Facts on Repeal
Versus Promises
BY ASHLEY EVANS

PMPU/. j
There are other things be-
sides war and taxes and un-
certainty to claim the atten-
tion of all of us, and it is well
that at times we take our
minds off the reports of
battles and diplomatic victo-
ries and defeats to think a
little of these other problems.
It has been quite a long time
since we have heard very
much about an old problem
that has faced us for many
years, and that will probably
face us for many years to
come—what to do with the
growing menace of the in-
creased use of intoxicating
liquors and the myrid evils
that accompany. From an un-
expected source has recently
come reports of investiga-
tions of various phases of the
legalized sale and use of. in-
toxicants. That source is the
Federal Boaid of Investiga-
tion, commonly known as the

resulted in the desirable era
of lessened crime, wider so-
briety, and growing respect
for law.
The investigations of the
F. B. 1. show that the ratio
of arrests for drunkenness
per 100,000 population was
nearly twice as great in 1940
as it was in 1932, the last
year of national prohibition.
That doesn’t indicate any
increase in temperance as
promised by the brewers and
distillers. Anri remember that
this increase in drunkenness
has come in spite of the fact
that there are wide areas
where liquors are not legally
obtainable. The percentage
of increase has come in those
sections where no prohibition
laws are in force.
Just to show how the pro-
mised wave of temperance
promised by the liquor inter-
ests has not come, we rejiort
the finding of the F. B. I.
Those findings show the in-
