A. A. P. A. DEMANDS BEER
DISTRIBUTION COMMISSION
Brewers Aid Society" Makes Des-
perate Effort to Prove Beer
is Alive

In a recent circular put out by the
Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment, demand is made for
the appointment of commission to
determine how best beer and wine
may be distributed in the communit-
les desiring these intoxicants. This
brewers aid society is emphasizing
the statement in all their circulars
that the saloon must never come back,
but they are just rs positive in their
demand for the return of beer and
wine.
Thus far no attempt has been made
by the association to explain how
they expect to distribute booze with
out the saloon or its equivalent.
That they are up in the air on this
proposition is seen in this latest de-
mand for a commission. The de-
mand as appearing in the recent
circular follows.
We demand the immediate ap-
pointment of a commission of ex-
perts to examine and report upon
the systems of distribution in
use in those countries which are
free from the evils of the saloon,
so that the people may have be-
fore them informal ion which will
secure the passage of laws by
their own state Legislature
adapted to the varying needs of
each individual state.
Who would appoint these experts,
and who are experts on this question?
The difficulty of securing commits.
sion that would be satisfactory to
both vets and drys is apparent. Why
not abide by the results of expert
ments along this line already made?
Sweden tried some such scheme under
the Gutenberg system but it proved
a failure and a source of intolerable
corruption.
South Carolina tried it under the
dispcnsary system and after a long
and faithful trial the citizens of that
state rejected the dispensary in favor
of Prohibition.
The fact is, whatever the distribut-
ing station may be called it will be
the same old saloon which the Assoc

ers. 1t carries a Cincinnati datelino
of May 10 and is addressed to all
organized labor OF the state of Ohio.
The opening paragraph of the circular
reads:
The Brewery. Flour, Cereal and
Soft Drink Workers of Ohio are
working jointly with the Assoeia-
ton Against the Prohibition
Amendment for the repeal of the
state Prohibition enforcement act
at the coming fall election.
There certainly ought to be better
team work on the part of the publicity

that no brewers are admitted to mem

Evidently the promoters of the Asso-
citation feel that ex-brewers and ex-
saloonkeepers and the booze fratern-
ity in general are too disreputable to
be admitted as members. And now
the Cincinnati brewers have "jbbed
the whole works" by publicly an
nouncing that they are working

BEER KEa SENTIMENT

Here's how personal liberty for the
Americans and beer for the American
workmen is preached in Milwaukee:
Standing atop beer key in Grand
avenue stood a Syrian, who is not
naturalized. He pleaded with pass
crsby to register their sentiment and
votes for personal liberty and for the
right of American workmen to have
their beer. He had with him lot of
red, white and blue paper bunting,
with Personal Liberty" inscribed
thereon.
In broken English he urged all
liberty-loving people to wear the
bunting on their automobiles.
An examination of the bunting did
not disclose that it bore the union
label.

MRS. ASQU|TH WRITES NOTE /
TO LONDON, ENG, PAPER
Late Visitor to u. S. Admits
Likely Erred in Statistics
On Prohibition
CLAIMS LIFELONG DRY
Britishers Must Stand Together
and Fight to Save Youth
Of England

The following is the letter in full
of Mrs. Margot Asquit addressed to
the editor of the Westminster Ga
zette, London, reference to which was
made in last weeks American Issue.
Mrs. Asquith admits that she was
probably mistaken in her criticism of
Prohibition law enforcement in the
United States. The letter is in reply
to a reference by DR.. c. w. Saleeby
at the anniversary of the Band Of
Hope Union on May 10 to Mrs. As
quth's remarks upon Prohibition in
America. The letter is as follows:
ITO the Editor of the Westmin-
ster Gazette.
Dear Sir:-Sincc the publication of
my Impressions of the United
States and Canada in the Evening
Standard have read the speech of
DIR. c. w. Saleeby Chairman of the
National Birth-Ratc Commission, and
author of many scientific books and
pamphlets), and l regret if any words
of mine should convey wrong i'm

ut was perhaps unwise of me to
write at all upon Prohibition, as dur
ing my short stay I only saw par

that great community of one hundred
and ten Millions, to quote DR..
Saleeby's courteous reference to my
self in the report in the Westminster
Gazette of May II. This is quite
true. l only could write of what
saw. But l do not profess Tenn
perance. have advocated it all my
life, and what DR.. Saleeby wrote in
the Woman's Leader in September,
1921, has prompted me to write this
letter. II we are to save the youth
of this country we shall all have to
fight close together with every wea-
pom we possess. The only point
wished to make was that laws should
be enforced or amended in such a
manner as to make the common sense
of the community obey them.
II understand since l wrote my
Impressions that l have been wrong,
and that though there is a great deal
of drink concealed and consumed and
even corruption on a considerable
scale going on in the United States,
it is infinitely less than there was be-
fore Prohibition came in All DR..
Saleeby's health statistics prove this
abundantly.
Although my opinions are not
likely to be of interest to anyone, |
do not wish to be quoted as lining
up with those who think drinking
alcohol in moderation is harmless.
The enemies of Temperance are those
who drink alcohol in moderation
more than the habitual drunkards, as
the latter disgust everybody. Drink
ing alcohol can never be harmless.
The medicinal value of brandy is an
nulled in this country, and both the
health and the pleasures of youth i'm
paired by our apathy over this burn
ing question. am in complete agree
ment with Dr. Saleeby when he says
"only the race that regards its young
rencws its youth. Yours truly,
