STRONG DRINK.
DOES PROHIBITION DIMINISH CONSUMPTION? United Press Association—By. Eleotrio Tekgi sph—Copyright. (Received March 16, 10.10 a.m.) SYDNEY, March 16. The " Sydney Daily Telegraph," commenting on New Zealand's drink bill, says that once more the unanswered riddle why the consumption of strong drink increases where prohibition is gaining ground has-been raised by the New Zealand drink bill. After dealing with several possible explanations, it says: "After all, these drink bills are inevitably unsatisfactory. What they show is not what the community drinks, but lioav much is drunk by drinkers who cannot be dissociated from the rest. The statistics would be really informing if they recorded the number of tipplers year by year, and thus answer the vital question whether the abstainers are increasing or decreasing."
