LONDON. April 1.-THE Daily Express
understands that the Government is con-
sldering u state monopoly in beer as q
solution OF the drink problem. The
main principle OF the scheme is that only
beer brewed and sold by the Government
shall he drunk. No strong or heavy beer
is to be brewed only the lager type.
Chancellor Lloyd George is response ble
for the scheme, which is approved in It's
general outline by the whole Cabinet
The details are being arranged by a
committee presided over by Herbert
Samuel, President of the Local Govern
ment Board. assisted by experts and
licensing reformers. An agreement has
already been reached on the following
details
All breweries and licensed public
houses in Great Britain and ireland
are tn be bought outright.
Brewing by private firms is to he
made illegal
The money necessary for the pur-
chash of the breweries and saloons is
estimated at between f2O0. 000.o 900 and

Ii is expected that large economies
will be effected by the closing of COM
petin. breweries and unnecessary pub
lie houses by the concentration Of man
agerient and the brewing OF cheaper
beer.
The Daily cypress, which is one of
the most virulent opponents OF the Gov
eminent in the country, predicts that
the full history OF the scheme will
throw surprising light on the Govern
ments agitation against drink The
origin of the scheme. 1t says lies in
preparations. made long before the war.
for a general election. which under
III Parliament act must be held in
1915. The Radical leaders believe the
scheme will enable them TO go to the
country with the cry OF the drink ques-
ton solved
The Express editorally denounces
the plan as a wildcat scheme. II says
il is more like a teetotaller's nightmare
than p. piece of ststecraft.
