CANADIANS ANNOYED
MRS ASQUITH’S CRITICISM. “SLANDER AND RIDICULE.” VANCOUVER, March 7. A message from Toronto says that women’s organisations have passed resolutions strongly -disapproving of Mrs H. H. Asquith’s “slander and ridicule of Canada’s laws, especially the liquor law.” [An earlier message from Toronto stated that Mrs H. H. Asquith, who arrived in the United States as a tentative prohibitionist, returned from a tour a confirmed “wet.” .... “I was much in favour of prohibition at first,” she said, “because I thought that it might end drinking among the poor, but a little experience of the actual working quickly changes one’s views. The drinking by your young men and maidens is shocking. I am told that nothing like it was known before the days of prohibition. It is considered chio to violate the law.”)
