The Prohibitionists Contend That New Zoolond Efficiency >' r , . ’ “V !; * Has Been Impaired by Drink. 'V ' • •: *!V •■ ■ ■• ■ ‘Yx ; * i It is a Lie I The record during the war, both al Home and Overseas, proves this to be a libel and a lie. Our small community has I found 41 millions of local money to finance the war, we have / provided 100,000 of the best fighting men in the world to the Allied cause—vouched for .as such by General Birdwood himself -we have contributed over £5,000,000 to the patriotic objects, we have paid over £12,000,000 in extra taxation over the war period; our exports, in spite of the shortage of men at the front, have been greater than ever. Does this record point to impaired efficiency? Our New Zealand record is one of EFFICIENCY, and we are proud of it.
