$4,OOO,OOO,OO0 A. .=..-. YEAR IN PROFITS

New York, Feb 25-CUP)-Colonel Henry w. Anderson, member of the Wickersham commission which re- ported on prohibition enforcement. told the Merchants association of New York to-day that present con ditions as to the illegal traffic in and use of intoxicating liquors, is seri- ous menace to the health of present and future generations and chal- lenge to orderly government"
 He advocated establishment of a plan similar to that now in opera ton in Sweden, as he recommended in his individual report as a member of the commission.
 Colonel Anderson presented a long summary of conditions under the 18th amendment and Volstead act. as they were described to the com mission during it's investigations. As serting that the task was very diffi- cult because the business, as. con- ducted. is illegel and those engaged in it were not available as witnesses, he said the turning point of con- sumption of alcohol and, therefore. enforcement of the laws, was in 1922.
 From that time to the present. he said, "there has been an almost Slcduy lISuu upWdIu III uklHhlAe with corresponding upward trend in arrests and convictions for drunk enness and for violations of the law. in deaths from alcoholism and other similar date.
 Drinking seems to be general and increasing in substantially all parts of the country and among all classes of the population. This appears tc be especially true as to the drinking among the youth of both sexes"
 He cited as an example of this the statistics of arrests for drunken ness in his home state, Virginia. The arrests in Richmond, per 1000 of the population, increased from 11.23 in 1921 to 19.40 in 1929.
 "Speakeasies exist in all our cities where liquors of various kinds can be obtained with little difficulty" he said. There appears to be no place in the United States where liquor of some kind cannot be purchased at a price,"
