ton That Prohibition
Breeds Crime.

Claim that crimes such as the Lind

rather than the law itself, are to blame
for organized crime, the boards state
ment said
The horrible crime which has de-
prived the Lindberghs of their little
son" 1t was said, has been seized upon
by wet propagandists who demand the
sbrogation of prohibition because it
has caused lawlessness.
"Prohibitionists resent and denounce
as an utter falsehood the assertion that
the prohibition law has caused crime,
or that they themselves support crime
In unfolding that policy"
The statement declared the RESPONSE

with those who dealt with bootleggers
and melted others to break the law,
rather than with the prohibitionists.
The board advocated "merciless war"
