NO-LICENSE.
Per Press Association.
ELTHAM, December 1-1.
The Egmont No-license Council passed the following resolutions: "That this Council, while of opinion that the advent of dominion prohibition should have been considerably hastened by the passing into law of the proposed compromise Licensing Bill, is of opinion that the representative convention of No-license delegates, held recently in Wellington, acted honestly on the two issues of No-license and dominion prohibition being kept separate, as it would be Avrong to compel a voter who believed in No-license, but not in dominion prohibition, or vice versa, to vote for what ho did not want in order to secure the measure he desired." (2) '•That this Council heartily approves of the action of the Parliamentary Committee in eliminating the provision for the sale of intoxicants from the Defence Bill, and insists that, in the interests of the youth of the dominion, Parliament will see fit to ratify this decision."
