WOULD ENLIST AID
OF UNITED STATES

Prof Robert Hercod, PHI. D.,
of Lausanne, Switzerland, sug-
gested at the convention that
diplomatic intervention on the
part of Prohibition countries
should be made as a means of
counteracting the pressure be-
ing exerted against Prohibition
by the wine producing countries
of Europe. He said:
Hard economic fact has
forced powerful wine producing
countries now that the United
States market is closed to
them, to seek disposal of their
vintage i'll smaller countries
whose governments are not
powerful enough to raise seri-
Gus objections. In Norway
where spirit have been prohi-
bted for six years, Spain has
now secured an agreement by
which Spanish wines can enter.
The Norway government has
pledged itself not to enact
proh;5itory laws 50 long as the
agreement IS in force.

INDIA TO FOLLOW U. S.

"The people of India rejoice that the
nation first in the history of humanity
has resolved on Prohibition, and at the
time of inspiration, when the whole of
India was trying to throw off the drink
traffic, the American people, out OF
their endless generosity, sent their
warrior and apostle, Pussyfoot John
son. And Prohibition and the recep-
ton and cordiality which India could
offer TO Pussyfoot johnson show the
soul of India.
India has recl,oned and has deter
mined to follow dry America, and to
cooperate with the World League
Against Alcoholism with all her
strength, all her inspiration, all her
power, to drive drink out of the world
and to secure stainless, drinlless

The Challenge of the Problem


This new age OF international CO.
operation is the age in which the great
problems of our day must be solved.
They must tn ,refore be solved in har-
mony with the spirit of the age and
with due regard to the conditions, obi
cations and responsibilities which the
age imposes. Every nation today is
alive to the spirit of progress and re-
form. Slowly but surely the races Of
mankind are turning their faces away
from the dead past and are setting
them fint-like toward the future.
The world liquor problem sounds a
call to the men and women OF the ma
tons. The spirit of that call demands
cooperative, aggressive and wise ac-
ton in the interest OF sober world.
Thoughtfully, courageously, confident
ly, the World League Against Alco-
holism needs the call, accepts the chal-
lenge and moves forward.

Dpp0RTUNENESS FOR
WORLD MOVEMENT
|. Continued from Page -
Interference in Domestic Affairs of
Other Nations


, In line with other activities of the
international liquor traffic there is also
being employed the age-old argument
presented by every great international
evil about interference in the domestic
affairs of other countries. The inter
national liquor interests might well
have raised the same cry when the
ipeople of America and other nations
fcontributed their millions and sent
kheir representatives into Central Eu-
rope for the relief of homeless children
after the Great War The same pro-
liquor cry might also have been raised
against the people of the different
countries of the western world who
have attempted from time to time to
relieve human suffering and starvation
in China, Russia and elsewhele. The
eame cry might also be raised against
all activities of the Christian church in
Foreign missionary lands.
The superficial theory of the inter-
national liquor interests does not har-
sTnonize with the joint international ac-
ttion for the protection of Christians in
ithe old Turkish Empire nor with the
EAllied Relief Expedition in the Chinese
Boxer uprising, nor with the interna-
kional agreements and activities for
the suppression of piracy on the high
seas. 1t is not in accord, moreover
with the international action for the
suppression of opium in the Orient, in
tcrnationai activities for the suppress
sion of white slavery, or the several
brussels conference agreements for the
protection of native races. The cry of
the world liquor traffic against the in
Evasion of other countries by the anti
liquor forces of any country presents
"a conception of protection and license
for which modern, civilization has no
proper place. 1t is not merely the
demand of the road hog against the
proper rights of all others who travel
the International highway; it is indeed
the last cry of the social and moral
savage against the inevitable advance
of civilization.
Economic Chaos and the Worlds

quilted the nations OF the world pre-
sents an international ECONOMIC. Prob

GrIat Britain is the only one of the
European nations engaged in the great
war which has been able to balance
her budget since the war. Authorities
on national and international finance
insist that at best the liquidation of this
indebtedness will require a hundred
years, and many of the most compe-
tsdt authorities persist in declaring
fhat most of the indebtedness of the
countries of Europe can never be paid.

The Time to Strike is Now

tlIHc for ,fnternatiOnal action against
alcoholism. Governmental reconstruc-
.tion and reorganization are the order
of the day in p radically every nation.
h'he remarkable benefits derived from
restrictions and prohibitions placed on
the liquor traffic in most countries dur
ing the World War are still fresh in
the public mind. The liquor traffic
Just now is willingly shouldering the
burden of taxation III the several ma
tions in the hope that it may thus
intrench and protect itself against the
rising tide of Prohibition.
Oriental countries that have been
under to.al abstinence religions for
centuries are beginning to feel the eff
feet of the penetrating methods of the
world liquor traffic which threatens
greater evils for the Orient than even
those of opium.
Prohibition has :iade remarkable
progress in recent years. 1t has COM
PEELED the thoughtful consideration of
the civilized world. If its progress
should now be checked. generations
must pass and the liquor evil in all
probability must play far more
deadly part in the wrecl<ing Of the
worlds civilization before another such
opportunity is presented.
Formative Period for Moral and
Religious Forces
Moreover, this is the formative Pc
Rod as regards the temperance reform
for the religious and moral forces of
practically every nation. Those forces
TOR the most part were not compelled
to lace the issue until America adopted
Prohibition. Among those forces to-
day, however, convictions are being
formed, decisions are being recorded,
definite policies for the future are be-
ing settled, and the choice between
different methods OF dealing with the
liquor traffic is being made. Now, of
all times, there is presented the oppor-
tunity for effective effort that may in
f,ience the moral progress OF the
world for centuries to come.
The opportunity thus presented car
ries with it an obligation which can
not be ignored.
The Significance of the New Age
Among the most important contrib
uting factors in the movement of the
new age toward international cooper
alton undoubtedly has been that of
. popular education, which by creating
knowledge OF conditions, govern
ments, language, and characteristics
of the peoples of all countries, has
paved the way for international under
standings and relationships that are
now inevitable.
The diffusion of cheap daily press
has greatly assisted this new Renais-
sance. Trade and commerce, bank
ing. industry, labor movements, physi-
cal science and invention, all have an
international significance.
The stock exchange, market values,
wages, housing conditions and indus
trial welfare activities are materially
+ influenced by international relations.
Railroads, steam ships, electric lines,
automobiles, submarines and airships,
In comparatively few years have con.
verted scattered and widely separated
countries into great neighborhood
Of nations.

do have brought the remotest sections
