OPINION BACKED BY FACT A Community of Law Breakers. Patriotism Destroyed by Prohibition. Mf. Ppsd W. Brill is ons of the principals in the J. G. Brill Company of oar manufacturers, employing some three to four thousand employees. THE J. G. BRILL COMPANY *. V. RAWI.E Philadelphia, Pa. CABLB APDUKAAEh "BRILL" Philadki.pmm , “AXLES" Last*** 16th April, 1926. AW OPEN LETTER TO THE PEOPLE OF NEW ZEALAND. My opinion of the efficiency of Volsteadism and prohibition in -,e United States of America would require all the most denunciatory words in the dictionary. The moat dreadful thing apparent to me is the loss of patriotiam irnong people of the aubatantial circle of Society. By Society I do not cean the faahionable folk, but the backbone middle class of our country. An almost equally, if not a 3 serious, deleterious consequence of our prohibition laws, is the heavy secret tippling of our young men and women. It is a fact that working people, by this I mean the manual ,aoourer, either skilled or unskilled, can obtain liquor when they wish it. I know this from personal contact with artisans that I know, and also in seeing others intoxicated in the streets. All that I can say is that I pray that your Government does not fall into the hands of any such narrow-minded illogical group as has changed this country from a free land to one of a community of law breakers and potential traitere. If I should wish any ill to New Zealand, I could wish nothing more harmful than that her people adopt laws similar to our Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act. Cordially Yours
