LIQUOR ADVERTISEMENTS
RESTRICTION BILL BEFORE LORDS DEFEATED AT SECOND READING Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, March 28. In the House of Lords Lord Arnold moved the second reading of the Intoxicating Liquor Advertisement Regulation Bill. He said that drink advertisements had become a public danger. Because the consumption of beer had steadily declined since the war brewers had embarked on an advertisement campaign to'tempt the new generation. Advertisements should be restricted, as was already done with money lenders’ advertisements. Lord Askwith moved the rejection of an “absurd, unenforceable Bill under which Omar Khayyam would have to be prolfibited, the Bible expurgated, and Horace quoted with the greatest care. The Bishop of London, as a nonfanatical teetotaller, supported the Bill. The Earl of Fevershaw said that the Government regarded the Bill as neither practicable nor justifiable. The Bill was negatived without a division.
