The Mo

L
President, I, F. Hellmuth, K.C,
.,o
ONE of the most embarrassing facts that the advoeate of compulsory
total abstinence has to face is that wherever his theory has been put
into practice there has grown a strong movement against it; further, the
longer the experiment of prohibition has been tried, the greater the opposi-
tion it has created. Time has always been against it.
This movement is that in favour of Government Control.
Had Government Control been dependent for its adoption on the votes
of those who have always voted against so-called prohibition, it could never
have become thedaw of any Province in Canada. One of the most encourag-
ing things to those who have been active in the work of Moderation Leagues
is that there have rallied around them everywhere men and women who in
the past have voted with 'the opponents of the Leagues.
Contrary to the statements made by the prohibitionists, these men and
women were not and are not concerned with promoting the iszterests of
what is so euphoniously called "the booze business". They were not and
are not men and women ignorant of conditions existing in their own com-
munities. They were not and are not ignorant of conditions existing. in
other communities. They were and are, for the most part, typical sono.
sane and reasonable citizens of Canada.
These men and women, just as is the case with the men and women
of Ontario today, had placed before them all the usual stock arguments of
the prohibition:lpropagandist. They had placed before them rows of figures
and lurid statements showing that prohibition was a success and that
Government Control was a failure.
In spiteoethis, the greater argument of personal experience and obser-
vation made them discard prohibition and adopt Government Control.
It is impossible to enurnerate all the reasons prompting the change, but
it is highly rhgnificant that, to take one example only, the Province of
Saskatchewan,.which for years had voted strongly, wheneverarty
arose, in favour aof prohibition, should.3as:t year have voted (leas agaiast
it; and the significance of this ie increased when there is taken into scat
what the people.. lave been told in Ontario regarding Manitoba. The people
in Saskatchewan have, by their geographical position, a much better oppor-
tunity of knowing the conditions in Manitoba than have those in Ontario,
and it will not be questioned that they had a much better opportunity
of knowing the,, conditions in their own Province than people residing
elsewhere.
Let it beiremembered that the system in Manitoba had been in operation
many months before the people in Saskatchewan voted on this question.
The conclusions are irresistible.
Prohibition was considered a lamentable failure in Manitoba, a lamen1eL
able failure in Ailberta, and a lamentable failure in Saskatchewan. For their
prohibitory laws these .Province adopted a policy of Government Control.
And Peohiieiion has been a lamentable failure in Ontario.
There is no substantial evidence anywhere that any of these Western
Provinces would revert to its old prohibitory system.
On the other hand, after less than twelve months, the revenues of the
Province of Manitoba have been increased by more than a million dollars
and for therfirst time in years they have balanced their Budget.
No one contends that Government Control has yet attained its last
3a degree of perfection. It is, however, contended that it is a better method
`. of dealing with those evils with which prohibition pretends to deal, and
-�r that in addition the revenues of the Province benefit.
