THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, JANUARY 17, 1932—PART ONE. A—13 WET GROUP LISTS DRY LAW UPSETS Crusader Says 200,000,000 Changed Mind on Prohibi- tion Since 1920. Instead of securing a dry world, as envisioned by probifiition leaders a decade ago, there are oniy the United States and Prince Edward Island “that after 12 years of trial stand by the noble experiment,” the Crusaders, mili- tant anti-prohibition group, asserted yesterday, in isuing their “1932 World | Prohibition Map.” Rufus §. Lusk, on behalf ‘of his ‘col- leagues the ' Ci movement, d: “The Crusaders are happy to fur- h for the information of the Anti- Saloon League, now holding its annual convention at the Mayflower here, on the twelfth anniversary of prohibition a graphic portrayal of the world pro- hibition movement which was going so strong a dozen years ago. Russia Discards Law. “In 1920, over 300,000,000 people lived in prohibition countries. Besides the United States all of Canada, save Quebec; Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia had attempted to outlaw liquor | by writing something in a book. Drys | were jubilant; they predicted the whole world would soon take up prohibition. They expected to convert France, Ger- many and England. “Then -something happened. Russia with the tightest dictatorship of all history soon abolished prohibition, even though its rulers have waged & strenu- »us war, but by education, against strong drink. Soon Norway and Sweden 1PIL| the fold. One by one, the different dominions of Canada, except tiny Prince Edward Isle, threw off the liberty-bind- ing shackles of black-coated reformers and decided that control of liquor by laws was infinitely better than control of liquor by bootleggers and counter= parts of the Anti-Saloon League. Fin- land emphatically declared she was fed up on snooping at a recent referendum. Says Millions Changed Minds. “Almost 200,000,000 people have | shanged their minds about prohibition kince 1920. Can the drys name a single rountry with the exception of Prince Bdward Isle, which, when the people were given an opportunity to express themselves, did not throw.out prohi- bition? “English and French Canadians, Blue Plains Home Buys Bus DISTRICT INSTITUTION ACQUIRES SIGHT-SEEING MACHINE. NMATES of the District Home for the Aged and Infirmed, a¢ Blue Plains, | D. C., took their first ride yesterday in a sight-seeing bus bought for them by the District Commissioners. The idea of buying a bus originated with | Frank B. Haskell, superintendent of the home, which recently received the money from a legacy, which was directed to be spent for the benefit of the inmates of the home. The home, at the extreme southern tip of the District, is two miles beyond the nearest car line and most of its inmates seldom get a chance to leave its boundaries. Among the passengers on the first trip was one woman, 89 years old, who had not left the confines of the institution for nine | s various places of public interest in Washington.
