PROHIBITION IS
PUT TO ROUT
BY FINLAND
Three to One Ballot for
Repeal Is Registered
in Election.
THRoNGS CHEER RESULT
Hilarious Crowds in Cafes
Rejoice Over Doom of
Dry Law.
BY A. NJ. TOILET
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

HELSINGFORS, Finland Jan
An overwhelming Republication of
Finnish prohibition was recorded
today in complete. but unofficial
returns il the nationwide drv law
referendum.
The final figures showed a vote
OF more than three to one in favor
OF repeating the laws which have
been in effect since 1919.
The city of Helsingfors. voting q
landslide for repeal, celebrated the
wet victory in the most hilarious
New Years eve of the last decade
Despite the severe economic de-
preston, hotels, restaurants and
cluoS were crowded with gay parties
drinking a toast to the new vear
and cheering every new announce
ment OF returns from the refer
endum.
Three Choices Given
Onered three choices in a prohi-
bition referenGum-repeal of the
dry law, continuation of the exist-
ing regime, or modification to allow
manufacture and sale of light wines
and beer-the country voted as
follows:
For repeal Incomplete figures,
1851; for continuance of prohi-
bition. 55,68S; for modification
1921.
The general expectation of
neavy dry vote in the farming dis
tr1cts and among laborers failed to
materialize. In both rural and ,r-
ban districts the vote for light
wines and beer was practically neg
ligible.
Parliament Must Act
The referendum was advisory and
parliament must act on the issue.
The governments need for increased
revenue which could be obtained
from a liquor tax was believed to
make certain the approval of sale
Of alcoholic liquors.
The most surprising feature of
the referendum was included in the
returns from farming areas in the
south, where the drys were supposed
to be comparatively strong. Official
returns from eighty EIGHT rural con-
stituencies disclosed vote of 1888
for abolition of prohibition as COM
pared to 1883 in favor of continL
uing the present laws.

average was concerned.
Accompanying the break i'll
stocks was a drop of 2 to 3 cents
