The Drinkers Outlook

1t is predicted by the president OF the
Wholesale Liquor Dealers Association
that the principal results of the increased
taxation of alcoholic beverages will be,
first. a sudden and marked reduction in
the amount consumed, and, second,
great decrease in the number OF retail
dealers and the virtual elimination of the
more disreputable sort of saloons. These
consequences, which can only be regarded
as beneficial, are even now in some meas
ure perceptible, and no manfestly evil
effects of high prices are as yet apparent.
Among the latter. according to the same
authority, we must expect an increase IN
bootlegging, moonshining and smuggling.
The retailers, naturally look at the fut-
ure with some apprehension, for 1t was
admitted on all hands at the annual meet
ing that many would be obliged to 90 out
Of business. On the other hand, the con-
sumer was warned that he would be
an early sufferer, for as the wholesalers
will pass the new tax on to the retailers,
so the retailers will inevitably passGt on
70 their customers. Indeed, it was freely
foretold that within the next three year,,
the price of whiskey over the bar would
run up to 80 cents glass, or maybe even
a dollar.
1t may be that in this manner, by do.
grees. men will be persuaded to temper
ance as they have not always been by cx-
periments in drastic prohibition. If tho
expectation of the wholesalers is well
founded. namely, that one of the earliest
results will be the abolition Of treating,
then it is very likely that excessive drink
ing will before long be checked to a con-
siderable degree The high cost Of in
toxicants in Great Britain has doubtless
much to do with the decline in the con-
sumption of spirits, but it is agreed by all
careful observers that nothing has con-
tributed more to temperance than the pro-
hbition of treating. At any rate, it is
certain that under the conditions prevail
ing now there has been o vast reduction In
! the gross abuse Of strong drink.
/ All efforts toward temperance must be
determined more or less by reference to
local custom. The English problem Is not
On all fours with ours, and the French
have problem Of their own, as was shown
by the steps taken in the early days Of the
war for thu. suppression Of absinthe. The
late eminent clinician Landouzy, who held
that abstenton was "a scientific, economic
and historical heresy," insisted that it was
particularly so in France, and would by
no means allow that the consumption of
pure and unadulterated French wine was
IN any way comparable to the use OF
spirits. He was largely instrumental in
establishing the regular ration of wine for
the French soldier and thought every
Frenchman was the better for reason
able allowance
Be that as it may, our problem is diff
ferent, and IL the prediction of the whole
salers is fulfilled there will be few in three
years time who can afford to drink to
excess.

sunnosed that German commander under
any circumstances would hesitate 10 take
the lives of unarmed seamen. Ruthless
ness will in future be the rule in all war
fare on commerce, whether by submarines
or other vessels.
Thar. ;s still some doubt about the force
guarding the merchant ships. The Ter

stroyed," hut, according to the BRITISH
Admiralty's comnuniq,le, this is untrue
Are we to conclude that there were other
escorting vessels or not7 BE that, now
ever, as it may, it is evident that the escort
was intended only to provide against SUD
marine attack, the assumption being that
the enemy's surface cruisers were entirely
masked. II was a reasonable assumption
based on long experience, nor Is II unlikely
that the relative success Of anti-submarine
measures impelled the Germans to at

successful, was extraordinarily dangerous
Convoy would evidently be more doubt

heated. for it is clear that unless the force
guarding the merchant ships is capable OF
defeating airy force likely to oppose 1t the
whole convoy runs the risk of destruction
while ships sailing singly can only be sunk
singly. There are further objections, such
as the necessity of reducing the speed OF
all the ships to the slowest, and the dim
Guilty that merchant seamen generally ma

is no doubt that in the early days OF the
war merchants, ship owners and under
writer's were agreed in Directing to the
system, and it is very probable that their
objections will be revived by the event OF
Wednesday, Nothing, however, could be
more mistaken than TO condemn 1t on this
score alone. for manfestly, as applied on
this occasion, the protection afforded was
only against submarines. The danger OF
meeting couple of formidable cruisers
between Norway and the Shetland Islands
was supposed to be inconsiderable.
