GLASGOW RAIDERS GET STILL
Despite Fact of Many Saloons in
Glasgow Illicit Stills Are Ere
quently Discovered

The Glasgow (Scotland) Evening
News of January Il, carries story of
raid on a mans home by the police, and
the discovery in the home of an illicit
still in operation, together with barrels
and other accessories Of a frst-class home
distillery.
There are two features of this story
that are commended to our friends, the
enemy, who are continually prating about
the invasion of the home in this country
by prohibition officers. They tell Us that
in Great Britain mans home is his castle
and that Britishers would never stand for
any such invasion of the personal liberty
rights as the raiding of home for booze.
The other is that in Glasgow, a city over
run with saloons, an illicit still in the
heart OF the city was found in operation,
doing big business!
American Issue correspondent who
forwards this clipping to the Issue says
that the discovery of home stills is be-
coming a common occurrence The G1as-
gov Evening News in giving the details
Of the raid, says that the police, about
half a Dozen" burst the mans door openl
Actually forced entrance into this mans
castle" after he had refused to open the
door, and there found him, his wife and
two children, and the still.
Horrors And we were told that 1icens-
ing the liquor traffic would abolish the
illicit traffic. and incidentally prevent off
GERS from invading private homes

PRESIDENT OF CHILE BACKS DRY LEAGUE
Sponsors Bill in Congress Protect Workers in Nitrate Fields from
pIotation of Saloon Keepers; Measure Fails Accomplish
Purpose Will Seek Prohibition Next

President Emiliano Figueroa-Larrain of
Chile, is sponsoring a bill in congress
which is intended to combat alcoholism
among workers in the nitrate and copper
fields OF Tarapac and Antagonafsta in
northern Chile. The bid would prohibit
the manufacture and consumption of any
beverage containing alcohol. 1t would APP
ply to these provinces except in cities,
towns and other points Of concentrated
population. There the manufacture of
beer and wine would be permitted, as
we'll as their consumption in clubs and
homes.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1928-03-01

In message accompanying the bill the
president says that if this does not check
drunkenness he will propose complete
prohibition next year A law known as
a sem-dry law was enacted for the two
provinces about year ago. This permit
ted the manufacture of wine and beer
throughout the affected territory, but pro-
hibted stronger drinks. Congress recent
ly approved a modification of this, per-
hitting consumption in clubs and homes
of beverages containing more than 10
per cent alcohol

of election is that he might carry enough
wet states in the north or east, because
OF his wet record which added to the
votes of dry southern and western states
would give him the required majority.
Better that political party go down in
defeat than to select president by such
betrayal of moral principle.
"As representatives of southeastern
states we insist not only that the south
ern delegates to the nominating conven-
tons use their influence to defeat the
men who are opposed to the prohibition
law but that they use their active inAu-
ence to secure the nomination of men
whose records will insure their active
support of the law.
The organized interests opposed to
prohibition are using all their power to
break down or nullify the Eighteenth
Amendment. And since the Anti-Saloon
League is the Church in action against
the beverage liquor traffic, this regional
conference accepts its responsibility i'll
this crisis, and we now array ourselves
in the front line of battle to see that the
will of America and the Christian church
is accomplished in the final victory for
a sober nation and the utter routing of
the outlawed liquor traffic
To-day the issue joins specifically in
the Eighteenth Amendment 1t is OPEN
ly and persistcntly demanded that the
prohibition enforcement law shall be SO
modified by weakening amendments that
genuine enforcement will become in
creasig1y difficult.
An open campaign is being waged to
nominate for the presidency candidates
who because OF their hostility to the pro-
hibiton law and its strict enforcement
will be able to secure the votes of sui
fcient number of wet citizens to turn
the scales in doubtful states"
Call for Law Observance
The resolutions also called for obscr-
vance of the dry law "by every loyal cit
izen' and for law enforcement by every
city, county, state and federal official
recommending that the public conscience
be modified to this end so that "rever-
enee for law shall become the political re-
1gion of the nation They also urge
state departments OF public instruction to
emphasize in all public school courses of
instruction on alcohol and its effects, and
recommend the action OF the Leagues
national convention in setting up de-
partment of education, publicity and re-
search, to inform the people of the facts
concerning prohibition.

YOUTHS REVOLT-WHAT IS IT?
Prof. Irving Fisher Thinks 1t Is Re-
volt Against Disrespect of Law
by the Parents

At the conference on American Youth
and Prohibition, held at International
House, New York City, on March ), Pro-
fessor Irving Fisher. Of Yale university,
speaking on Youth and the Economic
Results OF Prohibition said in part:
There is a great deal of talk about the
revolt OF youth against the previous gem
Grafton. This does not necessarily mean
that youth will, on the whole, revolt
against the Eighteenth Amendment. 1t
may mean, rather, that youth will re-
volt against the drunkenness and disrc-
spect for law of their parents \ Bos-
ton lady told me that she had recently
given up smoking because her son had
demonstrated with her, and that she was
going to give up drinking likewise lest
he should reprove her for not observing
the law.
"The amount OF drinking among the
youth of this country has often been ex-
aggerated The diminishing totals Of first
offenders in New York City on the
charge OF drunkenness affords important
testimony. Over two hundred college
and university heads who answered the
QUESTIONABLE sent out by the Literary
Digest testified to the beneficial effect
of Prohibition on the student bodies and
on youth in general; the conclusion was
that There are actually fewer drinkers in
the colleges now than in the days when
there were only one-third of the students
Youth naturally demands personal
liberty. Real personal liberty, the liberty
to live and to enjoy the full use OF our
faculties, is increased by total abstinence.
The results OF the medico-actuarial inves-
tigation based on statistical data from
forty-three American life insurance COM
panies, covering an experience of twen-
ty-fiye years, show that even moderate
drinking is harmful, that it increases IA
tigue, decreases capacity not only for
physical but also for mental work. and
increases mortality as we'll as decreases
earning power. Youth desires the high
est liberty to realize its full capacities.
"In spite of the lax enforcement of the
Eighteenth Amendment, statistics show
that it has produced tremendous econom-
ic benefits. Although certain economists
oppose prohibition for personal reasons,
none seem to oppose it on economic
grounds. Every economist in the country
was invited to express any opposition on
economic grounds at Round Table on
Prohibition, held under the auspices of
the American Economic Association, in
St. Louis, year ago. While many OPP
posed prohibition for other reasons, not
one was willing to oppose it for economic
reasons!
investigations have shown that en-
ployers are in general, favorable to pro-
hibition as far as it affects production and
business. On the whole, prosperity has
been greater since the enactment of the
Eighteenth Amendment. .
