CRIME IN AMERICA
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE’S ADMISSION The “Morning Post,” June 1, 1925. “President Coolidge, in his Memorial Day address to-day, pleaded for tho better enforcement of the law and the universal observance of tho Constitution of the American people. “He compared the crime record of tho United States with that of Great Britain and older countries, saying that a recent survey which ho had read showed that there were eight times a, many murders in proportion to' the population in the United States as there were in England, and five times as many as in France, while .there were many tiqies as many burglaries in America as in Great Britain.” Thus, on the evidence given by tho President of the United States, it is proved that a state of Prohibition is a state of increased Crime and lawlessness. Prohibition does not destroy evil, it multiplies it. 17
