A NEW ZEALANDER’S TESTIMONY.
The following are extracts from a letter by Mr T. Simpson, Superintendent and Engineer of the Auckland Farmers’ Freezing Company, Ltd., written to the directors while engaged on the company’s business in America. The fact that Mr Simpson is neither a teetotaler nor "a prohibitionist adds force to the testimony he bears. . The directors cabled for permission to publish the extracts, consequently we are at liberty to make what use we like of them; — “3rd July, 1919.—“ . . San Francisco is bone dry. V hen I was here seven years ago 1 thought of all the places in the world I had been in (and you know I have been in a good many) this was (he worst. To-day it is like our picnic at Alotutapu.” “New York, 31st July, 1919.
“ , . . , Prohibition Is an actual fact in this country, and it is wonderful. I have gone slumming in San Francisco, Chicago. Pittsberg and New York, and have not seen anyone showing the effects of drink, let alone being drunk.’’*
