House of Commons-Not for
Absolute Prohibition.

LONDON, Feb. 25.---ln her maiden
speech in the House OF Commons,
Lady Nancy Aston defended drink re-
form. She made it plain that she was
not trying to bring about prohibition.

Her opportunity for speaking came
during the midst of hot debate, and
followed witty and brilliant speech
by Sir John Rees, Unionist member
Tor East Nottingham, who urged that
the wartime restrictions on liquor be
removed
Lady Aston at first showed some
signs Of nervousness, but gained con-
fidence as she proceeded, while friend
ly applause throughout the house
served to spur her on. She supported
control of the liquor traffic, for which
she pleaded strongly in the interests
of the children.

supporters and accusing them OF con-
stantly Kicking" during the past
years against the drink control board.
she exclaimed amid cheers: What did
they do during the great war? Had
they not a pretty record?'
Lady Astor concluded with fer
vent appeal for reform, saying:
Drink promises everything, but gives
nothing, and | beg the house not to
look upon me as either a crank or a
lunatic, because ! am only trying to
speak for thousands of women and
children who cannot speak for them
selves"
ing her scat. the members crowding
round and cungratulating her.
The Rces motion was talked out.
In the coursc of the subsequent de-
bate Lady Astor was warmly com
plimentcd by both Sir Donald Mac
Lean and the RI. Hon. Herbert a.
Fisher, of the war ministry, for her
courageous and brilliant speech.
