A CANTERBURY OPINION.
“WE ARE LOSING GROUND QUICKLY.” The president of the Canterbury Licensed Victuallers’ states that the Licensing Bill is disappointing because it does not follow the lines of last year’s much-discuss-ed compact. “All in all,” he stated to an interviewer, “we have a feeling that we have lost a good deal, and that we are losing ground very quickly now. We certainly feel that the question should be settled one way or the other, and should be left to the discretion of the people.” Mr. E- Nordon, secretary of the association, points out that, according to the summary of the Bill telegraphed, no provision is included in the Bill for the restoration of licenses on a 55 per cent, basis. He is of opinion that the Bill is a capitulation to the Prohibition party.
