Giving the vets the full benefit of the
doubt and granting that these eleven states
would follow the federal government in
modification of the Volstead act there
would be only seventeen states in which
manufacture of beer and wine would be
Illegal providing the Volstead act was SO
modified.
But in 1914, the year for which employ
ment figures are given in the foregoing
tables, there were thirty-four such states
or just twice the number that the vets
lcould hope for at the present time.
Mr.. Merz in his article in the NeaV York
Times draws this very significant conclu

not fabricators of these products but were
saloon-keepers or bartenders. The one
thing the advocates of beer and wine en-
phasize above everything else perhaps, is
that there is to be no return of the saloon.
Consequently there will be no saloon-keep-
ers nor bartenders. Hence two-thirds of
the number employed in pre-prohibition
days cannot hope for employment under
modification.
FURTHER DEDUCTIONS NECESSARY
Another important factor which indi

sion from the above facts. He says: Con
sidered from the point of view of produc-
ton and therefore of employment even the
rapid growth of population in the wet
states during the last decade is not suf-
fcient to offset the progress of statewide
prohibition between 1914 and 1920"

RAW MATERIALS

elIlplOyIuelll, also ldS ulIeCC bearing upon
the 'raw materials" argument of these ad-
vocates of beer and wine With the field of
activity of the brewers limited to seven
teen states it is obvious that they cannot
hope to speed up production to the point
where it was when thirty-four states were
open to them, unless the distributors of
their products overstep dry state boun-
daries and go into the bootleg business on
a wholesale scale.

USED
According to the department of agri-
culture, in 1916, 6S,4oo,ooo bushels of bar
ley, corn and rice were used to manufac-
ture beer. This was less than per cent
of the grain crop in the country for that
year and less than per cent of the crop
for 1881. Mr.. Merz in quoting these fig
ureS, says ut is unreasonable to suppose
that modification of existing law would
automatically provide new market even
for this less than per cent. Approximate
ly three million bushels of grain are now
used in the manufacture of near beer and
much larger quantity unquestionably
goes into the hands of manufacturers of
illegal products. Meantime the number of
states which enacted legislation to forbid
the legal manufacture of beer increased by
ten between 1916 and 1920"
1t is estimated that al 5000, 900 pounds of
grapes were consumed in the legal manu-
facture of wine before the war. Grape
production since that period has increased
hV more than 400 Oer cent
FUEL AND EQUIPMENT
But how about the argument that the
opening of breweries would stimulate the
coal market? According to the census re-
port of 1910 approximately three million
tons of coal year was used by the brew
cries. This is little more than one-ha1f
of one per cent of the coal produced in the
United States and against this figure it
would be necessary to write off whatever
coal is now consumed by an illegal liquor
traffic in its breweries and distilleries.
With the field of activity of the brewers
limited to less than one-half of what it was
in 1910 it will be seen that it is not likely
that there would be an appreciate increase
in coal consumption.
WHAT ABOUT EUROPE?
Finally, if Our own experience as nation,
the record of which is SO graphically pre-
sented in the statistics of the United States
census bureau, is not sufficient to prove the
fallacy of the theory that return to the
manufacture and sale of beer and wine
would relieve the unemployment situation,
the present conditions of Europe certainly
ought to convince even the most skeptical.
Canada, Ireland, Scotland, England, Ger
many and France all have their own
serious unemployment problem despite the
fact that liquor is legalized in all of these.
In most of these countries working mems
wages are much less than they are in the
United States. In drinking France

these will continue operation if this modi-
fcation plan is adopted? Surely not for
they tell us that their plan will abolish the
bootlegger and speakeasy. If this be true
then it is obvious that all these bootleggers
and operators of illegal stills and breweries
will be out of jobs and help swell the ranks
of the unemployed.
