N.S.W. DRINK BILL.
THE "HERALD'S" VIEW
(United Press Association.—Copvricht) SYDNEY, April 30. The "Herald," commenting on the drink bill, gays that very few people not directly benefiting from the trad© can view the very large increase of expenditure on drink without regret. The lamentable fact remains that Till the labour put into .the work' of reform has not apparently affected either the drinking habits of the people or the steadily increasing revenue derived from the sale, wherein every person, including the most vigorous opponent of the trade, shares. The paper advocates, as the best remedy for checking the growth, the elimination of the factor of private profit.
