British Cohmibia to take over the presidency of the newly-formed research foundat- ton. Since then he and Dr. ll. o. H-uwland. vice-president. who was secretary to the royal com- mission on coal have charted planl for extensive surveys into cvcty branch of the economic and industrial life of the province.

This announcement today was the first major step taken along these lines and it dealt with Nova Scotlab basic industry- cosl.

With the Dominion and Nova Ecctin Governments and repre- sentatives of t-he Dominion Steel and Coal Corporation and other coal firms the research foundat- ion will conduct summer projects Air-ginning th-e middle oi May- lrgln four aspects of the industry.

Strong criticism of drinking cottditiolts in the Province was tiiuclc in the Legislature yester-

tlay by Mr. George E. Sfllilllériilit! oi thc Liberal members for thc. strut District of King's and al colleague of Hon. William Hugh-l t-s. Provincial Treasurer. j

Speaking in the Draft Address debate. Mr. saville charged that thcre was prevalence of nloorli shine and illegal extracts as well its huge quantities of government liquor, uncl urgcd that a plebis- cite on thc question of returning to "straight Prohibition" be taken at the next general provincial election.

Failing that. Mr. Seville thought the Government might as well "throw the gates wide open" ra- ther than continue as ni. present.

l-le was the first speaker in the debate yesterday afternoon. being followed by Messrs. C. F. Morris- scy, 1st Prince, and Morley Bell. 5th Prince. The latter concluded shortly before 6 o'clock. when Mr. Walter G. Mackenzie moved the adjournment.

Mr. Saville said he understood from speeches in the House at the time. that when the Prctii-b- lt-lon amendment was put. through it was to bc on a trial basis. If ll didn't. work it would be re- pealed. "Those of us who voted ngalnst that. amendment think time has provcd that we wcrc right," he added. “I don't think it has lessened the sale of alco- llol in anyway."

Mr. Seville argued that wheth- er it was "whiskey. gin. rum or shoe polish" all alcoholic stuff was drunk for the alcohol. Ho had been asked by a student, "How is it that we are taught that alcohol is a bad thing. and yet the Government soils more and more of it." Ho. Mr. Savllle. confessed that he couldn't answer that. . i

Speaking on the success o! the campaign i-n the city Dr. W. J. P. MacMlllan, O.B.E.: Provincial Pru- sident of the Red Cross Society, stated that the campaign was one o! the most vital ever held. There was some doubt at the outset. as to the reaction of the public lo the peacetime program of the Red Cross, but it was evident from the results attained that the people supported the Red Cross activities ln peace as well as in \\'.'il'.

Dr. Mat-Millan saw in the pent-c- time activities of the Rod Cross far more value than \\‘.’li‘llfllC act- ivities in that the tnoncy contzi- buied would be spent on llunnm- itarlan work at home. He found it difficult to express in words his feelings on thc success of lzte drive. ' ' Congratulates Workers
