Il started on what I intended to
be a campaign of education for the
public regarding bootlegging and

and law-respecting people have no
respect for the governments at

think it is Just another form of
persecution. I wanted to tell them
just what enforcement officers were
driving at. That as long as the
law Is on Uncle Sans statute books
they not only ought TO respect It but
help to enforce It for every time the
prohibition law is violated It helps
lust that much to breed disrespect
for all laws. So that is the line of
talk l have been giving them. along

bootleggers and bootlegging and the
way those who think they are get

them that at least 10 per cent of the

country is made in Illicit stills right
here at home. retailed to sucker

and even faxed crks. OF course. I
knew they would not believe it, so
