A GRAVE INJUSTICE

Do those who advocate the alb
solute prohibition of the manufac-
ture and sale of all alcoholic
liquors realize the seriousness OF
the social and economic crisis that
would be precipitated by such leg
islationY Are they aware of the
fact that the heads of families ag
gregating probably not less than
three million people would sud
denly be deprived of their sole
means of livelihood, and that
properties valued i'll the aggregate
at perhaps two billion dollars
would as suddenly become worth
lessf
1t is doubtful if they do fully
realize this, yet these are figures
given by no less writer than
DR.. Henry Smith Williams in an
article in the Ladies Home Jour
nal" reviewing the prohibition

movement. And he adds: Per.
sonally | am at a loss to under
stand how anyone who has the
slightest grasp of economic ques
tons can contemplate with equa
nimity the anarchistic possibilities
nay, which reveal
themselves through the slightest
use of the imagination in connec.
ton with these figures. To me, at
least, 1t seems obvious that the
only thing which has kept the pro.
hibition movement before the PEG.
pie of the United States is the
simple fact that prohibition does
not prohibit"
Thinking men and women who
seek the truth and are unswayed
by prejudice, and who give the
foregoing facts the consideration
they deserve, cannot escape like
conclusion.
