British Liquor Restrictions. Mr. Havelock Wilson Demands More and Better Beer. I In the course of an article in the Empire Review (January 12) Mr Havelock Wilson M.P. (Secretary of i British Seamen's Union), writes: — Recently I have received rrany complaints from workingmen, soldiers, and sailors with regard to the re- \ strictions on drink. They all say "We are not children." 1 entirely agree with them. Why should they be prevented from having a glass of beer they enjoy, and under favourable conditions. So much do I agree with their general standpoint that I have already declared my intention of moving, at the first opportunity, in the direction of a relaxation of restrictions on drink. I have had the benefit of travel in a good many countries. I have been in the majority of the United i States of America. ' V My experience has been that under restrictions there, which render States "dry" or "bone-dry" as the case ! may be, people are driven to hypocrisy, petty breaches of the law which hold it up to contempt, or to drugs of i the most dangerous kind. The public-house of the future, if it has to exist, must be the worker's club, and it should be fitted up and so constructed that no working man need be ashamed to take his wife within its portals. I On the Continent they have cafes where men are able not only to take their wives, but their cllildren also. I have little patience or sympa^'iy with many reformers of the restrictive class as regards drink. They usually have £10,000 a year and some fine old port somewhere about their houses. They look over the walls of their rose gardens and see a horribly sordid world —so it is—and they decide it shall be improved by kneading all the population up into a moral dough and parcelling them all out in finelycut cubes. Bah! it has never yet been done and cannot be done with human nature. Let us have common-sense! j I have seen men standing in front of furnaces while the iron or steel was being heated. I have observed them amid very hells of heat, shaping anchors, crankshafts, and other parts. These men—men around Manchester, Bolton, Sheffield, R'otherham, Wakefield. Darlington, Middlesbrough, Newcastle, and right through to Staffordshire—the most populous parts of this country—perform very exhausting work, and a pint or two of good beer a day acts as a stimulant. ; Doctors, of course, might take an opposite view as to its value; but I know v.'iat I have seen, and these ; men I describe have felt none the worse and much better for good beer * I say "good" beer, because I want to see the rubbish supplied under restrictions during the past three or four years made "an offence under D.0.R.A." We want to get back to pure beer Jays, not the doctored stuff. That is largely a matter for the Trade* itself. If the;- do not want to encourrge interference with their business they will study their clients interests, as I feel bound to say the large majority are over ready to do. So important is this matter that I shall not be surprised Jf one of the first acts of the Naw Cabinet is to increase the tutrut of oeer, and to permit distilleries to resume their operations, in my view no time should be lost. Liverpool Dockers and Shortage of Beer. EX-FOOD CONTROLLER'S REPLY. MR JAMES SEXTON, M.P., THE LIVERPOOL DOCKERS' UNION SECRETARY, was requested on January 15 to hand to the Food Controller a protest against the shortage of beer in pi.'Rehouses along the line of the docks. Unless the supply was increased and the pricces reduced the men threatened to cease work. They also demanded the "opening of publichouses at 5 o'clock, so that they could obtain refreshment on leaving work. REPLYING ON JANUARY 17 TO MR SEXTON, MR CLYNES WROTE: The feeling amongst your members is similar to that shown amongst industrial workers in several other centres. Since the armistice was signed and materials for brewing ceased.to be in competition vith the claims ,for materials for fo^d, I have urged the necessity for three definite steps with regard to the demand for beer;—----(1) A CONSIDERABLE INCREASE IN THE SUPPLIES. (2) AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE QUALITY OF THE LOWER GRADE BEER. (3) AN ADJUSTMENT.IN PRICE WHICH WOULD CHEAPEN ESPECIALLY THE BEERS NOW SOLD AT HIGH PRICES IN ROOMS OTHER THAN A PUBLIC BAR. All the facts and arguments are befrre Cabinet, and I have repeatedly urged thb importance o? measures being taken which need not materially interfere with the reforms which have been effected in temperance habits during the period of the war. It would be better for the Government to take action 'o meet reasonable demands before industrial trouble may compel changes. I wrote to Mr Roberts on these lines as soon as he was appointed to succeed me at the Ministry of Food, and I am sure he will act in the matter. (1) I VOTE FOR NATIONAL CONTINUANCE (2) ,1 VCTC FOR STATE PURCHASE AND CONTROL. (6) i yuup rwi n/itiun/iLf rnuuiuiuua ON DECEMBER 17. —ADVT.
