tically every other country of the world.
No one of good sense will deny that
the enforcement of the present liquor
laws Cf the United States is fraught
with great difficulties and grave abuses.
but the remedy for the situation will
not be found in the adoption OF SyS-
tenn certainly no more successful where
it has been tried and certainly much
less adapted to our needs. The mere
cursory contemplation of the situation
that would result if the government OF
the State of New York or the State OF
New Jersey were to engage in the opera
ton of distillerieS and breweries and
the sale of their products is sufficient
to bring instant conviction that such
plan holds no solution of the liquor
problem.
With liquor manufactured and avail
able in New York, would any dry State
nearby be able to effectively enforce its
prohibition laws?
Would officials and employees of the
State-owned or controlled distilleries
and liquor stores be incorruptible and
untempted by the opportunity to dilute
and divert legal liquor" or to substi-
tute cheaper, illegitimate, untaxed,
smuggled liquor?
Would It require any less OF an
army" than at present to prevent leak
age of liquor from IS or 20 wet States
to the remainder of the States?
Would those who own present man
ufacturing facilities yield to the State
governments the opportunity for profit
in resumption of operations?
Would the sale of quarts of whisky
by the Government promote sobriety
and temperance and protect our chill
drens morals?
Would the man or woman who Graves
hard liquor at midnight be satisfied to
wait until the Government beer parlor
reopened at or in the morning?
These are some of the very practical
questions involved in the proposals to
revise the eighteenth amendment and
the laws enacted Hereunder.
