HOW TO jSTOP 26.40 ft CONVICTIONS. ■A:wr \ ■ - If prohibition is not carried at the next poll the liquor traffic will be free to carry on for another three years. That means that, on a conservative estimate, it will be free to produce 26,400 convictions for drunkenness in New Zealand. In 1921 the traffic resulted v in over 8800 convictions. ‘.Not only will the traffic result in that during the next three years, but it will also result in all the 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. 'ln Toronto, Canada, in 1914, under license, when only bad '“drunks ” were arrested, the arrests were 16,981. In 1921, under prohibition, when any man showing •.signs of drunkenness was arrested, they were only 5811. Besides, as Sir John Balmond has said of prohibition in the U..SJA., 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, ahd stop the cause of drunkenness. —N.Z. Alliance Publicity (62).
