"REFORM NECESSARY."
PRELATE ON LIQUOR PROBLEM
"MIDDLE WAT" FAVOURED.
ENTITLED TO CONSIDERATION.
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)
WELLINGTON, this day,
Archbishop O'Shea believes that the proposals submitted to the Prime Minister by the Middle Way League yesterday, that the sale of light wines and ales should be encouraged, as against spirits, are on the right lines. "Most of the evils resulting from the abuse of intoxicants is owing to excess in the use of spirits and the stronger brands of liquor," he said in an interview to-day. He believed that reform was necessary in the liquor business, and that the proposals of the Middle Way League should be given a chance of consideration by the people. He felt sure that moderate people who believed neither in total prohibition nor in the present state of things under license were in a great majority in this country, and that their views should be given consideration.
