, General Motors Corporation:—" Prohibition has created a general condition far more damaging to the present or future stability of the country than any possible benefits that would otherwise be enjoyed." Walter P. Chrysler, President Chrysler Corporation :—"For many years both before and after the adoption of the Eighteenth Amendment, I favoured prohibition. It is clear that prohibition is a failure. It has done the nation more harm than good. Prohibition is doomed." \ Major Maurice Campbell, former New York" Prohibition Administrator:—"l have tendered my resignation as Prohibition Administrator for New York. Prohibition is not the logical solution for temperance, and I now publicly advocate its repeal, before the nation is consumed in the fires of its consequences." Other prominent prohibitionists who reversed their opinion include: Harper Sibley, leading Churchman and Philanthropist; Rev. Dr. Russell J. Clinch/, prominent Washington Congregationalist; Senator Norris; John L. McNab, Noted Republican and Presbyterian Elder; Rev. Dr. John A. Ryan, Professor of Sociology; Lieut. Gov. Merriam, former militant prohibitionist and W.C.T.U. spokesman; Dr. Horace D. Taft; and Harvey S. Firestone, Sr., Chairman Firestone Tire & Rubber Co., formerly a supporter of prohibition since its inception. The foregoing are a few of the many who were big enough to admit they were wrong.
