been urged in a letter made public
by Aubrey Drury, executive secretary

the defect by hastily sizing metric
units for use in warfare. Then, Is

lack of world metric Standardization

Bishops attack
Defeats Dry Bill
/. In British House
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 9.-The bill in
troduced in the House Of Lords
by the Bishop of Oxford to restrict
the trade in alcoholic beverages
by what was termed popular con-
troll to be exercised by periodical
voting of the inhabitants of the
different boroughs, today was de-
feated 1865 to so, after a three-day
debate.
The government supported the
bill on the understanding that it
would be considered in detail in
committee, but it's fate was sealed
by remarkably vigorous speech
by the Bishop of Durham, who
denounced the bill because, he
SAID, 1t enshrined the principle of
prohibition, which was thoroughly
unsound and could not be limited
in applications, as America had
shown. He added that IL would
involve inequality between the
rich and poor and would breed
embitterment among the latter.
Teetotal fanatics, the Bishop of
durham concluded, constituted
the only faction which could de-
feat the victory of temperance in
england.
