England May Take
Over Drink Trade to
Raise More Finances

London. Dec. 20. - The purchase of
the drink trade In Great Britain by the
state is believed to be Imminent, saws
the Daily Express to-day.
The matter has been closely con-
sidered by the liquor control board
during the last fortnight" continues
the newspaper. Several members of
the board have long advocated the
purchase, and the change In the gov
ernment has brought a renewal of
their arguments"
The Express quotes Sir Thomas
Whitaker. member OF Parliament, as
saying that David Lloyd George. the
prime minister, is known to favor the
step, while several of the Unionist
members are understood to agree with
him. Sir Thomas says he believes a
bill calling for the purchase would
pass the House of Commons without
difficulty.
Sir Thomas Whitaker was chair
man of the committee which advo-
Gated purchase In 1915 when the cost
OF the plan was estimated at between
250.O00,0O0 and 300,000.0O0 pounds
sterling. Since then. however the
government has interfered drasticaIly
with the production of spirits.
The Daily Express asserts that fur
ther great restrictions in the manufac-
ture and sale of alcoholics are certain
in the Immediate future whether or
not the purchase plan is put into ef-
feet.
1t is known from other sources that
the liquor question has lately become
an urgent one for the government in
consequence of the renewed com
plants of the hindrance of munition
work and other industries due to ex-
cessive drinking. also due to the fact
that much freightage and vast quan-
titles of food material are absorbed in
the liquor Industry. Memorials from
such centers as Birmingham, LIVER
pool. Manchester and Glasgow have
now reached the government warning
Of delays in munition. shipbuilding and
similar industries and urging the total
1t may he recalled that Premier
Llovd George urged the NATURALIZATION
Of the drink trade in the spring OF
1915. but failed TO achieve the success /
Of the scheme. At that time the plan /
was regarded as mpracticable, but
since then IL has been strongly advo- |
,ated, and the demand is being con-
-inued by a section of the press.
