PROF. FELDMAN MAKES SURVEY OF PROHIBITION

Prof. Herman Feldman of the Tuck School conducted a nation-wide survey on prohibition in its economic and industrial aspects for the "Christian Science Monitor," Boston. The series of articles ran for several weeks and were concluded June 30.

Concerning the work done by Prof. Feldman and the results he achieved the "Monitor" says editorially: "Professor Feldman spent months of time and th e unflagging energies of a trained investigator in carrying his survey to a conclusion. It has been a matter of great interest to the Monitor to observe that, not-withstanding the fact that so very great a proportion of the press of the United States, and of newspapers published in great cities, is antagonistic to prohibition, there has been no successful attempt to controvert his figures or his views, and indeed no serious attack upon his conclusions. The articles have been discussed editorially in papers all the way from Cape Cod to the Golden Gate. It has been intresting to note how each of these papers picked up that phase of prohibition which was of particular interest in its own environment, and found that local conditions corroborated Professor Feldman's findings for the country at large.

"The Evanston (111.) News-Index, published at the borders of the greatest industrial city in the United States, makes this comment: "Professor Feldman is making the same kind of discovery which was reported from industrial centers broadly over the United States to the National Conference of Social Work. We should say, having read the former and heard the latter, that reasonable men must accept it as one of the products of national prohibition—whether the same result could have been better achieved by some other means or not—that prohibition has greatly helped the unskilled and semiskilled workmen of America and their families."
