The prohibition law is not q failure,
and while enforcement OF 1t probably
never will reach the 100 per cent poin,
OF efficiency, it rapidly is approaching
the highest possible point, R. A
Haynes, National Prohibition Director,
said in an address. before the Law
Enforcement League OF Chicago.
No law can be enforced 100 per

the chief obstacles in enforcement Q!

"The vets have spread carefully
planned propaganda to make il appear
that the prohibition Law is a failure and
cannot be enforced" said Director
Haynes.
propaganda says crime has In
creased since prohibition. Facts show
that the crime wave is worldwide, and
that it would be just as sensible to
blame it on woman suffrage as on
