THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., JANUARY 3. 1932—PART THREE. BENEFITS OF DRY FINLAND QUTLINED Methodist Temperance Board Says Liquor Trades Fought Prohibition. By the Associated Press. The Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals, yester- day sald of prohibition in Finland “The European liquor trades have exerted themselves to the utmost to de- siroy the law by encouraging smuggling &nd by pressure upon their governments to turn the diplomatic thumbscrews upon the tiny country struggling to pro- | tect its people.” Deets Pickett, research secretary of the board, said the statement, which appeared in the board’s weekly Clip Sheet, was written before the election in Finland, which resulted in a 3-to-1 vote against a continuation of prohi- bition there. During the day, Senator Bingham of | Cannecticut quoted Andrew J. Volstead, euthor of the enforcement law, in an argument for the manufacture of light | beer. Representative La Guardia of New York make public what he said was a partial list of members of the House Republican Organization for Pro- hibition Refcrm Smuggling Charged. The Clip Sheet's article was headed ittle Finland vs. a World of Greed.” 1t said “The prohibition law of Finland was tnstituted under extremely adverse cir- THE | cumstances in 1919. It was favored the common people of that little Nort | ern country as & part of the long fight tor freedom from the cruel greed repre- | sented by strongly organized exploita- |tion of Finland’s homes on the part | of ruthless trades in human suffering | and_debauchery. | “Prom the first, it was resisted by | privileged classes ‘and by the govern- | ments of countries producing vast | quantities of intoxicating wines. The prohibition experiment in Finland was the direct result of the remarkable good effects which were enjoyed under tem- | porary prohibition during a great strike |in 1905. * = * “That the prohibition law in Finland has produced some remarkable benefits is perfectly apparent. The appearance of ‘the citles of the country has been tremendously improved. ~ And while the flood of smuggled liquor has in- | creased drunkenness among the de- | bauched part of the population, the | great middle class has made striking | advances in their economic conditions |1t is also true that the increasing | drunkenness noted came to a halt in 1830, since which time there has been a decrease.” | Quotes Volstead on Wine. Bingham quoted Volstead as having testified before the House Rules Com- | mittee in 1921 that wine might contain | “2 or possibly 3" per cent of alcohol without being intoxicatmg. i Bingham is author of a 4 per cent beer bill, on which a Senate Manufac- tures Subcommittee will open hearings next Friday. Four witnesses today | were asked to testify. They are Dr. | Morris Fishbein, editor of the Journal | of the American Medical Association; Dean Clarence Mendell of Yale Col lege, Dr. Charles Norris, chief medical cxaminer of New York City, and Dr. Shirley W. Wynne, commissioner of health of New York City. La Guardia’s list included 58 Repub- lican Congressmen, some of whom did not belong last year to the non-partisan wet bloc. The new G. O.
