LIQUOR TRAFFIC DRAINS
POCKETBOOKS
One Hundred and Fifty Millions
Wrung by Greedy Traffic
From Antipoders
FAR EXCEEDS PENSIONS
Astounding Totals Almost Equal
Receipts OF All Railway
Lines

According to the Australian Prohi-
bition Year Book for 1922, the COM
monwealth drink bill for the year
ended June &c. 1921, the last figures
available was G29,407, $50, nearly
$150,000,000 in American money.
The total amount of Friendly Soci-
ETY. contributions representing thrift
was e1,4S7,l05. Thus, the drink bill
representing waste was nearly
twenty times the thrift amount.
Invalid and old age pensions
amounted to G44l1,62o. Australia
spent more than six and one-half times
as much for liquor.
War pensions for the year ended
June 30, 1920, totaled G5,S72,770. This
was about one-ffth the amount spent
for liquor.
The states of the commonwealth
spent more money for booze than for
brains. The money spent on educa-
ton (all forms) and for science and
the arts was G6,608,442 a little more
than one-ffth of the amount spent for
liquor.
All the several state charities spent
G2,855,9oo. The business which helps
to make these charities necessary took
out of the pockets OF Australians more
than ten times that amount.
The value OF gold produced in 1920
was G5,494,083, 1t took nearly six
times all the gold value to pay for the
years liquor indulgence.
The income of the municipalities, ex-
GLIDING loans, was 910,23362o. The
income of the liquor trade was almost
three times as much. The gross rev.
enue of the postal department was
G6,744,972. The receipts of the liquor
shops was nearly four and one-half
times as much.
The gross revenue of all the rail-
roads in the commonwealth, including
the federal lines, was ESP, 109,519.
The revenue of the liquor business,
which often interferes with the rail-
road business, comes within 92,701,-

FEDERAL DRY DEPT. STATES
FISCAL YEAR DEBT. FREE
Heretofore Deficits Have Faced
Department at Beginning
of New Year
SUPPLY OF LIQUOR CUT
Alcohol Situation Better Under
Control; Smuggling Due
to Go Next

Prohibition Commissioner Haynes
in an interview in the Philadelphia
North American OF July 8 says:
1--WE start the fiscal year without
the usual deficit in funds and an APP
preparation OF $7,225,000 for operating
expenses this year. This record alone
speaks volumes because last year and
the year before the Prohibition unit
faced large deficit and we were linn
tied in appropriations to conduct the
work during the new year.
I'VE set out to accomplish three
things and we believe we have sue
ceeded. First, we cut down the supply
of red liquors. second, we have got
ten under control and are getting a
better foothold each day on the alco-
hol situation; third, we are concen-
trating all our efforts on preventing
the smuggling of liquor into this coun-
try from foreign countries.
1.-TWO representatives of foreign
countries visited me in Washington
this week. They said they had trav-
elled through New York, Philadelphia
and several other large eastern cities.
They saw only two persons under the
influence OF liquor in New York Con-
trasted with conditions in London and
other foreign cities the situation here
is amazing, they said.
with fleet of fast motor launches,
airplanes and high-powered automo-
bi1es, the Prohibition unit is deter
mined to stamp out smuggling We
are holding daily conferences with
representatives OF foreign countries
asking their help. The situation on
the Canadian and Mexican borders was
never better than it is today. The So
luton of the smuggling game must
come through treaties with foreign
countries and that can not be accom-
plished over night, but we are rapidly
coming to it
"The whole country is awakening
to the good being accomplished by
Prohibition despite the malicious
propaganda being circulated by the
liquor interests and persons favoring
light wines and beers"
Major Haynes denied reports of a
six million dollar rum fleet riding at
anchor thirty miles off New York Bay,
despite articles published as coming
from Prohibition Director Day of New
York.

and so Harper's says this putting on
of the political screw induced
otherwise honorable men to break
their promise, but we have cause for
thanl>fulness that l20 of them pos
sessed honesty and courage enough
to defy the ultimatum. Robert Horne
showed that he was in a conciliatory
mood by his suggestion of a reduc-
tion of taxes for clubs and admitted
that the increase Of taxes on beer had
been so extraordinary that it de-
served early consideration, therefore
taxes lowered. The liquor interests
hope next year will bring the de-
crease hoped"

Prohibition also had a lot to do

can't do good work on sundaes. In
the days when the saloon gave vim

new SOCIETY TO PROMOTE
EAST INDIA PROHIBITION
Green Crescent" Organized in
Constantinople, to Enter Dry
Fight in East
TURKS SUPPORT IT
Anti-Alcohol Conferences Held in
All Parts of Rum-cursed
Land Contemplated
(By J. H. Larimore)


Ono of the organizations counted
on to give valiant help in the dry
cause in India is the Green Crescent
Society, according to w. Z. pussy
FOOT Johnson.
That organization, founded in Con-
stantinople three years ago, has the
protection and kindly assistance of
the high functionaries of Turkey. I'm
der the honorary presidency of His
Imperial Highness, the Crown Prince
Abdul Medjid and the Ri. Rev. Shey-
kul-Islam Haidary Zade 1brahim Eff
fendee, and the active presidency Of
Prof. DR.. Mazhar Osman Bey, the as
ISOLATION has been assured the assist
ance. of hundreds of physicians, en-
gineers and chemists, as well as of
the students OF the Turkish Univer-
sity, and from the imperial medical,
engineering and C h e mi stry bigh
schools.
The protection of the medical as
sociations also is assured, according
to Dr. Bey. Many newspapers are
presenting the cause of the Green
Crescent to the public.
Further, according to DR.. Bey, the
Green Crescent is holding conferences
in all Turkish civil and military high
schools. The conferences, he says,
are bringing joy to the people.
"The selling and using of alcoholic
drinks are prohibited by law in Ana
tolian towns writes DR.. Bey. al
though the present conditions OF Con
stantinople are not favorable to that
purpose, the association has sue
ceeded in closing many wine-shops
and drink-selling places"
The object of the Green Crescent
is to fight against the extension of
alcoholism, its constitution says. Its
program is largely educational. The
steps it purposes to take are as fol-
lows.
ITO enlighten minds on the subject
of the injurious effects of alcoholism
by the giving of lectures and the
holding of mass meetings as well as
by the publication of articles and
leaflets.
ITO take forward steps before COM
peteat authorities for obtaining the eff
ficient teaching of hygiene in the pri-
mary schools.
I. ITO secure. the treatment OF alco-
holic addicts in hospitals; to encour-
age the participation of such addicts
in abstinence societies; to rescue
their families and to supervise the
education of their children.
ITO bring before the executive
powers and legislators their duty to
ADOPT all effective measures against
the extension OF alcoholism, as well
as to persuade them to elaborate to
the same end the preventive laws that
may be applicable.
To convoke in Turkey an anti-al-
cohoiisn congress and to participate
in it with such other countries as may
send their delegates.
"The organization has both active
and honorary members, The active
members take direct part in the fight
against alcoholism. The honorary
members supply contributions for the
success of the fight. The honorary
members pay each Turkish pound
annually. The honorary members con-
tribute whatever they wish.
