LIQUOR TALKS
BELIEF IN BERMUDA
A SOBER CENSORSHIP
(Received January 17, 11 a.m.)
BERMUDA, January 16,
Heated arguments and criticism have caused a postponement of the Bill to permit liquor licensing of the Bermudiana Hotel, the rooming headquarters of the Imperial censorship staff and members of the Assembly.
It is asserted that liquor in the hotel would be detrimental to the work of the censors, and one man said: "The hotel would become a hotbed of 'fifth columnists' and a censor would be likely to loosen his lips and forget his pledge of secrecy."
The proponents of the Bill insisted that the censors "should not be treated like children."
