GOVERNMENT WINE
N.Z. ALLIANCE PROTEST. The standing committee of the New Zealand Alliance has adopted the following resolution for transmission to the Prime. Minister and the Minister of Agriculture:— “The standing committee of the New Zealand Alliance expresses its deep regret that in this time of economic depression, when the salaries of public servants have*been materially reduced, the Department of Agriculture should, by medium of a leaflet in the Public Service Journal, solicit orders for wines from civil servants. The committee protests against this attempt to induce civil servants to spend from £1 to £2 7s 6d or, more on intoxicating liquor, and alsb against the infringement of the law involved in the circulation of this solicitation in no-license districts. In view of the fact that wine is a harmful luxury the committee considers this official action deplorable on the part of a Government advocating economy.”
