ENGLAND IS
STILL WET
SAYS PAYNE.
Chairman of Liquor Board
Tells How Drink Was
Regulated Without Hard
ship; Succes S Due to
Handling 1t Scientifically
And as a Separate Ques-
ton.
BY Kenneth w. Payne.

LONDON. Aug 7.-One of the really
constructive lessons for America furn-
ished by Britain's wartime experience
lies in the way the liquor problem has
been handled in England.
The central control board for liquor
traffic here in England has just submit
ted a report on the extraordinary sue
cess which has followed the British
policy OF treating the liquor question as
a distinct problem in itself. and not sad
deling it onto other problems.
Drunkenness Esduced.
In 1873 L.e convict ions fer drunken
ness in the boards area in England and
Wales-which include nine-tenths Of the
population Of our country-totaled over
900. In 1916. as a result of the sys-
TEN of liquor control, the total convic-
tions were S0759.
The steady progressive effect Of liquor
control reguletions is shown by the fact
that for the period of 1917 to May 20
the weekly average had been reduced
from 1874 in 1916 10 1888.
Lord DAbernon, chairman Of the Cen
trial Control Board for Liquor Traffic,
explained today the liquor situation in
England.
Tt has been the first attempt TO deal
with the liquor problem on scientific
lines" he said. Our methods were in
many respects quite novel.
No Hsrdships Imposed.
eve have no desire to impose hard
5rps on the trade, and our restrictions
we're decided upon only after careful
consideration and consultation with the
Iocs- authorities.
The FIST restric lions vas the lin it.
ms of hours in which liquor might be
sold 10 meal times. This means three
hours in the evening, two and half at
midday and a somewhat shorter period
on Sundays.
The result has been highly beneficial
10 the health Of the consumer. 1t has
prevented men hanging around saloons
all through the day.
1t has checked habits such as early
morning drinking. and has greatly i'm
proved the conditions of labor in public
houses.
The abolition of treating has been
another novel and most successful act
This mad become an onerous social Gus
tom from which drinkers themselves
were glad 70 be freed.
Nothing sstonishes American observ-
ers more tran the way these restrictions
have been accepted by the public grad
ually bringing about conditions Of tenn
perance without hostility or friction.
"Our success is due 20 the fact that
the whole liquor question has been hand
led as the separate, distinct problem
which IL really Is.
800 liquor control board comes to
an end ono year after the war, but the
whole problem OF regulation of liquor
traffic VIII have been modified profound
~ by its action ana experience.
"It has been shown chat men can be
made sober without prohibition a nd
without fanSttca1 restriction. Things
never wal. slip back into tina old evil
condI tions,"
