LIQUOR TRADE
EXPERIENCES IN ENGLAND
The .Boy. James Barr, 8.D., M.P., of Scotland, was the chief guest and speaker at a luncheon given by the New Zealand Alliance to-day. The Key. F. E. Harry, president of the Wellington area of the New Zealand Alliance, was in the chair, and there was a large attendance, including several members of Parliament . and members of the Dominion executive of the Alliance. Mr. Barr said that one of the thin erg that struck him when he first went into Parliament was the high tone that prevailed. As they were meeting under the aegis of the Alliance, he might tell them that fifty-six members of the Labour Party were total abstainers and the large number were keen temperance reformers, particularly the Scottish members. The ■ speaker went on to review the history of the temperance movement in the United Kingdom. His remarks were listened to with close attention, and he was accorded a hearty vote of thanks.
