LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

■THE. ■ NEW ZEALAND ALLIANCE

(Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day

At the annual meeting of the New Zealand Alliance, amongst the items noted in the annual review, were protests by way of meetings and deputations against proposals to introduce license within the King Country, and numerous violations of the licensing law in regard to six o'clock closing. In regard to the latter, the report states: "The fact that six o'clock closing is better observed than was ten o'clock, or eleven o'clock, is not good enough for all the trade. Between 6 p.m. and 9 a.m. it is illegal to trade, and the practice should be stopped at once and for ever. The police have more time and better facilities than ever they had Under the longer hours of sale." The report also points out that whereas the liquor'traffic had promised revenue of two and a half millions per annum, the official figures for the 1922 and 1923 calendar years total only £3,024,739, instead of five millions; that is to say, over two years the deficit is £1,975,261, as compared with what the liquor traffic had promised voters.
