Representatives From Many Countries Gather at Capital to
Study Alcohol Problem
FOREIGN DELEGATES DECLARE WHOLE WORLD
IS WATCHING The RESULTS OF PROHIBITION
Official Reports on the Effect Of Dry Law in America Will Be Made to
Other Governments
MANY LANDS WILL ADOPT PROHIBITION IF SUCCESSFUL HERE

resentatives OF foreign lands that the
future policy of their respective gov
ernments on the alcohol problem de
pends largely on the results of Pro
hibtion here is a solemn and inspir-
ing call to every loyal citizen of this
land to help make the Eighteenth
Amendment a great success. OF
American Prohibition it may be truly
said, Humanity with all its fears,
with all its hopes of future years, is
hanging breathless on thy fate.
Telling the Truth to the World
While the purpose OF the Congress
Against Alcoholism is to study the
effects OF alcohol and the best means
to abolish its evils, it is apparent that
many foreign delegates have already
learned enough about the results OF
Prohibition in America to favor its
adoption everywhere. Many speak
ers expressed surprise that the law is
working SO we'll and declared that the
facts are not being presented in the
press or otherwise in their own coun-
tries. Although many findings of
great value will result from the Con-
gress it is evident that the greatest
practical result will be the bringing
OF the truth about Prohibition here
to the people OF other countries.
Foreign Papers Mislead People
The value OF official reports to
other countries was illustrated by Dr.
A. H. Cook, of South Africa. He
said, I'VE want to get the facts. The
cables don't carry them and the news
papers in my country do not print
them. According to our papers you
are being blotted out by Prohibition
YOU are going to pieces. We learn
from our papers that the only places
of amusement you have left are opium
joints We learn that the pet snake
industry is hourishing here in Amer
ica because snake bites furnish the
necessity of drinking alcohol as a
cure. That was mentioned as seri-
ous argument in our Legislature. We
want you to give us the facts"
Congress is Under Government
Auspices
During the opening session of the
Congress, William Jennings Bryan
made brief address TO the delegates.
Following his remarks DR.. E. c. Din
widdie, chairman of the American
Executive Committee, explained that
the plan of the present Congress
Against Alcoholism was inaugurated
by Mr.. Bryan while he was Secretary
of State Mr.. Bryan appointed the
American delegates to the Fourteenth
Congress at Milan, Italy, in 1918. An
invitation was then extended to the
Congress TO meet i'll the United
States. Following the acceptance of
this invitation the government of the
United States authorized the holding
of the Congress under official aus
pices. a formal invitation was eX
tended to foreign governments to
participate and an appropriation was
made for the expenses of organizing
and conducting the Congress.

WATCHING AMERICA

I'VE are looking to America
for the solution of the drink
problem. 1t would be to us
heart-break and a setback for
a generation if your Prohibition
in America should fail. The
whole world is watching Amer
lea" DIR. A. H. Cook, of South
Africa.
"Your nation is giving the
practical lesson of Prohibition
-one of the greatest lessons
ever taught the world. For
merly it was thought no nation
could be dry. Now America is
proving that the whole world
can be dry."-Senor Epigmenio
Nelasco, of Mexico.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1920-09-24

declared that nothing Is more ur-
gendy important than the holding of
our legislative ground. Dr. Barton
presented an analysis OF the vote for
the Nolstead enforcement code which
showed that a change of 81 votes
would give the vets control OF the
House OF Representatives In show
ing how dangerously close this dry
margin is he referred to the fact that
o. members may be added 10 the
House by reapportionment under the
last census, and that practically all of
the new members will come from the
large eenters OF population If the
congressional reapportionment does
not add additional numbers neverthe-
less the proportion of members from
the large centers OF population will
be increased. These facts make ii of
supreme importance that the drys
maintain strong organizations to Sup
port dry candidates for Congress.
Educational Work by League
X. 2. Hutton, Superintendent of
the Wisconsin League, explained the
work carried on by his organization
to reach citizens of foreign birth with
the facts relative to the Constitution
and the Importance of loyalty to the
laws of America. Through lectures
and literature the foreign born are
impressed with not only the value
and necessity OF law and order in gem
eral, but the benefits OF obedience to
! the Eighteenth. Amendment in partic-
uiar. l.. Nj. Chaliant, editor of the
Pennsylvania American Issue. out
lined the possibilities, OF reaching the
pupils in the public schools with in
struction relative to Prohibition and
the effects of alcohol. Three means
of educating the youth OF America
suggested by Mr. Chafant were the
giving OF lectures by representatives
OF the Anti-Saloon League, the fur
nishing of information to superin-
tendents and teachers, and the en-
couragement of obedience TO the laws
governing the teaching of physio-
logical facts about alcohol in the pub
lie schools
The Worldwide Problem
Homer w. Tope, Pennsylvania STU
perintendent, speaking of worldwide
Prohibition, said, "If we fail, Pro-
hibition will be put back a century,
if we win, the whole world will feel
the effect. Prohibition is not safe
here so long as the liquor traffic is
entrenchcd elsewhere" Geo. W. SAT-
ford, Minnesota superintendent. de-
clared that the United States should
be tie champion OF Prohibition
throughout the world Uncle Sam
must be the great international Pro-
hibitionist," he said. Dr. Stafford
made strong and logical plea in
favor of having the United States gov
ernment officially support Prohibition
throughout the world through its
foreign representatives. In this there
is no Inconsistency, he said, because
the brewers for years had the help,
protection and cooperation OF the
government i'll connection with their
foreign trade,
Space limitations prevent full re-
port OF the conference Of Anti Saloon
League officials in this number. In
future editions special phases of the
Leagues future work, as presented i'll
addresses OF delegates and visitors
| will be presented.

 The docket in the Superior court, criminal side, today was again bur- ,dened with petty cases, the prepara- tion of which delayed the opening of the session until II o'clock.
 The first cases called were those of Ernest Bucchio and N ichael Sember who have already spent 76 days in jail awaiting trial on. the charge of robbery. They pleaded guilty and were given an indefinite m in the State Refornlatory a Cht-lire.

 The poisonous toxin is destroyed by heat If canned food is thoroughly heated through after it is removed from the containers all danger of Botulism poisoning will be avoided. There are few if any ready to serve" canned foods which are in any way damaged by being boiled, and if nec- essary cooled, before Deung eaten. Any canned food which snows the slightest sign of spelling should be discarded without tasting. Only In this way can one be sure of being safe.
 That there will be a greater knowl- edge of this poison and it's violent ef- fects together with means of combat ing them seems probable, for at the present time the University of Can- fornja, Stanford University, and the United States Public Health Service are cooperating in the study of Botulism.
