'Phone, 115W. 3999 A REPLY BY A PROHIBITIONIST TO THE EVOLUTION OF A STATESMAN BY THE LIQUOR PARTY, Soon after the War commenced Mr. Lloyd George said: "Drink was a greater enomy than Germany." So say our opponents' in an advertisement in the paperH. Proceeding, they say that Mr. Lloyd George changed his views. Assuming that he has, let us see it: he was justified in doing so. Dunne the last fifty years England was deprived of man power equal to the whole of the British Army 0f1917. , There -was surely some cause for .this. It-K^ta •' ■' ••..-"■ / . - DRINK. During the first 900 days of the war the nation lost of its total working capacity e*?ual to 100 days. Or, i;; other words, THE WHOLE OF THK WORKERS of tub Nation during the first 900 days of the' War was idle for 100 days through DRINK. During four months of 1917 the motor patrol waggons in London travellad 6389 miles, and picked up 17,000 drunk soldiers, through DKiNK. 111 one shipyard in England, with jROOO men employed, in one week, on I three days of the week over 909 were I absent; on two days nearly 900 were I absent; on Saturday 600 were absent; and 15C0 more lost a quarter every day; through DRINK. : In a certain shipyard "on the Clyde, .in a critical period of the war, THE j LOST TIME IN ONE MONTH WAS i-EQUAL to 75,000 MEN H>LE FOli . ONE DAY, and all through In 191 r, Mr. Lloyd George said that by stopping drink we add a vast army of men to our armament works, vilihout spending one penny on additional {facilities, without putting down an additional machine, without adding to -the suosruision of ths men; but, on the contrary, lessening the supervision—all by one act of sacrifice on the part of the nation In order to strengthen and wrest and win through to victory for our - country. , !S IT LIKELY HE HAS CHANCED HIS MIND?. 4027
