GOVERNMENT WINE.
N.Z. Alliance Makes Protest. The Standing Committee of the N.Z. Alliance has adopted the following resolution for transmission to the Prime Minister and the Minister of Agriculture : “ The Standing Committee of the N.Z. 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, through 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 also against the infringement of the law involved in the circulation of this solicitation in No-Licence 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.”
