A SOBER WET-LAND
By Howard Mingos

In offering evidence that Sweden is
learning to make drinking zone of the
fine arts" the writer reminds one of the
stage queen in Hamlet, who did protest
too much" In protesting that Sweden's
five-year experiment in setting bounds
around the individual drinker is bearing
better fruit than our five years of prohibit
ing the traffic, he describes situations
which few who understand the long range
effects of alcohol would like to see dupli-
Gated in the United States. For example:
1t is the rule rather than the exception
for an adult to drink, publicly and pri-
vately. :. Respectable drinkers are be-
ginning to use alcohol as we take our cof-
fee, tea, or milk. Anybody can buy
a drink if he orders meal He
can have as much as he cares to drink as
long as he remains sober enough to drink
it. F.. Dining is one of the most popular
pastimes. ;. 1t is customary to order a
bottle of wine with ones food, and pos
sibly stronger appetizer In those res
taurants the walters think it uncomnonly
strange if patron fails to buy wine .
Stenographers and shop girls may be
found drinking beer with their MONDAY
luncheon in any of these restaurants,
many of which are gaily decorated with
grapevine designs.
By the emphasis which the writer lays
on the responsibility of the drinkers, he
gives support to the statements of some
critics of the system, that it has popular
lied the possession of the mot" book by
making it sort of badge of responsibility.
1t is issued annually to every applicant
who qualities for it.
In it one is credited with the amount of
liquor he may buy monthly. There is no

had any prohibition did not disturb the

Indians for Prohibition
The fight for the Indians right to ex-
clude the liquors was led by such men as
Hail Wajiuddin. N. c. Kelllar Maulvi
Muhammed Yakub, DR.. Data, Jamnadas
Mehta, Sir Purshotamdas Thakurdas and
others. 1t was lineup of the races-the
Indian races advocating prohibition for
their own country, while the foreign ele-
ment clamored for the liquor.
Climax to Pussyfoots Tour
The adoption of this far-reaching reso-
luton is a sort of climax to the address
that "Pussyfoot' Johnson made before
the Legislative Assembly four years ago
on his tour in India. -Four days after that
event. the Legislative Assembly adopted
resolution urging the provincial and local
authorities TO exercise what powers they
might have in the Encouragement of the
drink traffic. 1t was conceded that the
authority of the National Legislative AS
sembly was limited to dealing with Euro
pean liquors through the regulation of i'm
ports. It did not appear that the national
government had any power beyond this.
In the discussion of this original proposal,
the British members lined up for booze as

limit to his wine privileges, within reason,
as long as he is in good standing. . If
he is the head OF household, he may buy
more than if he lives alone. He is not al
lowed more than gallon of hard liquors
a month. . e.. A responsible man whose
family or friends have not reported him
as being inprovident or negligent of his
farnily's welfare, may buy an extra allot-
rnent when he entertains friends in his
Lome-always within reason, say a few
drinks for each person.
A few drinks of hard liquor, be it noted
per person. Note also the extension Of
limits for the family man. Yet the writer
elsewhere speaks Of the system as afford
ing contrast to the home-drinlking that
prevailed before the system was adopted.
And note further that the allowance of
one gallon of spirits per month would
amount to II gallons year, over four
times the largest per capita spirit con-
sumption the United States ever had, 2.86
gallons, in 1860.
The stores where the mot book owner
buys his supplies are described, both as to
Responsibility" and popularity:
About one million mot books are issued
annually in Sweden, an average to one in
every six persons in the population. Some
of the retail stores have as many as 5000
patrons living in that district, men and
women of all degrees. There one finds
the man of business, alongside his clerk,
professor, clergyman, and a porter,
woman of social prominence and her
charwoman. In some stores business is
SO brisk that the employees have no time
to go out for luncheon.
A better system for popularizing and
promoting the formation of alcoholic
drinking habits could scarcely be devised.
And five years is too short time for the
national auitage.

usual while the Indian members cham
pioned prohibition and won, in spite of
the protests of the Europeans.
Provincial Legislatures Study Problem
Since this dramatic advent of PUSSY
foot Johnson four years ago, journeying
about in the interest of the World League
Against Alcoholism, much water has
flowed under the bridge. Most of the
provincial legislative assemblies appointed
committees to study the question as to
how best to proceed to get rid of the liq
uor. One such committee, that of Bonn
bay, reported in favor of the gradual re-
ducton of the supply of liquor and pro-
claimed the ultimate goal Of their legisla-
ton to be prohibition of the traffic en-
tirely. This recommendation was adopted
by the provincial assembly and is now be-
ing carried out. The province of Punjab
actually enacted local option law, but
the British authorities refused to allow it
to go into effects because it affected the
revenue"
During these four years, the agitation
for freedom from the drink has been 60
ing on all over India. Where the aspira-
tons of the people have been suppressed
by foreign power, resort has been taken
to boycotts, picketing and irregular ex-
plosions of such nature. But now the
highest Legislative authority in India has,
by an overwhelming vote, declared that
prohibition is the ultimate policy of the
country.

