NEW ZEALAND DRINK BILL.
. — 9 -. INCREASE COMMENTED ON. By.Tdcgraph-PrcssAsisaciation-C-opyrlßlit _, Sydney, March lfi. The "Sydney Daily Telegraph" says: 'Once more the unanswered riddle, why the consumption of strong drink increase's where prohibition is gaining ground, is raised ,by the New Zealand Drink Bill." . After dealing with several possible explanations, the. paper continues: "After all, these drink Bills are inevitably unsatisfactory. What they show is not what the community drinks, but how much is drunk by drinkers whom they cannot dissociate from the rest. The statistics would be really informing' if they recorded the number of -tipplers- year by year, and thus answer the vital question whether the abstainers nra increasing or decreasing."
