Wet Victory in Ontario
Is indicative Of Trend
Away From. Prohibition,
BY NJ. e. Tracy

After a ten-year trial, Ontario dis
cards prohibition.
The campaign preceding the cleo
ton was strenuous and the issue
clean cut. Conservatives. under the
leadership of Premier Ferguson,
pledged themselves to repeal the
present law and enact measures per-
hitting the sale of liquor under gov
eminent control. Liberals and In
dependents, with very few excep-
tons, bid for support on a promise
to stand by prohibition.
The Conservatives won a sweeping
victory. They will control the pro
vincial legislature by majority Of
two to one.
Ontario's emphatic rejection of
prohibition is in line with the gen
eral drift Of sentiment, not only in
Canada, but in this country as we'll.
The people Of North America are
not growing Incorporate, but they
are beginning to doubt. the wisdom
and effectiveness Of compulsory tenn
perance.

in trust company resources for the
year ending June so. according to
Trust Companies of the United

THE present strong position of
the trust companies, attained
through a steady, continued prog

the Trust Company field. Further

in a much wider acceptance of the