SWEDEN'S SUCCESSFUL
PROHIBITION"

PROHIBITION"
Another article putting the Bratt Sys-
tenn in the limelght is summarized and
quoted by the Digest. The source of the
information is a contributor in the Lon
don Spectator, who calls Norway's liquor
system, which applies only to liquors
stronger than Il per cent, prohibition.
Sweden, looking on, found that even that
much of prohibition Clearly meant that a
stronger and more poisonous spirit would
be consumed in large quantities by all
classes, who would at the same time suf-
fer in character from the habit of legal
evasion"
Then follows this Illuminating state
ment concerning the future of the beer
and wine solution of the alcohol question:
It seemed entirely reasonable a priori
that alcohol of a greater strength than II
per cent should be absolutely prohibited.
Beer and light wines, which came outside
the ban, should content any reasonable
being. Unfortunately, THEY DID NOT.
Capitals supplied)
The Bratt System appears in this ac-
count to have been a complete surrender
of any attempt to control intemperance
by limiting the alcoholic strength of liq-
uors in favor of an attempt to limit the
amount of hard liquor a person might
buy within given time, even at the cost
of making drinking respectable" and
popularizing the drinking custom. Judged
by per capita consumption Of spirits, it
has had less effect than the early total alb
st1nence movement, which reduced con-
sumption from 40 liters in 1929 to % liters
in 1850, at a time when home disti1ling
was permitted. After the abolition of
home distilling, in 1855 there was fur
ther decline, to 9.5 1ters. The first ten
years of the Gothenburg system (adopted
1869 made little change. The figures
stood even higher, 118 for the hve-year
period l87l-1875. Then, under renewal
of the educational work, which had been
allowed to lapse under the new legislation,
there was a downward movement which
reached OF liters in the five year period
1911 to 1915, after the beginning of the
World War. The Bratt System was
adopted while the War was on, 1917,
when the per capita consumption of spir-
its in Sweden is recorded as IL 1iters and
the next year IL. With the return of
normally it rose and in 1920, under the
Bratt System, stood again nearly as high
as before its adoption 60 Since then
consumption has been lower, 38 in 1922,
the lowest point, 80 in 1923, which is only
l.3 liters lower than in 1916, and that on
rise from the preceding year.
Whatever credit is given to the Bratt
System it must not be allowed to over
shadow the constant anti-a1cohol instruc-
ton that is being given in Sweden in the
schools and to groups of young people.

sembly of India adopted a resolution to
the effect that the ultimate policy of the
government should be prohibition of pro-
duction, sale and importation of intoxicat-
ing squors, save for medicinal and scen-
thc purposes" The resolution further
recommended that as the first step in car
rying out this policy, provincial govern
ments should be directed TO Immediately
inaugurate policy of vesting the power
of fixing, by system of local option, the
location and number of shops selling in
toxcating liquors in either self-governng
bodies or licensing boards specially con-
stituted for the purpose and elected by

effect the foreign dominating influence
Indians voice the consciousness Of the peo-
''liberty' till they were red in the face.
The Indians pleaded pathctically for the
liberty of the people of India to eliminate
the drink traffic which was so runous to
their people and which traffic had been
foiSted upon their country by the Euro
pean power.
The matter originated in resolution to
the same effect introduced previously by
Hail Wajiuddin and which had been quite
widely discussed in the country When
the resolution came up in the House, Col
onel Crawford led the British onslaught
on the proposal by offering an amend
ment which amounted to negation of
the resolution itself For this reason, it
was ruled out of order Other amend
ments were ruled out of order because
they introduced other subjects, among
them the prohibition of drugs. These
amendments, however, were not unfrend-
ly to the original resolution, but were in
troduced by prohibitionists who wished
to include drugs as we'll as liquors into
the inhibited articles. In these respects,
parliamentary usage in India differs from
that of Western countries. In India,
amendments to a resolution must not
amount to a negation of the resolution or
go outside its scope.
After a discussion which occupied most
of the day, the Indian members concen-
trated on Mr., Kelkar's amendment, which
was really an elaboration of Mr.. Wajiud-
dins' original proposal, the latter with
drawing his original resolution in favor
of Mr.. Kelkar's ameaded wording Thus

Fight for Liquor Led by Col. Crawford
The fight of the British members in be-
half of the liquor interests was led by Col
onel Crawford and Sir Basil Blackett.
They told in eloquent speech what good
stuff liquor was and burst out laughing
when the Indian members told of the suf-
fering of the workers because of the liq-
uor. Mr.. Crawford told how in America
admissions to hospitals were increased
because of prohibition. This valuable in
