" Now look, although you and I have been drinking for years, we've never been drunk ))d. We've never robbed the family because of what we 've spent on drink. We don't need prohibition to k ee P us straight. We don't need hanging laws to stop us murdering, nor gaols to us honest, although such laws are necessary. Yet to tell you the truth I wouldn't be sorry to see the liquor business go, "Times enough I've had drinks when I didn't want them, often when I would have been better without them. Many a time I've wished the drinking custom had never been invented~~it's useless, anyway. All these years we've had to be 4 on guard.' " Too true —drink's dangerous, say what you like. I'd never recommend a young fellow to start." " Nor I. Looking back, I could name this one and that one, fine fellows, who would have been at the top but for drink." " Now, if drink manufacture, importation and sale stopped— as they would under prohibition—we'd lose nothing that matters. While liquor remains we know it's going to cost us a tidy bit every year; we know we have to keep being 'on guard.' We know the license system will get the fellow who cannot stop at a glass—-perhaps an employee or a friend. We know that 62 out of every 100, under 30 years of age, convicted of drunkenness will be New Zealand born boys. " Millions of people live without touching the stuff at all. Doctors say we'd be healthier without it. We're law-abiding folk and would make a big success of prohibition. Why not give it a trial?"
