 Create Harmful Reactions

Montreal, Aug. 12 LP>-Lord Daw-
 son of Penn. physician to King
 George of Great Britain is of the
 opinion that it is illogical to pro- hibit all use of alcoholic beverages because some persons indulge 10 excess.
 Addressing members of the Ca nadian club here on "Alcohol, Its Power 10 DO and Undo" he asked.
 Because some love well rather than wisely, are we to cease our worship of Venus? Because speech sometimes maddens us, are we to ordain silence?" Legislative restraints which eX- ceeded the sanction of public opin- ion. he said, fail and create reac- tions contrary to the public veal.
 He said England was temperate as much. if not more, from the edu- cation and enlightenment of the people as from administrative con- trol.
 He warned against excessive use
 of alcoholic beverages as a menace 10 health.
 X recent survey Of three licensed refreshmcnt houses in England, he said showed that Of 40,000 custom- CTS S2 per cent drank TO alcoholic beverage and the majority of the
 other IS per cent took either beer or wine.

 The Minister of the Interior pro- ceeded to fill the military police with men hostile to the republic. The Minister of Public Instruction proceeded to introduce into the schools religious prayers of mark edly anti Semitic tendency.
