LIQUOR AND CENSORS
BERMUDA’S CONTROVERSY. [BY CABLE—PRESS assn.—copyright.] (Recd. January 17,’ 10 a.m.) BERMUDA, January 16. Heated arguments and criticism have caused the postponement of the Bill to permit liquor licensing of the Bermudiana Hotel,, which is the rooming headquarters of the Imperial Censorship staff. Assemblymen asserted that liquor in the hotel would be detrimental to the work of the censors. One expressed the opinion that “the hotel would become a hotbed of Fjfth Columnists, and the censors were likely to unloosen their lips and forget their pledge of secrecy.” I Supporters of the measure insisted that censors “shouldn’t be treated like children.”
