A Plea for restoration of the Prohibition Act as it was before the passing of the Cullen amend. moot leseuzins six-months scripts, was made to the legislature y“- teflll! W I five-min delegation from the ‘lbmpsranoe Federation hit-did by President .1. H. Mc- Forlone and the secretary. luv. o. A.~ Hioiuy a a The delegation presented e ras- olutlon from the Federation, ask- ill! that in view obthc great dis- satisfaction over the increase in driiiklfll. the Cullen~ amendment i" "Pooled; also that in the event of a Plchlscite the ballot be so Wvrdcd so to give opportunity of voting for the law as it was prior to the amendment. and that err; Act be administered by a Com. mission of three, to be‘ appointed in consultation with the Fedora. tion.

B-lleckinl on the resolution, the dolegatu maintained that since the Passing of the Cullen amena- ment the Act had become "e farce"; that drinking had‘ greatly increased and was ruining a, large number of young people: that the old Prohibition Act M! not been sufficiently enforced, and ‘that pro- fits from Government gale ware being made at enormous cost to the moral welfare of the commun- ity. .

Hon. George Barbour asked the dcicgetion whet the Federation had ever. done to assist in law en. foroement since the Mounted Pol. ice had taken over sixteen years ego. "You are telling us what you want this Government to do," he ‘said. “but I want. to know what consistent efforts you people ever made to eliminate bootleggers and blip the police to obtain convic- tions."

President Mcc-Farlane reminded Mr. Barbour that he had assisted the latter, when he was Prohibi- tion prosecutor, in obtaining a. conviction some years ago.

"That," Mr. Barbour replied. "was twenty years ago. What have you clone since?"

Mr. MacFarlane: "My business is to farm." He said the Mounted Police were in charge of enforce- ment. and only lately their num- bars hadpboen increased. Since the Cullen amendment the Act had become a farce and the Province had become the laughing-stock of the North American continent. He instonced increased facilities for purchasing vendors‘ liquor at Charlottetown and Sulnmerside, and said the number of deaths clue to liquor had increased consider- ably. ~ Mr. Geo. E. Seville, 5th King's. supported the delegation in its contention that drunkenness had greatly increased since the Cullen amendment had been passed. He stressed the need of more temper- ance instruction in the schools. The delegation retired after thanking Premier Jones and the members of the House for their. re- eeption.
