HOW TO STOP 26,400 CONVICTIONS If prohibition is not carried at tlio next poll, the liquor traffic will be free to cany oh for another three years. That means that, on a conservative estimate, it will be free to produce 2b',400 convictions for drunkenness in New Zealand. In 1921 the traffic resulted in over 8,800 convictions. Not only will the traffic result in that during the next three year*, but it will also result in all tlio degradation and misery produced in homes where the victim to drink does not appear in the Courts. Prohibition does not immediately wipe out all drunkenness, but it does reduce it enormously. In Toronto, Canada, in 1914 under license, when only bad "drunks" were arrested, the arrests were 1.(5,981. In 1921 under prohibition, when any man showing signs of drunkenness was arrested, they were only 5.811. Besides, as Sir John Salmond has said of prohibition in the U.SiA., the younger generation are growing up without cultivating the taste for alcohol. Prohibition is just Common-sense—-prevention rather than cure. Vote out the liquor traffic and stop the cause of drunkenness.—N.Z. Alliance Publicity (82).
