ANCUCAN SYNOD'S CONDEMNATION OF PROHIBITION. Speaking on prohibiten at tho Australian Anglican Synod, held in Brisbane recently, Canon Batty (according to the Sydney ‘‘Sunday limes”) said “that prohibition did not prevent drunkenness, rather it drove it out of sight. The better way was to make drinking as public as nossiblo, not to !o it. There was also a very grave danger that uould .tester bitterness between classes. The rich man in America could obtain alcohol almost as easily as before prohibition, but it was not easy for the man without money, “One of the most dangerous arguments used was that prohibition would be assisting industrial efficiency. That was not so. Ho had spent some months in teetotal Mahommedan ! countries, and he had not been impressed with tho efficiency exhibited. “I do not fear tho competition <>i Egypt and Syria with beer-drinking England.” “One of the most serious tilings in cnnection with prohibition in America was that it had engendered a wholesale disregard for the law. Although prohibition was a measure of drastic interference there was no evidence that it had brought about social improvement.” It would be superfluous to add any oomment to tho above.
