FINLAND DRYS HOLD The LINE
Vets Busy disappearing Prohi-
bition in Finland; the Facts
Down to Date by One
Who Knows

The Chicago Sunday Tribune, MAJ ch
Is, contains an article by it's correspond
ent, B. Won Altman under Helsingfors
March 15) dateline, on the failure of
prohibition in Finland. The article pur-
ports to present the views of Professor
Allen Serlachius, counselor of justice. Ac-
cording to this dispatch it is the view of
the professor that: "The morale of the
nation has been lowered its respect for
law decreased, and it's appreciation of
temperance degraded to point which
means that years of work will be neces-
sary to regain the position which was held
before prohibition was adopted.
"It is for the government, Prof Ser
1achius says, to work out a new scheme.
Failing that, he asks that prohibition be
enforced with the utmost rigor. In that
case he says, time will at least be gained,
for it will be evident so much sooner that
it is impossible to legislate a nation into
temperance"
1t would seem that Professor Serlachius
comes about as near representing the
facts in regard to the status of prohibi-
ton in Finland as La Guardia and Celler
and other dripping vets in Congress rep
resent the facts in regard to the status OF
prohibition in this country.
Finnish prohibition friends won a
great victory in Parliament on February
IL The great assault which had been
started against the dry law by the enc
mics of prohibition was defeated all along
the line" according to DR.. David Ostlund,
Representative of the World League
Against Alcoholism in Northern Europe.
Dr. Ostlund continues: "At present the
prohibition law seems to have stronger
position than ever. The Parliament of
Finland has declared with finality that
the law shall stand, and shall be enforced.
It will probably be long time before the
enemies of prohibition will dare to make
another drive for the overthrow of the
law. Furthermore it is very significant
that the two most prominent Swedish
newspapers, the strongest organs of the
vets in the country, AbounderattelSer
and HufUudStddSbladet, have now declared
that it is useless to fight longer against
the prohibition law.
"rThe vets have endeaVored to do away
with the dry law by three different oils.
The first of these contained proposal
that the home manufacture of fruit wines
be permitted This proposal was killed by
a vote of 1913 to 81.
1.-THE second proposal sought the legal
ization of stronger beer. This was de-
feated LOT to 66.
"The third attempt was Tor the elec-
ton by the Parliament of a commission
to investigate temperance conditions in
Finland. The vets hoped thereby to
weaken the authority of the law The
prime minister Kallio, then arose and
declared that such an investigation would
be carried out under the auspices of the
government.
Having thus disposed of the wet ele-
nent the parliament then voted Tor still
stronger enforcement of the prohlbltlon
law and asked the government for its
very best cooperation for real and etfec-
tive enforcement. This resolution was
passed 109 to 65."

Real liberty comes through the creation
and distribution of wealth poor man
never can be free. And hence that which
may be labeled liberty is not worth any
thing if it makes for poverty
The mainstay of the old saloon was the
moderate drinker-the man who took
three or four drinks a day with clocklike
regularity and who now and again found
occasion for a celebration This mans
former saloon expenditures have been
largely turned into other channels. :.
1t is absolutely impossible to explain
the enormous growth in consumption and
therefore in production and therefore in
wages and profits without taking prohi-
bition into consideration No one has
ever attempted to dispute that it is a fac
The amount that a moderate, steady
drinker spent in pre-prohibition days over
the bar will now buy an automobile on
the inStallment plan. So a very great
part of the prosperity which the auto
mobile has brought is directly traceable to
the diversion of expenditure caused by
prohibition.
1t is not possible to trace the full effects
OF prohibition through all its money
phases, but it is possible to estimate the
changes in spending closely enough to
leave no doubt as to what prohibition has
done to prosperity. -.
1t is often said that the consumption of
alcohol was decreasing at the time of the
Eighteenth Amendment and that we were
then on our way to achieve real tenn
perance. The government figures do not
say so.
Take the three periods 19O0-1904, 1905
1909 and 1910-1914. The per capita con-
sumption-Which is the real test-of dis
titled spirits. wines and beer in the first
period was 1877 gallons: in the second
period it was q 46 and in the third 2243.
The largest increase was in beer, but
there were substantial increases in spirits
and in wines. The country was steadily
drinking more and not less. :.
The bootlegging business is extensive,
but it is quite out of the question to be-
heve that it even approaches the old liq-
uor trade. Chicago at one time had a
saloon for every three hundred men ,wom-
en- and children But this Chicago saloon
percentage was not abnormal 1t is today
nowhere as easy to find a bootlegger or
SpeakeaSy as it was to walk into sa-
loon.
The actual amount spent for liquor to-
Cay can hardly amount to more than half
a billion dollars but whether it be half
billion or billion, the amount is paid for
a volume of liquor certainly not exceeding
20 per cent of that sold in the prewar
trade.
The minimum sums which are being di-
verted from the saloon into the buying Of
goods or into savings accounts are enough
tc account for large measure of our
pl osperity They are in effect, new pur-
chasing poWer-as has been explained.
And since buying begets more buying, we
have an explanation of at least part of
the remarkable increase in buying which
has taken place since prohibition. :.
Therefore prohibition has accomplished
che purpose-the diverting Of the wage
earner's income from the saloon. The
wife is having a chance to control spend
ing and saving. Of the entire amount
now spent for drink, It is unlikely that
more than a quarter comes from the wage
earnerS.

