statistics supporting the “dry"
side of the Prohibition argument, the Rev. George B. Tompkins f.“
last evening joined issue sharply ff
"In replying to Dr. Emphringham 1‘
I want to say that I am concerned
about one thing and one alone in
this question of Prohibition. That
is. to find a way by which this na-
tion can be redeemed from the
curse of alcoholic beverages. Ii Dr.
Empringimm has some way that (;
will do that better, more quickly I
and more surely than the way we "
are now seeking to accomplish it I‘
am frank to confess that I hope it
will pi'8\’.3ll But in his addre ’of
a week ago I think he did not show
eithei that Prohibition had been ;
"tried and convicted.” or that modi- >
floation of the present law. to allow
beer and wine would in any only
improve present conditions.
“Dr. Emprlngham's address‘has
greatly cheered me. It is good
news to read therein “All EDISCO'
palisns are in favor of obeying; the
law because it is law." I had sus-
pected otherwise. But since this is
true I feel that the conditions in the
country are not as serious as other
parts of the address wouldfilead us
to fear. To be confidential, as
strongly as the Methodists are rated,
on the Prohibition exchange. I fear
that all of them are not in favor of
obeying the law.
"The first statement of the Doc-
tor's that I want to question is, If
we prohibitionists had deliberately
set out to lDCI‘tllde the consumption
of strong drink we could not have
hit upon a better plan than prohibi-
tion.‘ I take this to mean that in
his opinion there is mute strong
drink consumed in the United
States during a given par‘idd under
prohibition than there was before
the 13th amendment was adopted.
He gives no evidence to back up his
allegation.
But let us examine the facts.
Statistics for 1915 show 127. 000.-
000 gallons of distilled spirits cou-
sumed in the United States.' These
figures do not include any allow-
ance for bootleg and moonshine liq-
uors that were consumed. although
no one doubts that there was much
such liquor consumed. But we ig-
nore that. How much do you think
was consumed in 1923? Well not
statistics are not available. ; ome
estimate worthy of consideration
may he arrived at though. ‘The liq-
uors reported on Great Britain's ex-
port tax list as shipped to British.
possessions. Mexico. Cube. and ad-
jacent territory and supposed to be
smuggled into the United States by
32 steamships engaged in that busi-
ness amounted‘to 3.500.000 gallons.
There were withdrawn from United
States bonded warehouses for no my.
bele‘rage purposes 1.700. 000 gallohb’.
Synthetic liquor. made by distilling
denatured alcohol. for manufactur-
ing purposes amounted to 5.000.000
gallons. A total of 10. 2.00 000 gal-
lons. Granting that all the British
liquor supposed to have been am
glad in was brought in. and that all
the alcohol withdrawn from bonded
warehouses and all the synthetic .
‘ ".
for beverage purposes. and that we "
estimate there was five times as
much made in this country as that
already mentioned that would total
evidently dropped oi! a truck.
