REMEMBER THE PRICE AMERICA PAID
America paid a terrific price for prohibition in both money and in morals, and the evils created were so deep-seat-ed that a gigantic cleaning up problem was created even after repeal. To quote Will Irwin in. the “New York Herald Tribune”: “We’re going to have some peculiar and complex troubles arising from two sources. First, prohibition has brod an army of parasites who have learned for the first time in history how to make crime pay. . . In the second place, .a big element has learned the arts of illict brewing, distilling and blending.” Other observers state that the cause of temperance in the United States was set back many years by prohibition and its after-effects. The failure of prohibition is plainly writ for all to see. That is why, to-day, no country in the world has it. New Zealand should avoid it as if it were a plague. Vote for true temperance and peaceful progress. Vote Continuance.*
