BRITISH EOT ASIANS. U.S. PROHIBITION. Mr. Vivian Carter, secretary of the British International Rotarians, and a former editor of The Bystander, is just back from his fourth trip to America, and is full of lively impressions of his visit. " As to prohibition, no doubt drink can be had in New York and the frontier cities, but the tales one hears of general drinking do not tally with our experience. j suppose we attended 20 banquets. Not once was there any sign of champagne, wine, or whisky. We did not ask for a drink and none was offered us. " Indeed, to be quite candid we saw few signs of drinking anywhere. The Americans who do drink, drink at home or run over to Cans-da or across the Atlantic, but even they are not agitating for any alteration in the law. " We discussed the question with everybody and were astonished at the unani niity with which we were told that the political saloon has been killed, savings deposits had increased, unemployment was rare, housewives had more money, outdoor sports were widely patronised and artisans were buying not only their cars, but their homes." London Star. August 19, 1925.—Advt.
