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. The liquor business
has been the faithful ally of every
