BILL TO PROHIBIT
LIQUOR ADVERTISEMENTS
FIRST READING REFUSED
LONDON, 25 th March. The House of Commons by 127 votqs to 112 refused the first reading of a private Bill by a Labour member, Mr. i-. Winterton, to prevent Jill advertisements of intoxicating liquor. Mr. Winterton expressed the opinion that Parliament's permanent intention, was to restrain tlio liquor trade, btfc the distillers and brewers -were using their swollen profits to increase it. If Macaulay's New Zoalander now walked London's streets he would believo that a certain brewer was the hero of tho day. Mr. P. A. Macquistcn (CO, leading the opposition, said it was impossible to argue with those who had th© Prohibition mierobo in their blood. Afi-vertisement-s only wasted distillers^ and brewers' good money. Good liquor needed no advertisement.
