The work for Prohibition IN Swe
den is more and more shaping itself
into a hard and decisive battle.
For a long time the work of the
Royal Temperance Commission has
gone on, and with considerable inn
patience the temperance people OF
the country have expected to get the
report of its studies and researches
together with the definite proposals
of Prohibition law for Sweden. II
has lust now been issued.
The commission was appointed to
its work on the 18th of November
1911. Its members were selected
from both prohibitionists as we'll as
their opponents. These were the
members, who have been at work for
nearly nine years with the exception
of one, who some time ago became
a member of the Swedish government

Although the Commission has been

as to the question of Prohibition, the
final result of its work has been far
more harmonious than could be ex-
pected Out of the ten working mem
bers only one has taken a decided
stand against Prohibition, namely,
DIR. Ivan Bratt, man who has in
vented the so-called Stockholm sys-
tenn, that has been in effect during
the last FIVE or six years in Sweden,
and has been a means of creating
the appetite for alcohol especially
among men of 20 to 80 years of age.
DIR. Bratt is the key man to all, or at
least most of the anti-Prohibition
propaganda in Sweden. And since
he was one of the members of the
Commission, nothing else could be

The Fight Against Alcoholism in Norway
BY Advocate Sonodal Chief of Norwegian Anti Alcohol
Christania

The legislative fight against alcohol
ism in Norway, began in the years
1910 and following. In 1S45, free dis
tillation was suppressed. In 1871, Ii
censes were given to society or Sam
lags (Gothembourg SYSTEM. Since
1894, the Samlags are enjoying mon
opoly, but they may be suppressed by
a popular vote Many votes have been
taken so that there were only Is Sam
lags in 1918.
Since Christmas, 1916, Norway is
under Prohibition of spirits, and, with
a short interruption, of wine with
more than II per cent alcohol. On
October and g, the voters (men and
women were consulted as to the de-

The results of the Prohibition
measure taken during the war have
been very good. The arrests for
drunkenness sank from $1,000 in 1915,
to $4,000 in 1918. In 1919, there was
an increase to $4,000 which is to be
attributed to the greater consumption
of light wine.
Since April 1919 there is no new in
crease. We have thus decrease of
40 per cent since 1916.
The results of partial Prohibition
are encouraging the members of tenn
perance societies Zone tenth of the
whole population to ask for full Pro-
hibition and to work for the forma-
ton of strong Prohibition opinion
among the population.

The Results of the Measures Against Alcoholism in
EurOpe During The War
BY Mr.. Larsen-Ledet, Aarhus, Denmark

All these experiences have created
a strong public opinion in favor OF
Prohibition People and press have
got their eyes opened to the impor-
lance of this reform. Our adversaries
have been forced to admit that re-
striction brings some good.
The liquor traffic was power, be-
cause it has money and because in
several countries it controls Govern
ment and Parliament Thanks to that
power, many war measures will be re-
pealed and wave of alcohol will
overflow Europe again.
But the war measures have made
Prohibition a living issue, and in the
future discussions the facts, gathered
during the war will remain. In the
past we have had theory on our side
Now we have also the facts. Citizens
will remember that our country was
happy when the war had stopped dis
tilleries and breweries; this remem-
brance will help US forward to victory
Before the war, dry Europe was
dream, distant possibility; now il
is probability likely to be realized
in a few years. This change is the
great miracle of our age.

With the Prohibition of brandy
during the war the arrests for drunk
enness in Denmark decreased by four
fifths; for violence, one-half; for sex
ual offenses, one-third; dilirium ire
mems, by ffteen-sixteenths. Hospitals
reported fewer cases. Warehouses
the Salvation Army, Missions for the
homeless, slum missions of every kind
reported diminished number OF
guests, while those who came were
orderly and better clothed.
From every township in the country
it was reported that families who had
received poor-relief for many years
were able to support themselves be-
cause the head of the family was sober
and felt inclined to work Home life
was happier. Tradesmen reported in
creased sales.
Official reports and Investigations
were not necessary to convince of the
benefits of the war anti-liquor meas
ures; walk through the streets was
enough. Even the physical appear
ance of the people improved $
The experience in Denmark was
similar to that of all Europe. In every
land, restriction OF the liquor traffic
resulted in decrease of crime, and
public charges, increase OF health, in
dustry, efficiency and happiness.

