SOME ASPECTS OF PROHIBITION

(By A Woman.)

WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH OUR BOYS?

Each year it becomes more and more difficult for the youth of New Zealand to find careers for themselves, owing, perhaps, to our lack cf secondary industries, and to the fact that the country has passed the absorption point for imported -labor. Mothers who have sjtent long_ years equipping and schooling their Boys for the struggle of life are astounded and distressed when the day" comes for their sons to launch out, to fiSl how few, and how crowded, are tg§>. possible, openings. - if after day the nprffjthat hundreds of njjpliculits npfif.y rat each positiMi ad^prtijp^yind DL Isojfie w even mvo^rars! The N<Jw Zealand Alliance, disregarding Jne seriousness of the posi** tiori, means, at one blow, to thousands of men and women, young, out- of work; and they have the stupidity to women that these of workers. skilled and jrffkilled, manual and professionaLgWrkers. down to the men who delivery vans, will be absorbfitfFutto other industriesVainly what industries? • Thejjrfris, no answer, because there none; and it is doubtful if, wffli all the sophistry emp’oyed by the .Alliance, they can succeed in convincing ope per cent- of the population that, in. the event of Prohibition being c'arried, 'work could be found for even fire per cent, of those who would he »o tragically thrown on the ,labor market., •; Women who think,' and the proportion of intelligent women is perhaps larger in N.Z. ‘than in any country in the world, will use their logic on Election Day and. by their united vote, save this country from economic disaster/ 1
