WET AND DRY SENATORS

GLARING ANOMALIES SEEN IN AMERICA JUDGE OFFERS LIQUOR Reed. 9.30 a.m. LONDON, Monday. Miss Kdit.li Onions, oi Melbourne, who is returning to Australia by the Orsova, investigated social welfare in America, on the Continent and in Britain. She said it was untrue to say that prohibition had increased crime and drug-taking in America. However, there were glaring anomalies. *‘f can vouch for one instance in which a judge sentenced a bootlegger and then adjourned to a private room and immediately offered liquor to a visiting Australian. Undoubtedly the wealthy people obtain liquor, but the wild tales of speakeasies are exaggerated. "it is a national joke that Senators vote dry and live wet. “In contrast to this, Sweden has State control. Liquor purchasers arc forced to present a book weekly, on which any offences are endorsed. It they are excessive drinkers, they are refused a supply. “The Swedes and Danes arc the finest migrants Australia could desire. “I ‘slummed’ in London with Lady Charlotte Rous. Typical slums like Bethnal Green have been transformed, altering the entire life of the occupants.”
