L IA—14 PROABITON AGAI SEEN N 10 YEAS Scott McBride Declares Every Contrel Method Has Collapsed. F. Scott McBride, general superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of America, in recent ad- dresses has said prohibition will be back within 10 years. In the Jollowing article, written for the Associated Press, Dr. McBride fur- ther outlines his viows on the sub- ject. ' BY F. SCOTT McBRIDE, General Superintendent, Anti-8aloon League. 1 have reached the conclusion that prohibition will be back within the next 10 years after a survey within 41 States during the last 14 months, and & 17,000-mile automobile tour through 26 States with 110 meetings within the last four months. The following are the reasons: 1. Because repeal has proven the worst failure in & century of dealing with the liquor problem. No State is satisfled with repeal. No State condition is improved by it. 2. Because every method of regula- tion or control has collapsed and there is a decided increase in drink- ing and drunkenness. Automobile accidents and other casualties. are wounting. During the first full year under repeal there have been 32,000 deaths and 900,000 injuries by auto- mobile accidents. Repeal has shown that the only way to deal with liquor 1s to prohibit it. Saloon Has Come Back. 3. Because the saloon is back. The saloon made the biggest contribution toward bringing about prohibition and it has started the country back to it. Liquor got back on false promises, the chief of which was that there would be no saloons. One Governor recently said, “Conditions are worse than I have ever known them in my State.” Another said, “It seems as if the liquor people should have learned something during the years of prohibition, but instead it seems they have learned nothing. They are now doing just what brought prohibition in the be- ginning.” 4. The bootlegger has stayed. He 1s prospering unabated. He is smoke- screened by the legalized traffic. He gets his liquor cheaper and easier and carries on his illegal program safer. He is now making easy money and making it easier than ever. No bootlegger has been driven out by re- al. us. The cocktail hour, along with ather social drinking customs, are proving to be a greater menace to women and children than the old- time bar room ever was to men and boys. Advertisements Resented. 6. The colossal campaign of alco- hol beverage advertisement has cre- ated a resentment on the part of the public against the whole liquor pro- gram. It indicates liquor as insincere in the contention that they wish legal liquor to satisfy the demand of the public for drink. 7. Revenue returns disappoint. Pro- hibition was repealed because of the claims and clamor for revenue. Revenue returns will not pay relief funds spent for liquor and the public cost of caring for repeal drinking results. If the Government were com- pelled to pay for the loss of life and property caused by legalized repeal intoxication, it would go bankrupt. 8. Liquor domination in State Legis- latures is again arousing the people. These liquor tactics contributed great- 1y in bringing about prohibition. They will do it quickly again. Churches Aroused. 9. The churches and other welfare groups are now aroused to the fact that they have been betrayed by political coercion and liquor propa- ganda. Reaction has set in. Six States have by direct vote or legislative enactment declared against liquor, and hundreds of units have outlawed the traffic within the year. 10. Liquor is now clearly on the defensive. Quoting Lincoln, “Lincoln has its defenders, but no defense.” President Roosevelt promised no sa- loons. He freely and repeatedly de- clared if his policies proved mistaken ones he would be in the forefront advocating a change. Exhibit A of failure is now repeal. Repeal has failed. BRITISH RAIL WRECK KILLS 17, HURTS 40 Agonized - Screams Pierce Dark- ness as Rescuers Strive to Extricate Victims. LONDON, June 15 (#).—At least 17 persons were killed tonight as a fast train laden with newspapers ploughed into a stationary section of the London-Newcastle express at Welwyn Station, in the metropolitan area. The official report telephoned from ‘Welwyn said 17 were killed, but two London newspapers placed the death roll at “30 so far.” This figure could not be confirmed, but it was believed many victims still were in the wreckage. ‘Two score persons were seriously fujured. The agonized screams of the dying, pinned in the wreckage, added to the horror as the noise of an explosion which followed the crash died away. The express was crowded with week end travelers leaving the city for a holiday. ‘The explosion was heard for miles around, and brought to the scene many persons in automobiles, on bicycles and afoot, some wearing evening clothes. All took part in the rescue efforts in the darkness. The debris of four shattered coaches was strewn over four tracks.

MERIDIAN, Miss., June 15.—The “Flying Keys” turned the nose of their marathon plane, the Ole Miss, into the darkness tonight, their twelfth in continuous flight, and were nearing the half-way mark toward their goal of a new airplane world endurance record. , The brother managers of the local airport, Al and Fred, seemingly in excellent spirits and with their ship droning away the miles in the air in perfect fashion, were cheered on to- day by a letter from the present hold- ers of the endurance record. Ken Hunter of Chicago, one of the two brothers who set the world mark of 553 hours 41 minutes and 30 ser- onds, sent hearty congratulations to Al and Fred Key. “I head of your being up nine days and I certainly wish you boys a lot of luck,’ Keh Hunter wrote. “That may sound funny coming from me, but I am sincere.

Wishes He Knew More About Case, Hauptmann Says Lin}il;e}gh Baby Kid-| naper Asserts He Would Tell All if He Could. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 15.—Bruno Rich- ard Hauptmann, awaiting appeal from his conviction for the murder of the Lindbergh baby, today stated through his spiritual advisor that he wished he knew more than he did “about the horrible crime” so he “could throw some light on it.” The statement was given out by the Rev. D. G. Werner just before he left to visit Hauptmann at the Trenton death house, where he goes to see him once & week. “I told Hauptmann,” Mr. Werner's statement read, “that many honest Americans believe that he had nothing to do with the crime of kidnaping the Lindbergh baby, but that he knows more than he says and perhaps wants to shield some one else.” ‘Werner says that Hauptmann re- plied with tears in his eyes: “I wish I knew more than I do, s0 that I could say more than I am able to say as it is. Again and again 1 have been told the same story. People believe I know more than I say. I wish I did and could throw some light on the horrible crime.” 2 | By the Associa U. 5.

By the Associated Press. The payment of higher relief rates in cities than in the country was dis- closed yesterday to have helped slow | down the migration back to farms. Officials of the Bureau of Agricul- tural Economics, discussing results of the annual survey of the trend of pop- ulation to and from farms in 1934, sald that while there had been net gains in the farm population in 1934, they could noc compare with the huge mmol;xmmthehndmtwokphu in 1933, While conditions varied in different sections of the country, they said that in the northern and northeastern in- dustrial States the reduction in migra- tion from cities, towns and villages to the farms “was probably the combined result of & farm housing shortage, somewhat better empioyment oppor- tunities in non-agricujtural industries and the larger cash relief payments generally available to urban residents as contrasted to rural dwellers.” Agricultural officials said the Reliet Administration recently had reported that needy persons on farms were finding they were being given the same consideration there that they would receive if they were in the cities. ‘The figures for the farm population showed a pet gain of 270,000 in 1934 over 1933. A study of the figures disclosed that during the year 783,000 persons moved to farms from urban communities. In the same period 994,000 moved away from farms to cities and towns. Thus, 211,000 more persons moved away from farms than moved to them. But during the same period, 481,000 more persons were born on farms than died, giving a net increase in farm population of 270,000, all of which was represented in babies 1 year old or less. In only three years during the last 14 for which records were imme- diately accessible have more persons moved to the country than moved away from it.
