Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Prohibition in America: And Its Relation to the Problem of Public Control of Personal Conduct During a large part of three years I have had the privilege of receiving hospitality in many parts of Canada and in a large number of American States, from California and Washington in the west to Florida in the south, as well as in many cities in Eastern States, and during the same period have been able to observe American life in different social circles and from many standpoints. I may, therefore, claim to express in the following pages more than casual impressions of an experiment of immense importance to the public health and to prospects of social progress. Those who base their opinion as to prohibition in America on what appears in most English newspapers would be astonished were they made to realize the revolution which prohibition, first local, now national, has made in life in the States. The instances of failure to enforce prohibition, which figure so largely in cabled information, give an altogether erroneous impression of the general trend of events. That strenuous efforts will be made to prevent the enforcement of prohibition, and especially to permit the drinking of light wines and beers, is clear; but these efforts are not likely to succeed.