The one great and fundamental change
that has taken place in this country dur
ing the past ten years has been the COM
ing into force of the Prohibition Amend
ment.
We talk so much about this law as a
great moral crusade to defeat Old Demon
Rum, or, taking the other tack, as an as
sault upon the right to personal liberty
that we are apt to forget that this law
has other than moral background.
1t is in point of fact great economic
experiment in changing the direction of
the spending of money.
It sought to throw a dam across that
part of the river of purchasing power
which formerly flowed uselesSly for liquor
and to route the stream through turbines
which might usefully turn to create
wealth.
The dam today is built and the money
which formerly went for drink is the mo-
tive power of our prosperity I have ex-
amined, one by one, the other possible
causes and have been forced to eliminate
them. have gone into the positive evil
Gence of the bearing of prohibition upon
prosperity. The facts are unacceptable.
Prohibition is an economic success.
The country is spending more than it
ever did, but it is not spending recklessly;
people insist on getting value. There is
a keen desire to work. That which we
have has come gradually and appears to
be sustained by a new and steady force
that we never had before.
That new and steady force is undoubt-
eGly prohibition, but as a force it has
been almost wholly concealed by the emo
tional attention which has been given to
other phases of the law. The outstanding
fact of prohibition is that, by diverting
expenditures from drink, it has made the
country prosperous. :.
Let us inquire, then into the working
of prohibition from the single angle of
economic benefit. Is the country as a
whole better off or worse off by reason of
prohibition?
The United States has, within the space
of ten years, become infinitely the richest
country that the world has ever known
These riches belong both to the few and
to the many They have seeped through
the people until today poverty is almost
a voluntary condition. The amount OF in
voluntary poverty is not yet wholly neg
lgible, but it is now an exceptional and
purely individual predicament. Tt is not
a class status or an accepted condition.
and it is not enough merely by charity to
alleviate its hardships. We everywhere
regard poverty as an abnormal condition
This view of poverty is something new

in the world, but it is only part of the
new social system which has come about
in this country-and SO very quickly and
also so quietly that most of our people do
not even realize what has happened We
have scared above the old landmarks
which once we used for comparison, and
we have no way of judging how fast we
are really going. We have been through
ten years of experimenting and it is time
to cast balance sheet
AS Mr.. Edison put it to me some
months ago:
'I think we have about a 60 per cent
enforcement, which is rather higher than
the enforcement of many laws We can
never expect 100 per cent enforcement
Of the prohibition or any other law.
ut should not be difficult to raise the
enforcement to so per cent. In that case
we should have sober nation. We have
a fairly sober nation today-so much SO
that the European nations which are not
sober are beginning to get very much
worried. They already find that they
cannot compete with us and are taking
steps to regulate the sale and consump-
ton of liquor. 1t is a serious problem in
Great Britain
are we get an 80 per cent enforcement,
no country anywhere can compete WIN
us in anything Seeing what a sober IA
ton can do is indeed noble experiment
and one that has never yet been tried.
For there never has been sober nation.
In these days there are so many things to
do that it is not necessary for an idle
man to turn to drink. We are steadily de-
veloping to a point where drinking will
not fit into any of our programmes in or
out of the ShODSo
This country in very literal sense is
coming to be owned by the mass of its
citizenry
Our people are spending a great deal.
There has been complete revolution in
the attitude toward spending.
There is an absolute unanimity of opin-
ion that the wage earners are spending
more on their families than ever they did,
and that the standards of living are con-
stantly growing higher.
Henry Ford has frequently expressed
himself on the changed conditions of the
workers. The chief executive of a COM
pany-he preferred to have his name
withheld-said that before prohibition it
was usual to have from fifty to one hun
dred women in the Office on the morning
after pay day asking for advances because
their husbands had spent all their money
in the saloon before coming home. In the
past three years he has had exactly two
such applications.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1930-05-01

The drink habit and drink business has
had 10000 years, or 5000 years at least, to
entrench itself in the world, yet vets say,
you have had 10 years to dry up the
country why didn't you do it." That is
logic in the half shell.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1930-05-01

1t is generally agreed that prohibition
has decreased drinking and drunkenness
exactly what it was expected to do.

Ohio State, Southern Metho-
dist and Maryland to Be
Met in Succession.
NNAPoLIs, Md. November A.

A NNAPOLIS, Md, November A.
~ Navy is now looking forward to
~ three hard games in row, the
result of which will do much to
determine whether the MILDLY team of
this year is among the stronger teams of
the country.
Ohio State, Southern Methodist and
the University of Maryland are the
teams which the Navy is to meet on
successive Saturdays, and it is realized
that each is capable of giving the local
team a real battle.
Ohio State and Southern Methodist
are on the Navy schedule for the first
time, and in each case the game is the
first of series Of two.
Navy will play Ohio State at Column
bus next year, but Southern Methodist
has agreed to come North second time,
and the game will be played here.
Both of these games are to be played
in the Baltimore stadium, the dates be-
ing November and Is, respectively. 1t
is believed that the game with Southern
Methodist viii be somewhat a greater
attraction, the Mustangs being noted
for their brilliant passing game.
The victory over Princeton is likely to
increase the patronage of these games,
and should the Navy win from Ohio
State, there should be a particularly
good crowd at the Southern Methodist
game.
On November 70, Maryland will come
to Annapolis, the game being the big
event of the season on the local sched-
ule. The game is the first Of a series of
three between the teams. Next years
game will be played in Baltimore and
that of 1892 at the Academy.
No one at the Academy thinks of re-
garding the game with Maryland as soft,
but on the contrary, every possible prep
2ration viii be made for it and the
greatest strength massed for this con-
test.
Curley Byrd. coach of Maryland, has
reputation Of knocking down the big
fellows, as two victories over Yale,
Syracuse. Rutgers and others in recent
years attest. He is expected to get his
team in the best of shape for the game
with the Navy.
