“DRY” WORLD IN 1952.

• PUSSYFOOT’S PREDICTION. A of £lOO, ODO made recently to the Anti-Saloon Leage by Mr S. S. Kresgej, a multi-millionaire sixpenny department store owner, is the subject of an amusing controversy, says a New York message. The association against the prohibition amendment calls pointed attention to the “ elaborate display ” in Mr Kresge’s establishment in Washington of “ winfe kegs, wins presses, patented accessaries to assure the potent fermentation of, fruit juices, whisky, beer, champagne and cocktail glasses, decanters, cocktail shakers., bottling and corking machines, and other equipment necessary it distilling home brewing, and winej making.” The association sarcastically asks if Mr Kresge’si donation is to be financed by? the profits gained in the sale of these paraphernalia. Mr “ Pussyfoot ” Johnston, undeterred, by discovery on. his farm of. a larger still planted and operated there by bootleggers, indulges in the joyous prediction that the entire world will be dry in 1952. He reports that the prohibition movement in England and Scotland has grown “beyond our fondest expectations.” The only exceptions to the triumphant achievements of the prohibitionists, hq says, are to be found in Spain and Portugal.
