Church Report Charges After Survey. By the Associated Press. The system of government control liquor in Canada a failure, the Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Pubiic Morals of the Methodist Epis- copal Church declares today in a long statement reviewing conditions in the Dominion since the end of prohibi- tion in Quebec and other provinces. The board explained that its con- clusions were based upon a personal survey by Ernest A. Grant, its as- sistant research secretary. and upon government documents, newspaper ar- ticles and other materfal. It added that “only facts and figures of un- doubted authenticity are used.” “Swollen Liquor Bill.” Summarizing the conclusions re. sulting from the survey, the board overnment coptrol in Canada has meant: “An_ increased consumption of liquor.” “Greatly Increased use of alcoholic liquors by voung people and women. A swollen liquor bill. A great economic loss, which has halted prosperity and acted as a bur- den upon the general population. “Increased vice and crime, impos- ing upon the government expenses which have burdened the taxpayers. corruption hitherto unknown in da. An illicit trade as great as that under any prohibition law.” System Called Failure. “The system of government con- trol in Canada is a failure,” the state- ment adds. “Under it all of the evils of the illicit traffic in the United States are present, plus the evils of zovernment-protected traffic as vicious in_principle and practice as was the The survey of the Methodist board undertaken because of the re- ving proposals in this country for the substitution for the present Fed- eral prohibition of the so-called Quebec svatem of government sale and regu- lation. Comparing conditions in Ontarlo with those in Quebec when Ontario was operating under a prohibition lat, the board said: “The experience of Ontario with prohibition was the same as that of the various American States. Pros. perity increased, labor was more pro ductive, drunkenness and crime fell off and the general health was greatly improved.” Turning to conditions in British Columbia, Manitoba and other prov- control has been no more effective than in Quebec. Brewers “Troublesome." “The brewers who are ing a monopoly of the intoxicating liquor trade in the United States.” it asserts, “are as troublesome there and else. where as they are in the United States.” _ Attorney General Craig of Manltoba is quoted‘as declaring that present conditions are worse than under pro- hibition. while Judge J. St. George Stubbs of Winnepeg is quoted de-§ claring the enforcement of prohibition to be “a colo: 1 farce.” Newspapers and police officials in British Columbia are given as au thorities for statements that commer- cialized vice floods Vancouver and that there is more drinking and the use of narcotic drugs among voung boys and girls in that city than ever before. The statement goes on to say th despite the “admirable national spirit” anada toward law observance, orruption has run riot since the government control system has been in operation “Prohibition at its worst in the United States, half-chance prohibi. the report adds, “has vielded ns in profits to the plain people. Business has been booming and de- velopment has been rapld.” | CHICAGO GANGSTER IDENTIFIED IN HOLDUP Roll Gang, Witnesses Say, Viewing Photo. By the Associated Pre BALTIMORE.
