Swedish Editor Sees No Benefits to U S Prohibition
Dr Helmer Key editor of Svenska Dagbladet toured the United States last year and published An American Journey. He finds American culture still European in influence but notes potential intellectual leadership if education and research继续 rise, criticizes motion pictures, politics, and party structure as mere mass alignments, and concludes prohibition goods do not curb drinking or help workers or farmers. He cites plentiful illegal access and economic no gains from a dry nation.
