The National Efficiency Board’s Report in favour of the immediate abolition of the Liquor Traffic was no hasty or ill-considered document. It is an impartial weighing up of the evidence of more than sixty witnesses. Representatives of the Liquor Trade, as well as those of temperance organisations stated their case. The non-party evidence of general merchants, manufacturers, farmers, amployees, and of judicial, magisterial, medical and military authorities was also taken. Surely the whole question was never more impartially considered and every elector should weigh well the fact that the Board, after hearing all sides, reported that Prohibition was essential in the interests of permanent national efficiency. Sign the Alliance Monster Petition asking for a poll on this important question. Be sure you sign the right Petition! Look carefully, or you may be induced to support a proposal asking for nationalisation of the Drink Traffic with all its attendant evils. The Alliance Monster Petition is the one that every patriotic citizen should support. Sign it and no other. — (Advt.) Eighieenpence spent on NAZOL will keep you free from colds this winter.
