COPENHAGEN, August 2s.-Ameri-

find that 80 per eent of the delegates
from all parts OF the world were pro-
hibitionists, found that scarcely so
per cent were convinced eff the advis-
ability OF the American experiment
The delegates now have departed
from Copenhagen. either for their
homes or for European tours.
Three methods OF combating al
coholisfn besides prohibition were dis
cussed and defended at the congress
ideal could best be approximated
through some other means, for in
L. The Danish system, whereby
spirits are made very expensive.
through deliberate taxation. This has
decreased consumption of spirits in
Denmark by 90 per cent, /.
2. The Norwegian system. whereby
only heavy wines and spirits are pro-
hibited. and light wines and beer
freely permitted.
g. The Swedish system whereby all
drinks are permitted in strictly linn
| tied quantities under state control.
Prohibition In Russia.
II is not necessary to mention. of

/! expressed by the slogan: Prohibition

geoisie drink themselves to death.
1t would be enlightening to com
pare the stati6tics of these ScandiA
navian methods with American pro.
hibitibn statistics. but unfortunately
one OF the elearest conclusions drawn
at the congress is that alcoholism,
| statistics are still SO unscientific that
| it is impossible to make an accurate
icomparison between the various couh-

face value the visitors impression
was that all methods showed ap-
proximately equal effectiveness In
| combating drunkenness and crime.
Difference In Attitude.
A sharp difference was noted be-
tween the American attitude and
European attitude on the whole SUB.
3ect. The Americans considered the
European methods good only to the
degree that they approached com :
plete prohibition, and the Europearls
generally sought To obtain beneficial
results with the minimum of inter.

| dividual liberty.
The Americans rejected all arga.
