DOMINION PROHIBITION VOTE.
COERCIVE POWER GIVEN,
WILL BE EXERCISED.
(Received Dec. 19, 9 a.m.)
SYDNEY, Dec. 18,
"Fair Play," the 'liquor trade's journal, states that it would be simply folly to attempt to discount the significance of the prohibition poll in New Zealand. It is the most serious political event that has ever happened in these states.
With the majority they appear to possess the prohibitionists can coerce Parliament into" doing what they are pleased to regard as good for them. That these people will follow their advantage goes without saying. The whole of the civilised world will watch with interest the working out of this strange situation.
