PROHIBITION IN CANADA.

The campaign for Domnion-wide prohibition in Can

called to the attention of Sir George Foster acting pre-

Canada in this country there has been within recent
years increasing dry'' sentiment The demand has
been strengthened by the exgences of war; that the

of the liquor traffic will diminish taxes increase Domn

the present 1t is this urgent military feature which
is giving the movement great prominence.
There is however, apparently conflict of forces The
Dominion alliance is in charge of the campaign It's for

cal centers TheMonrea Board of Trade has consented
to permit the distribution of the material to provincial
CARNATIONS Churches, of course aiding But diff
Guilty encountered in Toronto. Not single news
paper III Toronto gave space to the appeal The expana
ton is that the province of Ontario aborng provn-
cal prohibition, and that the committee of 100 is dsn
cned to confuse local opportunities with Dominion
wide campaign Workers for the Dominion alliance were
somewhat dismayed at this The general propaganda will
continue however
There many points of similarity between the proh-
bition in the United States and that in Canada
In this country prohibition is gaining; but it is one mat
ter for state to handle it's problem but quite an
other to impose prohibition of the general liquor traffic
The appeal is different grounds This to be the
situation in Canada. In Ottawa, asvn Washington the
government maintains judicial attitude so balanced as
to go whichever way the people DESIRE This is indi-
Gated by the acting premiers reply to the appeal Sir
George makes chief point of the but indicates that
must be made absolutely manifest that prohibition is
desired before action will be taken.
