BUT ARE BADLY" DISAPPOINTED
BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT
OTTAWA, Alay 26. Americans who are arranging to hasten to Ontario coincident with the lifting of the liquor ban, Ontario 1 laving reverted to license, will be sadly disappointed according to an announcement made by the Ontario Liquor Board, which forbids purchase without a permit.
Air. D. B. Hannia, chairman of the board, declared: “We have nothing against cur American friends, but they must be contented with standing around: and watching how it is possible to protect a liquor store with dignity and propriety.” Owing to the impossibility of Americans obtaining permits, the board has delivered: a terrific blow to thirsty thousands in the United States. Special trains which were arranged to accommodate the anticipated rush now will unquestionably be cancelled unless the regulations are modified.
