Prohibition Debate Amid Public Letters and Expert Testimony
A continental set of letters argues over prohibition policy with quotes from Peoria officials and national experts. It cites industrials, physicians, and social workers praising prohibition while noting opposition and support from wets, including statements by Gustav Pabst and others. The piece ends with TOM A. SYKBS presenting the closing view that prohibition has not failed and has not yet been adequately tried.
