no budget. The money, to be supplied
by the government, will give the COM
mission means of extending its educa-
tional campaign to the most remote
parts of the country and reach precisely
the people who owe their fondness for
alcohol to ignorance.
President Portes Gil's aim in launch
ing his anti-alcohol campaign was to
carry to the people the conviction that
the drink habit brings moral and physi-
cal unhappiness and to interest them in
uplifting forms of diversion.
