THE COAL OF INDIA —PROHIBITION.
“The Times,” of India is one of the most important newspavers in the whole British Km pi re. It is highly significant of the turn which opinion is taking, tGat it should use the fol lowing radical expressions: “What should be the goal that every c ivilised staui‘marks out for itself towards the liquor question? We have not the slightest hesitation in saying that it should be the complete and absolute Prohibition of the sale of alto hoi. There is, it seems to use no half way house in this matter. . . . In India we have to insist that the goal which the State deliberately sets itself is the absolute Prohibition of the sale of alcohol as a beverage, fully recognising that the goal is very distant, but that our immediate policy shall be framed to its ultimate attainment. The struggle for life in the future will be so intense that there will be no place in the world for societies sodden with alcohol, and itaccompaniments lunacy, disease, crime.”—“Record of Christian Work.”
