THE TRUTH ABOUT PROHIBITION. EIGHT MONTHS’ EXPERIENCE IN AMERICA. (“Sunday Pictorial,” .July 13th, 1919.) Mr. F. A. McKenzie, author of “Sober by Act of Parliament,” and other well-known works on the temperance question, has just s P eight- months in America, and he has told the people of England, thiough the “Sunday Pictorial,” something of hia experiences. In the course of that article Mr. McKef zip says:— PROHIBITION BREEDS DISCONTENT. | “My own decided conviction is that Prohibition & one ol the largely-contributing I causes to the spread ol discontent among the workers on the Pacific Coast during the past two years. Drink was an anodyne. | j “Neither does | Prohibition permanently reduce Crime or poverty to the extent its advocates would have us believe. /At first there is usually a great decline in criminal offences, hut gradually the balance becomes restored again The causes of most crime and vice lie deeper than drink. j‘ \ “One of the most experienced Magistrates in Canada, presiding over one of the busiest courts in the Dominion, discussed this point with me. Hy praised prohibition as a war measure. PROHIBITION CREATES pfH E DRUG HABIT. -Then he -ntent on: ‘Prohibition alters the current, but does not decrease the volume off crime. Certain crimes of violence decline, and fewer drunken men!are convicted. Hut against that there is, first, a great increase irf liquor law offences; next, a very considerable increase in perjuryl-we almost take perjury for granted in cases where drink is concerned—<:uul. last of all. an enormous increase in crimes due to drujp; addiction. Of that last point, sp©aking from my own experience, there can be doubt at all. . . . •’ PROHIBITION IS A CLASS MEASURE“One thing, and probably one tiling alone, can destroy Prohibition in America, and that is th 0 realisation by the working men that it is essentially a class measure. “The poor man is heavily fined or imprisoned for having whisky in his possession which he bought alter Prohibition became law. The rich man sits at home with Ills whisky decanter in front of him. He had money to lay up a store ahead.” Prohibition is a rich mail’s law: it induces class hatredsit proI motes lying; it incites- dishonesty. If you would avoid the evils, which j grow up like mushrooms under Prohibition, you will vote in this way— I VOTE FOR NATIONAL CONTINUANCE r vTinm-Tt ir»AS> a nrr l fvetti l *7 ATT PAD * ' V Atj S.XFU't i’Sfliil
