BREWERS IN CONFERENCE.
A secret meeting of representative* of the brewing interests in Middle Europe was held in Berlin, and a correspondent in thiit city sent details to the ‘Vhristlan Scieno* Monitor.” The I ‘resident of German Brewery Association presided, and urged the need of secrecy, and stated that “the enemies of the German (brewery trade were more active than ever before." He adfled that the teetotallers were "impertinent," and unless a resolute defence was made the German brewery trade would “go under.” The need of being united against all teetotallers was stressed. The heavy “taxation” drew forth many groans as it diminished their profits. The Secretary of tin “wets” in Switzerland urged them to use the daily press to scatter all opinions adverse to Prohihition. It was admitted by all that Scientific Temperance Instruction in America was responsible for Prohibition in that country, and that it would be hard to reverse. We are interested to see that the “w r ets” are *not optimistic, and we hope the instruction in our New Zealand schools will bring about rv'sults like it has in IT.S.A.
