obtained from the traffic. According to a competent auth- ority, a million dollars invested in the distilling busines gives em- ployment to about 37.6 persons, in the brewing business to about 74.7 persons, in making bread and other bakery products, to about 355, in manufacturing men's clothing, to about 459. boots and shoes 483, women's clothing 642. And the di- version of money to the liquor in- dustry is not only reflected in less direct employment, but in a large reduction of purchasing power, so that the vast increase in the liquor business in Canada under Govern- ment Sale is an important contri- buting cause to unemployment and

l depression. And how about the farmer? “Citi- zen" complains that arguments "for Prohibition" have been scarce. 51;,_51nc9 the "venue ugmncnr, Here is another one.

mind that some such generation mizht be brought up and such a thought definitely established in their minds, that Wayne Wheeler and the Anti Saloon League foisted the 18th Amendment upon an un- 511596091118 country... . . . .N0t only must this beer tradition be rees- tablished but the course of its de- velopment must be along certain definite and constructive lines to be effective."

"In that language the "trade" ex- horts its retailers to greater efforts to_round up consumers for their product. Lost ground during pro- hibition must he regained, And the point is that there was much ground lost; and it was this "hope," we would have said conviction, that the prohibitionists undertook the hcrculean task of putting the U. s. in the dry column. Now the “wets" say their (the prollibitionlsts) hopes were realized. ‘Citizen’ says any man is a fool. to believe that pro- hibition could do that. Go easy, Mr. "Citizen" don't call your back- ers fools in that fashion. During the prohibition era. the “wets" said “Hell hath enlanged herself, and Cliiened her mouth WiThout mea- sure" to admit all those, especially within the younger brackets. who were being damned by learning to drink. Now, after repeal. these same men are saying, with real tears. “prohibition killed the beer tradition in a. generation."

But the dlstillers are also alarmed for their share of the booze trade. Mida's Criterion, a “trade" journal, for Sept. 1935. in an article by one Paul Studenski, s. professor in N. Y. University: "The consumption of alcoholic beverages has appar- ently decreased greatly in this country since the pie-prohibition days. Many people have lost the drinking habit, and the younger generation has not acquired it to the same extent as had the gen- eration of the pro-prohibition days." -

The above quotations from state- ments and confessions made by the "Trade" itself are sufficient to show that brewers and dlstillers recog- nlze the fact that a generation grew up under prohibition without the acquired appetite for alcohol. And they grew up not only be- cause of a law, but because of the teaching and idealism that was laid as a foundation for that law. They

prohibitionists and temperance

Tewghlze the fact, and are cut w °°lllbfli by Every way possible, fair or foul. mostly foul. the efforts of

workers in general to save the Win18 men and women c! the country from the curse of drink, Hear what one of master brewers, Robert Schwartz by name, said, n15 the regular monthly meeting of the District N. Y.‘ Master Brewers’ Association. in Nov. 19x5; "Sensational and fanatical distor- tlons and misstatements, all det- rimental to the brewing industry" (Cillliifi-illed in temperance publica- tlons, and so described by c wn- sciencelms brewer) require "prompt and Vigorous action of all in any way connected with the brewing industry if we are to avoid a repe- tltion of national prohibition." Now what was there in national prohi- bition that the "trade" fears? The development of generations “that have lost the beer tradition"; that hive Brown up without acquiring the appetite for alcohol. Prohibi- tion does prohibit after all. So says the "trade."

And ‘that, Sir, is the present day valuation of prohibition by the liquor traffic itself. It is damning and destructive to their business. It must; be combated at all costs, and in every way. And that is the answer of truth to "Citizen's" claims against prohibition.

And then, fcrsooth, he comes out as an advocate for liberty. A reply to that is succinctly p“; by song, tor Morris Sheppard in an address before the U. S. Senate on the an- niversary of the 18th Amendment.

“Iii (beverage alcohol) imperils liberty, because liberty is the power to choose the right, and to take ad- vantage of opportunity. An article whose consumption impairs this power through the corruption of the springs of thought and energy, of health and will, as does this liquid, is a. destroyer of liberty, and its tolerance is not an emblem of freedom. It is a. public enemy num- ber one, and the only way to han- dle it is to destroy it."

Now “Citlzen," having tried to confuse the issue by talking about something different than was under discussion, is himself utterly con- founded by admlssions of his own party. It is too bad that one so courageous and so stubborn in the

has not a worth cause to advo- cate, a cause tha really has some- thing in it for the welfare of the people. Government sale certain- ly has not.

PROHIBITIONISTS INTER/HER- ATE LANGUAGE

Sin-When the Temperance lied- eration announced the appointment of an “Educational Secretary." I bplieve everyone ideled it an important step in the right direc- tion, for through education alone llcs the only hope cf a permanent improvement of present; conditions. Might I be permitted to suggest to the Educational Secretary that in his capacity g1 such he be a limo more tolerant in dealing with those of us who do noi; agree with him as to the merits of prohibition. We may be “lllimbilkiillP as he classes us but I question the wisdom of an “Educator" so describing his pupils. I find that I am more attracted by courtesy than by abuse and s. re- flection on my mentality. However, my reason for writing this letter is to call the Secretary's attention to his very unfair reflec- tions on "Citizen." I have made the statement in the press that "Citi- zen." is well known to me. He is a clergyman of one of the large con- KNintioils in Charlottetown. I have been associated with him in phil- anthropic work. He has done par- ticularly good work among the young people of his congregation and is very highly regarded. If any- one doubts my statement I am sure the Editor of either or both of the city newspapers will verify what I say. I claim therefore that the Sec- retary's reference to “Citiun" is very unfair” unjust and unkind.

"Oitinen" is that he is the very in- illlflerlteb selfish." "We know your way." "You are,‘ I believe. Ilin." Qpgcking generally this dis- hal been carried on with great 2?r7‘.§“l'3.'€.i.l’.°.3.'..'.l‘f§.é“£. 1.233.; |
