Crime in Chicago

The prevalence of crime in Chicago is used by enc
mics of the Eighteenth Amendment in an effort to dis
credit prohibition police report reveals that in
Chicago murders most prevalent in certain sections
i'll fact confined almost exclusively these sections
One of the sections in which there many MUIR
ders is almost exclusively populated by negroes. Chief
Collins in address not long ago pointed out that
many of these negroes ured to Chicago by
pulous labor agents and then abandoned without money
and without a decent place to live Under such condi-
tons murder and other crimes bound to result Be-
fore the and before prohibition the negro situation
in Chicago nothing like it is now.
Another murder section in Chicago is populated largely
by Italians. They wine drinkers.
third murder section is also made up mostly of
people who retain foreign and habits great
degree One of these is the and habit of drink
ing, a custom which the Chicago Tribune and other
booze defenders praise and seek to Amercanize Again
and again the American Issue has pointed out
and conditions behind facts and figures presented by
vets in support of the wet program Now t-appears
that the murder figures in Chicago when understood
not unfavorable to the prohibition plan
Prohibition is the best method yet discovered to de-
the beverage of alcoholic liquors Other
ditions equal there bound to be less crime il there is
less drinking Under any conditions, there is less crime
under prohibition than there would be if the saloons
were wide open with the sale of booze unrestrained.

Attending Court

The newspapers reported that group of bootleggers
from Kankakee Danvile had decided advice of
counsel to plead guilty and fight against conviction.
Then a crowd OF citizens, mostly women, who had taken
the time to drive all the way from Kankakee to Danvie
entered the court ROOM Newspapers report that imme
dately most of the accused bootleggers seeing the
aroused citizens from their home town, stampeded COIL
trary to advice of counsel pleaded guilty, and took their
punishment.
They say it is hard to fool bootlegger When they
saw that the folks back home interested in having
the law enforced both logic and intuition told them that
they might as we'll surrender.
If a fraction of the time spent in complaining against
1aw1essness were spent in attending court when the
booteggers are trial law enforcement will be made
more effective

Beer

In Ontario, Canada, 2.5 beer was legal. The vets
were not satisfied They apparently have succeeded in
securing IA beer law This percentage applies beer
for consumption in Ontario For export it may be
brewed to contain to per of alco-
hol They say that the stronger stuff is for the Amer
trade.
Ontaro's experience is interesting and should be
tightening TO the people of the United States. If the
vets here should succeed in raising the alcoholic
tent to 275 they would not be satisfied They would
raise it again high Congress might set the mark
and the Supreme Court might permit under the Eight
zenith Amendment
Even in Ontario after they get their "A beer they will
not be satisfied Much of the stronger stuff permitted
presumably for export, will probably be consumed
through bootleg channels in Ontario itself.
The theory that A beer will put end to bootegging
stronger stuff in Ontario is deusion This theory is
proven false by both science and experience Beer
has and will do away with the craving for stronger
stuff.
Beer is like fire. And the way to put it out is with
water Beer creates, never quenches the thirst for
whisky
The American Issue extends sympathy to the voters
OF Ontario who expressed preference against stronger
beer in the recent elections. 1t may for the
best however because those who will learn by pre-
cept likely to learn by example. The United
States is dry because learned from examples
under local option that complete prohibition is best.

Arthur Brisbane Please Note

Mr.. Brisbane your editorials are published IN many
newspapers and read by thousands of people For many
weeks your Today column has been largely devoted to
arguments in favor of preparedness in the air for the
defense Of America You have constructed wonderful
arguments out of obscure items that would have
been missed entirely by editors who less observing
and less ingenious than you.
You have viewed with alarm everything Immediately
or remotely dangerous America if unprotected by air
planes. You have pointed with pride to every develop
men tending towards airplane defense in by America.
But Mr.. Brisbane, do you know that it takes men to
operate airplanes? Take notice time when
flies low enough by and you will see that the thing
going by itself but is being operated and guided
by pilot You know what often happens when an
automobile driver drinks little wine. Not enough to
be intoxicated, OH no, not in his opinion But the
accident proves that it enough slow up the bran
dull the eye, deaden control.
Possibly you have heard Of the aviator who had
taken little wne and flying low tried between
what he thought two trees and collided head on
with the only tree the landing field.
Now, Mr. Brisbane, can't you understand that if air
planes are going to play the part in American develop
ment and defense that you desire and predict human
conditions be prepared in step with mechanical
progress 1t will be to reduce the drink habit
to a minimum. High speed machinery including the au-
tomoble demands sobriety. Without sober pilots no
airplane program could be from military
commercial standpoint Beer and wine keep alive the
drink habit. Beer and wine feed the spark of appetite
that so often flames forth to parayze the and
beaded the judgment.
How you be for arplanes and at the same time be
for beer and wine in America?

Ontario Reveals Vets Purpose in Illinois

The masters of strategy i'll the wet camp realized all
the time that the Anti Saloon League did the wsest
thing when it refused fall into their beer referendum
trap in 1922. Many drys, however, thought that the
Ant-Saoon League and every other dry organization
in the had made mistake when it decided
into sham battle with the vets in a referen
dunn that would not settle anything and would bind
anybody.
The situation in Ontario now reveals exactly what
might have happened in Illinois had the Anti Saloon
League lacked foresight In Ontario a referendum adj
visory in its under the laws of the province,
suited in victory for the drys The majority voted in
favor Of maintaining the Ontario Temperance act. The
wet campaign heavily financed with the aid of Eu-
ropean wine interests while the drys lacked thorough
organization and money The result nevertheless
a dry victory by margin.
Now what happens? With the power to do so in the
Legislature under the law the result of the referendum
is dsregarded and legislation is passed permitting an
increase in the alcoholic content of beer.
In Illinois it the purpose of the vets to lure the
drys into referendum campaign If the drys had fallen
into this trap it would have meant the spending of much
time money and effort in attempt to win majority
against per cent beer. This would have made inn
possible give the necessary attention the legislative
campaign. Under such conditions the VETS with their
wealth and their determination to break through in Ii
nois, might have captured majority in the Legis-
ature. Then with the power to pass beer legislation,
beer legislation would have been passed regardless of
the result of the advisory referendum just done
in Canada
The situation in Canada is conclusive and striking
proof O. the wisdom of the drys i'll Illinois in their
usal to be trapped by the referendum scheme Anyone
who imagnes that advisory referendum would
strain the vets, knows very little of the nature of the
enemy that must be conquered protect prohibition.

Wine

Beware of wine, DIR. Ernest Cherrngton, editor in
chief OF the American Issue and secretary of the World
League Against Alcoholism has repeatedly sounded the
warning that wine neress the greatest enemies of
prohibition.
Ultimately wine will settle the prohibition question
one way or another The wisdom in Dr. Cherrngton's
warnings is becoming and more apparent. Gradu-
ally wine is taking the offensive against prohibition.
Propaganda is and more coored with wine argu-
ments. Wine interests are becoming aggressive in
their cooperation with other defeat prohibition
