My opinion of the efficiency of Volsteadism and. prohibition in the United. States of America would require all the most denunciatory words in the dictionary. ’ The most dreadful thing apparent to me is the loss of patriotism among people of the substantial circle of Society. By Society I do not mean the fashionable folk, but the backbone middle class of our country. An almost equally, if not as serious, deleterious consequence of our prohibition laws, is the heavy secret, tippling of our young men and women. It is a fact that working people, by this I mean the manual labourer, either skilled or unskilled, can obtain liquor when they wish it. I know this from personal contact with artisans that I know, and also in seeing others intoxicated in the streets. All that I can say is,that I pray that your Government does not fall into the hands of any such narrow-minded illogical group as has changed this country from a free land to one of a community of law breakers and potential traitors. If I should wish any ill to New Zealand, I could wish nothing more harmful than that her people adopt laws similar to our Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act.
