Not a million a year ? Yet this is all the State receives for the continuance of a traffic which threatens the wellbeing of every N.Z. child! Surely money is poor remuneration for the destruction of life and character. We are literally sacrificing our children for liquor revenue. Were you to imagine a " cradle roll" of future drinkers, could you be sure that YOUR child's name would not be on it? Or the name of the other child whose mother hoped just as much for her boy as you do for yours ? There are 150,000 children under . school age in N.Z. to-day—how many of these will go under through drink if YOU allow the liquor trade to continue ? Your estimate of the value of the children of New Zealand will be de* ~mh It is up to YOU! You can now remove this greatest of all snares and pitfalls. The liquor trade holds a mortgage' on every cradle. As you value your boy, and the other boy, make New Zealand safe. Prohibition will not only save the children, it will also make N.Z. more prosperous. The lives saved, the increased earning power gained, the expenditure in productive channels of the present drink bill, and the saving on Gaols, Hospitals, etc., will all contribute to the wealth of the people and the revenue of the State. Prohibition, therefore, saves both life and money. Remember, the issue will be decided by a bare majority vote. Your vote may win or lose the day. If you refuse —or neglect— to vote for Prohibition, the responsibility for the drink traffic will rest on you.
