It is the most important prob- lem confronting western civilization, IWe in Canada have about 500 ad- dicts of cocaine, heroin and similar drugs, but we have more than 100, • 000 alcoholics. The W.H.O. defines drug addiction as a state of chronic intoxication detrimental to the indi- vi dual and to society, Dr. Andred C. vice-president of the University •of Illinois, addressing the school of narcotics in session in Saskatoon recently, deplored the fact that the W.H.O. had not the courage to in- clude alcohol amongst such devastat- ing drugs as heroin and cocaine, be- cause it would cause international stir. Yet the startling amount of damage to society done by alcohol- ism in Ontario is seen when certain occupational statistics are presented. A study of the occupational status of 200 alcoholics was made by the Alcoholism Research Foundation of Ontario. Professional and Executive folk, 16.5 per cent, White Collar, 32.5 per cent, Skilled, 2.6.5 per cent, Unskilled, 20.0 per cent, Unknown, 7.5 per cent. Thus 72 per cent of those whom liquor masters might 'be called the brains of the country. As alcoholics they are a dead loss to the country economically. Indeed, they are much more than that. John W. Foote, our Provincial Reforms Insti- tutions Minister, declared in a pro- vincial -affairs 'broadcast in April last, that keeping alcoholics in re- form institutions will cost Ontario more than 53,600,00 this year.— Advt.
