Human nature, being what it is, the forbidden thing is the thing we. all desire; and that is why the normal healthy New Zealand youth re- ; gaids a harrier simply as something J to be broken down. When a young man, exhausted by his wcuifft or merely thirsty, can walk openbr Mto a hotel, order a drink, takey it//k? a man, and walls out agajjn, Ann ashamed, the are spirit of ajv/ntdre th which the average Netc IZds burner is richly endowed will/serw him in search of it ; and unde# Prohibition, to procure a drink, h* must, inevitably come in contact, with a low class of man, professional law-breakers, types of people whom, under Continuance, he would never have known; he must himself break the law, laying himself open to the disgrace of imprisonment. Mothers know only too well that when adventure beckons youth never, pauses to count the. cost.; and that knowledge will prevent the women of New Zealand from voting for a measure which will have every chance, of turning their sons inio potential criminals.*,*
