from arrest even in his home terri

BY PAUL R. MALLCN

WASHINGTON, April l7.-Legal-
ization of A per cent beer in On
tario has been a failure, W. F.
Raney, Toronto attorney and form
or attorney general of the Ontario
province, told the senate prohibition
committee today.
"Those who wished to drink beer
protested that there wasn't enough
k * in the light beer Raney de-
clared. 'lt also has been found
that those who took out licenses to
sell this beer were using their IL
censes rs shields to sell stronger
stuff
Ranev's evidence was adduced bv
the drys to discredit pleas of vets
that legalization of light beer would
aid enforcement.
Both Dissatisfied
Vets are dissa tisfied with the
system because it is insufficient and
drys oppose it because it is weak
ening of enforcement-so no one is
satisfied with it, Raney added.
Furthermore, the experiment of
other Canadian provinces with gov
ernment distribution of hard liquor
likewise has. fallen into disrepute,
Raney contended.
He quoted Montreal officials as
authority for a statement that 5000
professional street women infest that
city.
kaney went into detail regarding
Ontario 8 experiment with "A per
cent beer GO per cent by volume)
saying:

Hotel men spent thousands of
dollars in fitting up premises to
make them comply with the law,
and then the whole thing fell flat

THE permits were in fact useful
to the holders chiefly as disguises
for the sale of something stronger.

es are Quebec, Manitoba, Saskat

bia. These are the only systems of
government control in an English
country anywhere in the world.

they call them.
