LADY ASTOR STRONG FOR PROHLTTION Sails for Home With Conviction for Prohibition. ENJOYS HER TRIP NEW YORK. May 23.—Thousands of friends and admirers of Lady Nancy Astor cheered and waved her farewell as she embarked today on the Aquitania for her homeward voyage in company with Lord Astor. Lord Aster's last act before going on board was to give out to the reporters a statement concerning prohibition, written by Lady Astor. "Prohibition on the whole is a good thing for America, I am convinced,” Lady Astor declared. "I have talked with all sorts of people on the matter. I have also been entertained in the homes of rich and poor and believe the majority of people favor it, now that they have seen it in operation. “As to tho rich people in America having all they want to drink, 1 have mj doubts. There may be a few in that class. “I am asked what 1 shall do to work for prohibition In England. This much I know. I shall support the adoption of legislation giving localities the right to decide by direct vote whether or not they want drink to continue and to extend the method to which it is to be sold. That Is a democratic way to settle it."
