THE APPEAL TO BRITAIN FROM AMERICAN PROHIBITIONISTS
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] 'SIR,—The extraordinary misstatements contained in the letter to the Spectator of June 20 from the " Citizens' Com- mittee of One Thousand," whatever that may be, ought not to pass without a protest. I have no desire to discuss in your columns the question of Prohibition, but the fact that it is a complete failure in the United States is indisputable. The frantic efforts to enforce the Volstead Act offer sufficient proof of this, and conditions are constantly becoming worse instead of better. The fanatics who believe that personal habits can be regulated by law refuse to admit this. Our prosecuting officials, our judges, and the great mass of sensible citizens know it is true. The British public should not be deluded by Anti-Saloon League propaganda.—I am, Sir, &c., Philadelphia, July 2nd, 1925. EDWARD FULLER.
