TORON-TO, Feb. lb-Once more the vexed liquor question has been thrown into the debates oi the On- tario Legislature. Notice was given today of a motion which, if passed, would commit the Legislature to Ithe principle .01’ the plebiscite and refer- endum and to submission of the li- quor question to a direct vote oi the people so soon as a popular demand for this step should arise-

Tlie motion comes from the Pro- gressive group, which has steadily pursued a bone-dry policy and is sponsored by the Progressive leader, Hon. H. C. Nixon, and W. G. Mcdd (Progn, Huron South.)

It is certain to be opposed by the Conservatives, but much speculation exists concerning the attitude oi the Liberals in view oi the fact that it is squarely in line with the policy on which the Liberal party contested the last provincial election. -w——————————"-*—i oo+++¢+++o<++¢+o4+w+++¢+

Commons by a vote of 137 to 1B re- jected the bill which would have] prohibited the use of alcoholic liquors I as beverages throughout the United

Kingdom. r

The bill was introduced by Edwin: Scrymgeour, doughty Scottish pro! hibitionist member of the House oi| Commons from Dundee. I

Lady Astor laid about with the

rapier of her rcpartce in the Com- mons fighting the battle of temper- ance. but she voted with the ma- rlty in defeating the measure. Sir William Wayland, moving re- jection of the bill poiiiled a gloomy picture oi‘ the United States under prohibition, dralviilg a protest from Lady Astor, when he declared that “under prohibition in the United States the people arc drinking more‘ and under worse conditions than be- fore."

Prohibition in the United States and Finland, he said, "has not only resulted in a tragic failure, but it has demoralized and lowered the moral tone of both nations."

Lady Astor, asserting that the liquor interests spend $4,000,000 a year on advertising, intimated that the money might better be spent on advertising milk. which she charac- terized as a. healthful drink.

On the whole the house took lit- tle interest in the debate and once it was noticed that only a dozen members were in their seats. The de- bate was halted while enough were brought back to make a quorum, but as the debate went on the members drifted out again.‘

In 1923 Scrymgeour sponsored a bill much like that which was dc- ieated last week and the l-lousc threw it out by a vote of 236 to l4.
