WHERE THERE’S PROHIBITION THERE’S TROUBLE
Practically every day’s news contains fresh evidence of the havoc wrought by prohibition. Finland is the sole remaining prohibition country besides the United States. The following cabled report is illuminating: — CRIME IN FINLAND. An Australian Press Association message from Helsingfors, states that the Finnish Government’s analysis of crime for the year reveals that, despite prohibition, out of 168,000 arrests 123,000 were var- „ iously for drunkenness, the illegal possession of alcohol, and bootlegging. —“Evening Post,” 29/10/28. Finland’s population is little more than twice that of New Zealand. Finland under prohibition has 168,000 arrests in a year. New Zealand under Continuance has less than one twentieth the number, including arrests under all headings. Prohibition creates a criminal’s paradise. Keep it out by voting Continuance. —2.
