WHAT A MODERATE SAYS
<: Mr Larkin, recently appointed High Commissioner for Canada in London, is reported in tho ‘Observer’ of April 2 as follows: —“Prohibition, popularly speaking, was popular in the dominion, and there was no doubt it was exercising a most beneficial effect. I think more especially of the effect of strong drink upon the poorest and weakest. The small debtor is paying his debts more regularly; • contractors say their workmen work more regularly. I know there are well-to-do folk who have well-lined cellars, but they will disappear in' time, I am not a total abstainer, but I cannot help testifying to the good effects of Prohibition. I know of tbo good effect it has had in more than one direction in tho work if our hospitals.”' The N.Z. Liquor Traffic recently stated Prohibition had “failed” in Canada. Sounds like it, doesn’t it? Prohibition in N.Z. is worth a trial.—N.Z. Alliance Publicity (56).
