JUDGMENT THAT MUST BE RESPECTED
(Published by Arrangement.) Run your eyes carefully over the following names, at the same time considering carefully whether there is even one person in New Zealand whose knowledge and judgment is superior to that of their unanimous opinion:— Archbishop of Canterbury. Right Hon. Stanley Baldwin. Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain. Lord Askwith. Right Hon. Winston Churchill. Earl Haig. Sir Philip Gibbs. Sir Walter Scott. Lord Birkenhead. ' Beverley Nicholls. Arnold Bennett. G. K. Chesterton. Lord Dawson of Penn. Lord Horder. Cardinal Gibbons. Bishop of Hereford. Bishop of Chester. Bishop of Worcester. Bishop of Aberdeen and Orkney. Sir Basil Thomson. - Miss Annie S. Swan. Rebecca West. Cosmo Hamilton. Jeffrey Farnol. Among authors in every walk of life—statesmen, churchmen, lawyers, doctors, leaders of industry, authors —it is practically impossible _to find a single supporter of prohibition. A I few who may have, been favourably disposed towards the idea at one time have revised their opinion. It is hard to believe, therefore, that any person with ordinary common sense, and free from unreasonable prejudice, can set his own judgment above that of men and women who have more than ordinary knowledge of social and economic problems. It is confidently anticipated, therefore, that New Zealanders will reveal to the world at the forthcoming licensing referendum a solid common sense vote for Continuance. (8)
