mess activity In New England during
December practically maintained
the high rate Of activity recorded
In November; according to the New
England Councils index Of general
business activity. Despite the holi-
days and the usual yearsend inter-
ruptions m certain production sched-
Wles attendant TO the beginning Of
FIRST quarter operations, the New
England Councils index Of general
business activity stood at LOS per
cent Of the estimated normal, as
compared with 100 per cent In Nov
esnber, and "a per cent In December
1898. .r
Although employment in Mass.
achusetts exclusive Of shoe and

seasonal adjustment In December
than In November, as were the vol
urne Of metal tonnage receipts,
cotton spindle hours operated. and
the volume Of wool consumption, the
general level Of industrial activity
here IN New Englend during Decein-
Der was better than for any month
In 1899 except November. Since each
Of these four series have shown in
creasing rates of activity during the
fall months, the slightly lower level
of activity noted for these series in
December was not unexpected.
Of the other three components of
the index, the only one to record
greater than seasonal increase
from November to December, was
that OF the daily average output Of
boots and shoes which showed five
per cent gain over November. Mer-
lchandise, /. c. J., and rniscellaneous

smaller than seasonal decline from
November to December, while there
was no change in the adjusted in

ALTHOUGH national defense Is es-

carefully In the public mind because
too often IN the history of nations,
large military machines have not re-

made by Henry H. Heimann, execu-
Tive manager Of the National ASso-
ciation of Credit Men, In discus

mient, presented in his monthly
business review released today to the

Additional spending by the fed

merits.

PROHIBITION MAY
RETURN TO U. 5.
Federal Government At
tackled for "Avarice" in
Leyying Taxes

Assailing the federal government
for its ever anxiety to tax liquor
interests and stating that liquor
license has been issued for every SO
licenses in the country, Alonzo E.
Wilson, national field director of the
American Business Mems Research
Foundation, expressed the belief
saturday that prohibition may re-
turn 10 Ike United States in the
next ten years. Mr.. Wilson spoke at
the YWCA In Hartford before
Council Of Twelve, temperance
Organization. Some $50 members
heard him.
Mr.. Wilson hit the avarice of Fed
eral, state and local governments In
their attempt to milk the liquor
business Of its revenue" by taxation
and the issuing of far too many
licenses.
Mr.. Wilson quoted the best au-
thorities' as claiming that drunken
ness Is the cause OF 80 per cent Of
the eountrys automobile accidents.
Pie quoted the Los Angeles chief Of
kpoliee as saying 1t costs $51 to jail
and erae for a drunk, Of two and a
half million dollars annually In Los
Angeles alone.
Reasons givens by Mr.. Wilson for
his prophecy included the compara-
Five economic loss daily of $10,000,-
700, the amount spent each day In
the United States for liquor. AS soon
as liquor Is consumed It not longer
provides employment for anyone and
"the increasein employment claimed
by the liquor industry Is largely for
the distribution of the product" he
said.
Economically, he pointed out, the
money would be far better spent for
constructive products. such as auto
mobiles. "Whe; cars are sold to the
consumer, they have only just start
ed TO give employment" he said.
Claiming money spent on liquor
aaaS caused a "whiskey depression"
IN the United States, Mr.. Wilson
added. when you stop to think that
three and one-hauf billion dollars Of
the depleted national wealth Is be-
ing handed out in cash each year
for liquor with no employment at
ter Its consumption, It Is not hard
to smell q rat when we see IL mil.
lion men unemployed.
