Advocates of prohibition tell us that if their pet scheme became law the twenty odd thousand people in the Xew Zealand licensed trade would quickly be "absorbed by other industries."

The fact is, that if prohibition were carried, another twenty thousand at least would be added to our numbers of unemployed at the beginning of next winter.
