“ON THE WRONG LINES”

FIGHT FOR PROHIBITION “EDUCATE THE PEOPLE.” “In fighting the liquor traffic in New Zealand I think we have been spending too much time in trying to carry prohibition, and not enough time in educating the people to the advantages of not drinking,” stated Mr W. D. Hunt, when responding to the toast of his health at the New Zealand Alliance luncheon yesterday. “The future policy of the alliance will have to be more in the nature of an educational programme, and if we can carry this out as it is intended to do, I think we we will do much better work, and will secure a greater number of votes. . . And I don’t think the alliance will meet with much opposition because no man or woman wants their sons to drink.” Tho sentiments of Mr Hunt were corroborated by tho Hon. Goo. Fowlds, who said that the failure to secure victory in the fight only spurred the workers in the alliance on to further effort—and he believed, to ultimate victory. In America he had not seen the violation of the laws that was claimed, but he had heard that the violation existed.
