MR. ISITT'S PREDICTION
NWZRALANDTOBE "BONE-DRY."
"I am confident," remarked Mr. Isitt in the House of Representatives (last night, "that before six months are over we shall follow the example of the United States, and that once and forever we shall roll off the back of this Dominion, this terrible incubus—the liquor traffic; and instead of the Prime Minister finding financial difficulties he will find— even if at first there may be some little difficulties in adjusting the taxation— that before very long the country will be more than compensated by . the destruction of the craving that tells against efficiency and that encourages pauperism and crime. The Government will then receive such benefits in, other directions that the Prime Minister will be glad that at last our efforts have been crowned with success, and that we have given him this assistance in dealing with the difficulties of the financial position of-1923." ,
