Prohibition as a War Measure.

Despite all the grumbling and threats Of
revolt occasoned by the recent drink regu-
lations in England, there are not few
patriots-quite apart from the regular
BODY Of teetotalers-who continue 70
clamor for further restrictions and will
hardly be satisfied with anything short of
total prohibition. 1.-The Spectator" for in
stance, which was never foe of moderate
alcoholic indulgence, has lately been advo-
eating the policy of down glasses during
the war" and has called on all loyers Of
their country who in ordinary times are
accustomed to their glass or so of wine or
beer or spirits to back il in an endeavor
10 establish this policy.
Mr.. Runciman's announcement that the
government may shortly shut out from
British ports all articles not deemed strict
necessary to the welfare of the nation
viii doubtless strengthen the determine
ion of "The Spectator" 70 carry out its
ereat plan for national economy. For the
proposal was put forward on economic as
well as hygienic grounds, the argument be-
ing that only in this way was 1t possible
20 insure reasonable economy among all
,lasses. To raise the duty on wines, as
some thoughtless persons proposed, would
nit only the well-to-do, besides injuring the
interests Of Britain's allies across the
hannel but the general abolition OF all
stimulating beverages would affect the
whole community TO an extent that may
readily be appreciated by glance at the
country's annual drink bill.
Needless to say, this project has not
been welcomed by that important part OF
the community commonly known as The
Trade. Nor is this TO be wondered at, con-
sidering no adequate provision has been
made for those concerned in the liquor
traffic. They are inclined TO look upon 1t,
as they look upon the efforts already made
to promote temperance, as a direct attack
upon their means of livelihood and find but
l.ttle comfort in the assurance that IL IS
designed only as a war measure. The
same was said of the so-called emergency
regulations relating TO the opening and
closing of taverns, yet one of the Central
Control Board in an unguarded moment
has declared that there never will be.
