Has National Prohibition Increas ed Lawlessness and put the Boot leggers in Power? "It Is a common thing, In any discussion of prohibi tion, to hear prohibition condemned on the ground that it has brought about an increase of crime. There is a simple way to get at the root of that question. We have always had crime. But we have not always had prohibition. How, then, does the crime situation todny compare with the situation before prohibi tion? Dr. George W. Klrchwey Is recog nized nationally as a leading au thority on crime. He is president of the American Institute of Crimi nal Law and Criminlogy, a former Dean of Columbia School of law and a former warden of Sing Sing pri son. He has made searching studies of the subject. In the New York Times of May 26. 1929, he said: “The official record covering eigh teen years, 1910 to 1927, inclusive, shows a marked decline of from 35 to 40 per cent in the general crime rate in the United States.” That is significant. And it is especially significant in a period of post war reconstruction, when the normal ex pectancy would be Increase, not a decrease In crime. True, there Is bootlegging today— and its effects are undeniably evil. But contrary to the belief of many, bootlegging la not the step-child of prohibition. Long before the eighteenth amend ment was ever thought of, we had thousands of moonshine stills— and tens of thousands of “blind-pigs”— and deplorable corrupt politics— and liquor-bred law violators of every kind. Liquor and crime have al ways been boon companions. As a reminder of conditions ex isting before prohibition, it Is in teresting to review the following editorial from the Chicago Tribune of July 11, 1917: ”Ig the secret records of the brewing and distilling industries were ever brought to light, they would tell a story of so cial and political corruption un equalled In the annals of our histo ry.” If the veritable narrative of j the American saloon were ever writ- | ten it would make the decadence of Rome look like an age of pristine beauty in comparison. ^If these men have not made a practice of commit- tag murder and arson, it is because these crimes did not seem immediate ly profitable.
