In the far east it is planned to OPEN
the prohibition campaign in Japan.
Mr.. Cherrington explains that he has
selected that country on account Of its
progressiveness and decided dominance
of the orient. He>is firmly convinced
that China and contiguous countries
will quickly follow any prohibition
pace set by Japan.

5 But. strange to say 1t isSin Ger
many that Mr. .Cherrington hopes to
see surprising and hitherto undreamed-
Of things happen along the lines Of
prohibition. In discussing this par
ttcular phase OF. the impending COM
quest he made this Significant ocm-
ment:
1t will not surprise me In the least
If Germany was the. first country in
all Of Europe to: adopt prohihition.
This assertion may be received with
surprise by most>people when it is
realized that heretofore Germany has
always been the greatest beer-drink-
Ing country on earth. Long before the
beginning of the war many leading
Germans had awakened. to the dam
gers of alcoholic beverages that were
being consumed in such large quanti-
ties by their countrymen. 1t Is a well
known fact that German scientists
and educators had made exhaustive
studies and experiments in manufac-
turing establishments. hospitals and
various business enterprises as to the
effect OF strong drink on the German
people in all walks Of life. They were
not only surprised. but startled. by
the amazing facts gained through
these scientific studies by their pros
fessors.
1T may surprise you to know that
it was the data and charts made by
these German investigators that the
Anti-Saloon League of America found
so effective in waging their prohibi-
ton campaigns throughout this coun-
try. The figures and facts contained
in them were absolutely unanswer-
able. In view of the fact that Ger-
many has been awake for many years
on the prohibition question. and that
their national instinct for efficiency
was aroused as a result thereof. I am
firmly convinced that the lessons of
the war will not be lost on them, and
that the lessons Of the war will not DO
lost on them, and that they will very
soon realize that the sooner they get
rid of strong drink the sooner will
their country regain it's position In
the world. You can rest assured that
this determination will continue to
grow stronger and stronger as tho
masses learn that much of the wealth
of the kaiser and other royal houses
was derived from the manufacture OF
beer and wine"