Bryan Scores NeWJerSey

At the recent session of the Inter
national Congress Against Alcohol
ism, the Governors of the several
states sent representatives to attend
the Congress. Among these delegates
was DIR. Charles A. Rosewater, of
New Jersey, who was sent to the
Congress by Governor Edwards, the
wet executive of that state. Appar-
emily, Rosewater is as wet as Ed
wards.
DR.. Rosewater was given permits
sion to speak at the Congress, and
his address was TRADE against
Prohibition. He said the Prohibition
act could not be enforced, that it is a
failure, and that the reason for its
being failure is largely due to the
fact that countless thousands of de-
cent citizens are not in sympathy
with it."
Going on the theory that the en-
forcement of the Eighteenth Amend
ment is a mechanical and financial
impossibility, DR.. Rosewater insisted
that the act must be modified and
made less drastic, so that it will get
public support. He rehashed the old
claim that the present Prohibition
law is intolerable because it deprives
the workingman of his glass of beer"
William Jennings Bryan was at the
session of the Congress which DR..
Rosewater addressed, and said to the
Congress at the conclusion of the
New Jersey mans TRADE:
| believe it would have been
proper to exclude from the floor
any delegates sent here by the
Governor of New Jersey, or any
interest of that state to speak on
this subject. The Governor of
New Jersey is a nullihcationist
of the Constitution. He is trying
to elect men pledged against
Prohibition to Congress. New
Jersey is outside OF the Union on
Prohibition. We will make the
Prohibition act stronger. 1t will
not be weakened. The country
would not stand for that. We do
not need any advice from New
Jersey.

expected. All the rest of the Com
mission is either heartily in favor of
nationwide Prohibition, or some of
the members are quite ioath as to
the time it should be adopted, others
are very positive as to the desirable
ity of quick action in the matter.
The majority of the Commission
has agreed on proposal for"Law
concerning alcoholic liquors ETC." of
which the following is the most
prominent matter:
/. Prohibition is the only real So
luton of the liquor problem
2. Prohibition legislation should be
enacted that prohibits not only dis
titled liquors, but also alcoholic wines
and beers.
3. All liquors containing more than
two and one-fourth per centum OF al
cohol by weight should be termed as
alcoholic or Intoxicating liquors.
q. After having been adopted by the
Parliament, such law, or bill, should
be referred to a vote by the people,
and go into effect 3 years after the
adoption by the people by at least
90 per cent of all votes cast.
Besides this the proposition con-
tains detailed provisions for an effec-
tive enforcement, and these are gen
orally quite strong (for illegal making
of intoxicants fines from 200 up to
10000 kroner and for illegal selling
from 500 to 5000 kroner; also con-
hnement to prison for up to one
Year,.
A great volume Of facts about the
liquor question is the report of the
Commission, and for the general
public of Sweden it must be said to
be very fortunate, that such a work as
this has now been published. The
great survey embraces practically all
sides of modern knowledge about
alcohol and its workings on the in
dividual and not the least, its socio-
logical workings. On the other hand
much space has been given to inn
partial presentation of the workings
of Prohibition in lands that have had
experiences of Prohibition, as Ice
land, Finland, Norway, Canada, and
| last, but not least, the United States
of America.
What are the present aspects for
Prohibition in Sweden?
The Swedish Parliament. at pres
ent, has not a majority for national
Prohibition in more than one of its
houses, the lower house, where about
two to one are in favor of Prohibition.
The upper house on the other hand
has a wet majority, which can hinder
the adoption of any dry measure
However, the entire Parliament
will be subject to an election in 1921.
At that time woman's suffrage will
be effective and the outlook for a
strong dry majority in both houses
of Parliament is very promising. Al
so it is quite likely, that peoples
vote on the principle of Prohibition
will be adopted to take place before
the handling of the Prohibition bill
by the Parliament, instead of having
such a vote taken after the action OF
the Parliament on the bill.
