SOLDIERS’ RIGHT TO DRINK
Archbishop Advocates Wet Canteens Archbishop Duhig. Brisbane, recently strongly advocated the establishment of wet canteens in military camps. “After what I have seen and heard about how soldiers spend their week-
ends in Brisbane,’’ lie said, “I have no hesitation in advocating wet -canteens. It is, I believe, far better for soldiers to get drink in camp than to save up for a weekend orgy. The soldier has a right to drink as well as anyone else, and provided there is proper supervision, there can be nd objection to wet canteens. Soldiers are not children. They are men. The attitude of certain people to the question of wet canteens is ludicrous. They fail to realize that they are only playing with the problem and that their opposition to wet canteens is sheer nonsense.”
