Open Letter to the People of Canada

__ HIS STATEMENT is being published in the Daily Papers in every

1 Province of Canada in order to call attention to the . following facts:

the Citizens of Canada, including all the soldiers, shall liii\‘t~ liad ini opportunity to vote on the question of making it permanent.

Fourth fact: T here is an insidious and far-reaching propaganda now being tarried

on which aims to discredit the Prohibitory Laws and restore liquor- drinking for the personal profit of _ the Liquor-Seller.

The requisite number of State Legislatures in the United States having adopted the Prohibition Amendment, Canada must act in harmony with it or become the dumping ground for liquor and its iirifortunatc victims. /"
