Their Homes Are Invaded. Citizens Shot in Cold Blood. Millions Frittered Away. Hon. Emanuel Celler, representative in Congress of the tOth district of New York. ''EMANUEL CELLER >Otm Ois'R'Cr New You. Congress of tfjc sHniteb States Jiioufi it of Beprestentatibctf SSajEfljmston, s®. C. 22nd April, 1925. AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PEOPLE OF NEW ZEALAND. My opinion of Prohibition in the U.S.A. is that it has utterly failed, and it is hoped,that the colossal error which we have made will not be repeated.elsewhere. Prohibition was foisted upon an unwilling public as the result of war hysteria, but the people of the U.S.A. are now becoming restive under it. They find their homes invaded: their suit cases opened: their automobiles stopped in the high-ways, and citizens shot down in cold blood. Even a U.S.A. Senator was shot in Washington by a Prohibition Agent. There is no longer any right of castle, nothing is any longer sacred to Prohibition agents. In a country that.boasts of its liberty it is rather anomalous to find it destroying most' of our liberty. Volsteadism has ushered in an utter disregard of law and order under the mockery of law enforcement. We frittered away millions and millions of dollars only to find more and more drinking and more and more , drinkers. Prohibition is upon our backs like an incubus, breeding deceit., dishonesty and chicanery. The advocates of Prohibition are never satisfied with appropriations, and are constantly calling upon Congress to appropriate more, in a hopeless attempt to make both land and sea dry. As a Member of Congress I oppose wholesale appropriations for Prohibition enforcements. We have given them almost 25 million dollars this past year (£5,000,000 sterling) but it is only a rope of sand. Each year the Prohibitionists want more and more; they are insatiate as the grave. The U.S.A. is paying a terrible price for Prohibition; it is hoped that New Zealand will not pay such a price. Temperance, yes, but Prohibition never. Only by the slow proce-ss of education and moral suasion can any country hope to be temperate. You cannot bludgeon the U.S.A. into total abstinence. New Ye** Omei «’» CHAMBERS STRMTP New vo»K Cmr.
