LIQUOR ADVERTISING.
"Absurd Bill" Negatived by House of Lords. BISHOP OF LONDON'S VIEW. LONDON, March 2!). In the House of Lords yesterday, Lord Arnold moved the second reading of the Intoxicating Liquor Advertisement Regulation Bill. He said that drink advei tisenients had become a public danger. Because the consumption of beer had steadily declined since the war, said Lord Arnold, brewers had embarked upon an advertising campaign to tempt the new generation. These advertisements should be restricted, as had been already done with moneylenders' advertisements.
Lord Askwith moved the rejection of what he termed an "absurd and unenforceable bill, under which Omar Khayyam would have to be prohibited, the Bible expurgated and Horace quoted with the greatest care." The Bishop of London, Dr. A. F. Winnington-Ingram, as "a non-fanatical teetotaller," supported the bill. The Earl of Eeversham said the Government regarded the bill as neither practicable nor justifiable. The measure was negatived without a division.
