Senator William BOrah Speaks On
 ProhibitiOn==Canadian System

Drunkenness among women mas increased 53 per cent.
 These are official reports and not denied, except outside of Canada.
 The Saskatchewan liquor Board said:
 The sale of hard liquor in creased 33 per cent in the last two years. Bootlegging increas- ed in this Province Ill per cent in the first year.
 The Alberta liquor board said that 6O,O00 permits were issued the first year; two years later, 144,OOO permits. The greatest problem is moonshine bootleg ging. Four million gallons of liquor were sold in the second year without control.
 During the first four months of government control the On- tario board said that 22O,44O permits were issued and people were buying liquor at the rate of $1,OOO,000 per week.
 MT. President, let us turn to a different source than the off, cial record, and that is to the re- presentativeS of the church. I am not going to take members of some organization which has for it's particular purpose the ad- vocacy of prohibition of the li- quor law, but call upon those who are interested from the standpoint of Christian minis ters. Father Lavergne, speaking of government ownership in his paper, said:
 with due respect to the head of our government I must say that since they have become the advocates of beer a nd booze and have set the seal of Govern ment approval upon drinking, they have almost annihilated the work of the church through years of preaching temperance and sobriety."
 Cardinal Begin said:
The Alaska fisherman., 1929-04-15

OaCC1o we nave 1OuS41U lOA OAAO virtue of temperance in our dio- cese, our beloved coadjutor and the group of ecclesiastical and lay apostles who have aided him in his efforts. After about 15 years work they had almost con- quered the enemy, we were over joyed in foreseeing the end of the destruction caused by the excesses of alcohol. But alas, there is now spreading every where the intolerabIe abuse we denounce, and in particular the surreptitious fabrication of an alcohol more harmful than any other to the health of the body and the soul"
 Let us turn to the newspapers. They are a source of infOrma- tion. The Vancouver Sun said:
 'The people decided on a pol icy of restricting alcoholic con- sumption to the lowest possible degree. The government has made this piling up of revenue the chief purpose of the act. The British Columbia liquor system has actually failed"
 Sir Hugh Mcdonald, son of the famous John A. Mcdonald, said:
 There is just as much un- lawful drinking under the gov- ernment control act as there ever was under prohibition. The present law was in the very na- ture of things difficult of en- forcement. It was far less diff lcult to secure convictions under prohibition than under govern ment control
 The World, published at Van couver, said:
 Rum runners, gunmen, thugs and all the parasites which thrive on the miasma of the un- derworld of the Pacific Coast, are fostered by the policy now in force. Calculations show
The Alaska fisherman., 1929-04-15

any difference what you do or how you try or how small your efforts may be, wherever the li- quor traffic can fasten it's fangs upon progress, progress dies.
 Let us take one illustration. Over in Canada they had pro- hibitiOn in a number of prov inces; have forgott ejnuSt how many. Then along came the moderates, those who said that man has to have some liquor. Get rid of the bootlegger. Get rid of corruption. Get rid of de- stroying our young men and our young women. Therefore let us adopt government control"
 The argument in Canada was that by this method they would be rid of those things which my able friend thinks we can be rid of in this country by going back to State rights. We will exam inc that in a few moments.
 What happened under the Ca- nadian law? Let us go first to the official record. I have re- ferred to this elsewhere. I have been accused of being misin- formed. was over in Canada last summer and the summer be- fore. I am not misinformed.
 The British Columbia liquor board reports:
 Since the opening of the beer parlors the sale of hard liquors' has increased 50 per cent. As much liquor is sold by bOotleg- gers as is sold by the Govern ment stores.
 That is the way Canada got rid of the bootlegger. It does not make any difference, I re- peat, what we do; the lawbreak- CT is there.
 The Quebec Liquor Commits sion said:
 Sale of hard spirits increas- ed 32,275 gallons in one year.
