On the success of prohibition in
the United States depends the wet
ness or dryness of the rest of th-j
world, according to Lars Larsen -Ledet.
"the fightin geditor of Den
mark." Mr. Larsen-Ledet, who is not a
professional prohibitionist, but the
editor of the Afholdsdagbladet, of
Aarhus, one of the largest and most
influential daily newspapers in Den
mark, came to Washington from Den
mark to attend the big Anti-Saloon
League convention.
''Militarism and drink are both rel
ics of barbarism," says Larsen-Ledet.
''America has helped Europe to crush
the first of them, and social and
moral reformers in Europe are now
grateful because you will help to
crush the second.
"What we want you to do is to en
force the prohibition law; if it is not
enforced here, we will never get pro
hibition in Europe."
''Do the working people of Denmark
approve of prohibition?" I asked this
stalwart Norseman.
"Outside of Copenhagen they do. '
he replied. "In Copenhagen 70 per
cent are opposed to prohibition, but
in the rest of the country only 30
per cent are opposed.
"The prohibition movement has the
support of the government and of the
majority of the people, but the liquor
traffic has more money and spends
it.
"In Denmark we have a form f
local option, and during the war the
manqfacture of distilled drinks and
the use of corn in the making of
liquor was prohibited. All the war
laws ore., to be repealed soon, but 723,
000 men and. women 60 per cent of
the electors have signed a petition
asking for the maintenance of war
time prohibition, and for a plebiscite
on complete and 'permanent prohibi
tion. "King Frederick, of Denmark. was
the first ruler to sign a prohibition
law that of Iceland in 1909. Iceland's
law went into effect in 1916 and the
Iceland prime minister told a corres
pondent of my paper recently that
the results were good, and that the
majority of the people approved of it.
Greenland, too, has had prohibition
for several years."
I asked him about the situation in
the other Scandinavian countries.
"Sweden has different restrictions."'
he said. "The chief one Is that each
drinker is rationed. During the war
the manufacture of distilled liquors
was forbidden. The Swedish lower
house is in favor of complete prohi
bition, but the senate is against it.
There will be a referendum in Swe
den soon, and I am confident that
prohibition will be carried.
"Norway is two-thirds dry through
local option laws. The whole country
was dry during the war. In the last
election the conservative party fougbt
the government's temperance policy,
and its members went to the polls
with a Bible under one arm and a. bot
tle under the other. The war measure
are to be repealed, but in Norway,
too, a plebiscite is to be held soon,
and prohibition will win.
"The new German government fav
ors prohibition of distilled liquors, but
not beer and wine. There was a.
strong movement for complete prohi
bition in Germany before the war, and
I feel sure it will soon be renewed.
"In England, half the people are in
favor of prohibition and the other
half favor a state monopoly and a ra
tioning system similar to that whlcn
! was in effect during the war. Scot
land has local option, and a vote will
be taken in every parish next year.
American speakers, American litera
ture and American money are help
ing the fight in Scotland.
"The Latin countries France, Italy,
Spain and Portugal can be carried
for prohibition, but it will take sev
eral years hard work, as there is little
or no sentiment for prohibition in
them. A big step was taken In France
during the by the prohibition of
absinthe, hov r, and it was so suc
cessful that KMs to be extended for
peace.
