24.--The American brand Of
prohibition is too revolution
airy for the human race, ac-
cording to statement at
tributed to George Harvey,
American ambassador to Great
Britain, by the newspaper
Western Morning News today.
According to this newspaper,
the sudden stoppage Of all
alcoholic drinks was too violent
for the habits of the people in
the opinion of the American
diplomat. The statement was
attributed to Mr.. Harvey that
prohibition would lead to
modification before it could be
reconciled to public opinion"
The ambassador was quoted
as saying that he preferred
England's way of dealing with
the drink problem through
temperance, although he would
never vote for repeal of
American prohibition.
Time and regeneration will
establish prohibition as one Of
the inalienable principles Of the
American Government, Mr..
Harvey was quoted as predict
ing.
