Monday.
A prediction that In two years the

H. Curran, president Of the Associ-
alton Against the Prohibition Amend
ment.
DR.. Ernest H. Cherrington, general
secretary Of the World League
Against Alcoholism, blamed an in
crease in the alcoholic death rate
upon widespread wet propaganda
but concluded that even this had not
lifted the death ratio to the pre-pro-
hibition mark.
Curran Explains Claim
Curran issued q statement saying
"a states now are ready to vote for
repeal. He claimed the delegations
Of IL states to the next congress con-
tanned 10 out Of ~ senators favoring
submission of the repeal question to
the people and 113 out Of 160 repre-
sentatives taking the same position,
Besides the delegations Of these states
he said, there were several more SEN
| ators and at least a. more repre-
sentatives ready for submission.

when one considers the increased

'the great improvement in the pub
