THE PROHIBITION POLL. “ I am in favour of Prohibition, but 1 am against paying a cent of compensation to The Trade,” says many a moderate drinker. Tens of thousands of New Zealand electors feel exactly the same way, yet have determined to strike out the top line on Thursday, April 10 for a very good reason. They realise that compensation is only being paid so that Prohibition can operate immediately instead of giving the Trade four and a-lnlf years’ additional life provided under the old Act. The National Efficiency Board—a body of keen, shrewd business men, unbiassed by any consideration as regards the moral aspectafter hearing the sworn evidence of both Prohibition and liquor advocates, decided that it was essential in the national , interest that Prohibition; 1 should be secured at once. The report is a startling indictment of theliquor trade, yet, despite this fact, theBoard also recommended the payment of compensation. Why? Because it realised that Prohibition should be secured immediately. See to it that New Zealand obtains this great reform on Thursday, April 10. Strike out the top line!
