EXPLOSION IS
COMING SOON
(By United Press)

NEW YORK, May 12.-"Prohibition
has removed the American safety
valve and the country will blow up
within three years." Andre Tridon,
psychoanalyst, declared today.
This explosion" Tridon explained,
would be signalized by the rush of
hundreds of thousands of persons to
insane asylums and sanitariums.
"The greatest cause of insanity is
repression" Tridon said every per-
son is endowed with the craving for
self-expression. This may take the
form of music, art, oratory or what
not. The American people, particularly
the Anglo-Saxon element, have been
taught to repress these natural desires.
A drink or two enabled him to slough
off their natural reserve, and they
sang or Grated, or did what they most
longed for.
"People who did not seek an outlet
for these things through the temper
ate use of alcohol, or the Incorporate
use of drugs. often became insane
and their insanity took the form of
doing to an extreme the thing they
had repressed.
Nov we have prohibition. Its strict
enforcement will bottle up these emo
tions and those who lack the strongest
of will power will be a prey to ner-
vous diseases, ending in the sanitarium
or the asylum.
This country is like huge boiler
Excess steam escaping through the
safety valve of tennarate drink mo
Now the valve has been tied down
Like any other boiler, the result will
be an explosion"
Tridon emphasized that he is op-
posed to excessive use of alcohol.
