SPIES AND “SPEAK-EASIES.”
/The Washington (D.C.) News of December 7, 1927, publishes the following:—
“ A professional informer in Washington the other day told the police his own sister was violating the prohibition law. He led the police to her home, and she was arrested.” The Journal, Providence, says:— “The enforcement of the prohibition law is a plain farce over very large areas of the United States. National prohibition has, not accomplished the reforms for which it. was intended, but has produced new evils and aggravated old ones. The sale of intoxicating liquor goes on, only half concealed, in every
section of the country.” Prohibition is a law that is foreign to British people. Keep it out of New Zealand.*
