fJIBIli! A Billion Dollars Lost to the Government. Degrading and Disastrous to Youth. The Law Cannot be Enforced. m 111 Dr. Charles Norris, M.D. An Open Letter to the Electors of New Zealand. City of New York Chief Medical. Examiner MUNICIPAL BUILDING CHARLES NORRIS. M. O. CXI t. MEDICAL CXAMINLO CCORSC l». LE BRUN Now York City, Bth April, 1925. I sincerely trust, that New Zealand will never have inflicted upon it the disastrous results which have followed the passing of the Eighteenth Amendment, and the Enactment of the Volstead Act. Volsteadism is iniquitous. In my opinion all persons who have been drinking before urohibition, are drinking now, some more heavily than before the enactment of the law, and others, who have only been beer drinkers are now drinking mostly Scotch Whisky and freshly distilled stuff, fpr the reason that beer, being bulky, is not easily handled. The open Saloon has been largely replaced by ‘Speak Easys', so that there are almost as many drinking places at the present time in New York as there were before Prohibition. So far as I am able to tell, there are as many cases of Alcoholism treated in the hospitals as there were before, and I am informed that in Neurological Clinics there are as many cases of Alcoholic Neuritis. The law cannot be enforced in the large cities in this country, and it is not being enforced. It has corrupted the morals of a large number of our citizens and it has bad a very degrading effect upon the youth of the country, as well as all those who are drinkers. Curious evasions are made: For instance, in many of the Clubs drinking goes on in a small bar; the members supply their own bootlegger whisky for all the beer and wines and liquors which may be obtained in this country are strictly of the bootlegging variety, for in only a very few homes has the supply of liquor been -large enough to last for five years. One set of our people is determined not to have the law enforced. At public banquets cocktails are served surreptitiously, if one may use this expression, and often special rooms are hired where the guests may obtain a drink, or drinks. Altogether the worst featur.e of prohibition is the disrespect engendered for all laws, and it cannot in the end fail to have a disastrous effect upon the youth of the country. The Federal Government has lost over a billion dollars a year from taxation upon whisky and beer. Taxes which should go to the Government now so to the bootleggers who have become a special new class of citizens, which in my opinion, bids no good to the country. In Denmark, which has no liquor restrictions, the Government furnishes liquor, there is less drunkenness than in any other country. Yours very truly, Chief Medical Examiner of tha City of New York. ifiIJPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIItiIiIII Profit fey Experience VOTE CONTINUANCE
