At mass meeting held in one of the
exhibition buildings az Landsdown Park
recently, nearly two thousand people
registered their protest against the TAX
ing of another. plebiscite on the Ontario
temperance act, according to an Ottawa
dispatch.
Sir George Foster, who presided at the
meeting, stated that the recent enabling
act passed by the Ontario Legislature
had merely provided the machinery for
a plebiscite and that there was still time
for the people of Ontario to indicate to
the government their wishes in the mat

Rev. Father Minnehan, one of the
speakers at the meeting, rebutted the ar
gument for personal liberty" as against
social liberty and strenuous1y combatted
the impression being circulated that the
Roman Catholic Church to which he be-
longs is supporting the liquor interests.
Mrs. John Scott, another speaker, re-
viewed the Quebec liquor act which she
said had been foisted on the people in
stead of prohibition with had been
promised on May J, 1919. When the
present act was put into force, 1,097 MT
inequalities were dry under local option
and only 90 were wet All rural Que
bee was dry and is still dry, thanks to
the rural Roman Catholic clergy, ac-
cordng to Mrs. Scott.
At the close of the meeting the out-of-
town delegates formed the nucleus of
county organizations tc be organized on
a similar basis to the Ottawa organiza-
ton. Thus it is expected that the whole
of eastern Ontario will be organized to
combat the liquor interests

Dry ORGANIZATIONS NOT
OPPOSING INVESTIGATION
lAny Honest Inquiry Into Prohibi-
ton and It's Enforcement
Will Be Welcomed.
WHEELER REPLIES TO REED
Friends of Dry Law Want to Know
Facts But Question Motives
Of Foes.

There has been considerable agitation
Or investigation by Congress of the pro-
ibition enforcement Unit. A great deal
If this agitation comes from fanatical
kets who are making ridiculous and un-
rranted charges Of graft against the
Sforcement department.. An effort is
SO being made by some of the enemies
Pf prohibition and prohibition enforce
ment to tie up an investigation of the
k2.75 per cent beer proposal with an in
|vestigation of the enforcement activities
of the government.
There no doubt have been g1aring in
stances of dereliction in the performance
prohibition enforcement officers. There
no doubt has been too much politics in
some instances in the appointment of men
Entrusted with the enforcement OF the
prohibition law, but it is unjust to bring
wholesale indictments against the whole
department because IF the shortcomings
bf few.
The charge has also been made that
yhe dry forces are opposing an investiga-
8ion by Congress of prohibition enforce
znent. This is not true. The fact is, ten
ybf the most active organizations inter
tested in enforcement of the prohibition
NV have signed a statement welcoming
thorough investigation.
In discussing the proposed investiga-
on Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel
the Anti-Sa1oon League of America,
says:
Prohibition forces are not oppos-
ing any investigation to secure facts
about prohibition enforcement or
liquor lawlessness.
Mr.. Wheeler's statement was in reply
&o the charge of Senator Reed of Mis-
ouri that the drys were attempting to
head off the investigation. Mr.. Wheeler
2urther says:
If there is any fact good or bad
about prohibition enforcement that
can not properly come before one of
several committees now investigating
it. then one of these committees
should have its jurisdiction increased
so there would be nc question about
it. The federal prohibition unit is
located in the District of Columbia
and all its activities head up here.
The House Committee has jurisdic-
ton to investigate it, but # there is
any doubt about its power to do this
it should be made clear. The relent-
less opposition to prohibition of Sen.
ators Reed and Edge indicates that
they are more interested in digging
UP evidence to discredit prohibition
