George Cave (Homo Secretary), in answering suggestions. regarding Prohibition, said that if it was noccssary, to carry on the war, to ask the soldiers' and sailorsami the nation to give up drink, there.must be grounds for the sacrifice. They c'uuld not convince soldiers shivering in the trenches that the best thing was a glass of water, except on the grounds of national interest. The Government was prepared to go to any lengths necessary for victory, but it must deal with the facts of the case. The Government intended to ask the House for power to impose further restrictions on the manufacture of drink if necessary^—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
