GUSSOW, Dominion Botsnlst, Ottawa, has forwarded to the Bmatary or the Prince Edward island Potato Growers‘ Association a copy of a letter which he recent- ly received from a potato grows;- in Georgia, U.8.A.

1 A question has been raisfld in re- ‘gard to "home brew," that is, ill- itoxlcatiug (lrink brewed by a house- ,ll0l(1i2l' fur honlc consumption. The ‘fqucstion is raised by lion. Mr. Gor- Idon, u. lawyer of Pctcrbnl-ough, Oul. flrlis contention is that the federal iautllorily has exclusive jurisdiction |over the nlnllufacture of liquor and has prescribed tho (renditions ull- ller which citizens can make tilcir own supply of intoxicating llecr. That being so, Mr. (iordon sell-l forth that no provincial legislature has power to forbid the manufac- iurc of home brclv, or its storage in the household, but that tho pro- vincial legislature hull the power in forbid the sale of llonle brew null to provide and enforce penalties for such sales. m?!

i This interpretation of the law, if found to be valid, would derive coll- siderable importance from the incl. that it would apply to all the Dl'0~ vinces, whether under prohibition or government control and would place the home-brewer under the protection of the federal authority so far as the production, storage and use of ills home-made beverage, which, of course, he must not sell.

Apart from this, prohibition was doomed to failure from the begin- ning. With only the provincial gov- erllments to operate prollihitory laws, while the higher govel-nnlout at Ottawa licenses brewers and distillers and encourages the im- portation of intoxicants and reaps a vnst excise and customs revenue from the liquors brewed, distilled and imported, what hope was there that prohibition could succeed? Under such divided authority fail- ure was inevitable. And again, no law could succeed which had so large a body of the people opposed to it as was tile case with prohibi- tion. Laws against theft, robbery -nnd such crimes have always had the support of ninety-five people out of a hundred. Those laws were believed to be reasonable and just. Not halt’ the people in Canada to- day believe prohibition to be either just or reasonable.

The advocacy of prohibition In this province is now plainly politi- ‘cal. Some effort is of course made to defend it on alleged moral grounds, but in Liberal sections the main effort is party-political, con- ducted as a "still hunt." There it is whispered “Put us ill power and we will give you what you want," Mr. Saunders’ platform lo quoted ill support of this.

The illogical nature of prohibition is to be seen in the persistence with which its advocates call it "lfllllilerance." In its functioning here and elsewhere it has proved

itself the very opposite of lfimylqr.‘
