A GRAVE 20 MILES LONG
THE VICTIMS OF VOLSTEADISM Frederick L. Hoffman, Consulting Statistician to the Prudential Insurance Co. of America, estimates that made Prohibition there are at least 10,000 murder cases in the United States every year. If the graves were placed in a line, the victims of murder would fill a trench 20 miles long. Prohibition America holds the world’s record for homicide —does that encourage you to vote against Continuance for New Zealand? Look at these figures, they show the percentage of murders per 100,000 of populat ion:— United States . . • • 7.2 Italy . . • • • • Australia . . • • 1-9 South Africa . . • • I*B New Zealand .. . . 9.9 Spain . . . • • • 9.9 England and Wales . . 9.8 Scotland .. • • 9.4 In the face of such evidence your own conscience will compel you to strike out the two bottom lines on your ballot paper and help to keep out this hypocritical and dangerous Prohibition law. Advt. 6.
