llf the Provincial Government was as rnuch in earnest in its efforts to enforce the Prohibition Act as the Dominion Government was in enforcing the Drug’ and Narcotics Act, there would be m; liquor problem in Prince Edward Island. Rev. E. R. Malowilliarn. field secretary of the Maritime ‘Temperance Federation. told s special meeting of the Prince Ed- ward Island Temperance Feder- ation yesterday afternoon,

The meeting, held in the Heartz Memorial Hall, was presided ovu- bY Mr. J. H. MacFariane, Bede- que. prasident of the P. E. I. Tem- perance Federation.

Mr._ MacWllllam said if were proportionately the number of men used to enforce Prohibition in the Province ss there were officers foenforce the Drug and Narcotics Act through- out Canada, the illegal selling of intoxicating liquor in the Province would cease.

Those who say that the Prohibi- tion Act cannot be enforced. Mr. Macwliliam maintained. always forget to mention that a good Prohibition Act badly administered is nevertheless better than a. bad prohibitory law strictly admin- istered.

"I may be wrong in my interpre- tation of the so-called new Tem- perance Act," Mr. MacWiiliam said, "but it seems to imply that the doctors have not been honourable and honest in the issuing oi t-heir liquor prescriptions. I believe that. in the main. they are honourable men. I would say that at least ‘f0 per cent of the doctors are hon- ourableJn the issuing of liquor prescriptions and the implication that they have been dishonest in this respect is not correct.

New acmpersnce Act

"You are now being told that the object of the new Temperance Act is to promote temperance. You are asked to believe that, if the

Government sells the liquor. it will not make men drunken; that under a Commission. men will

change their habits and desires so that less liquor will be consumed than under a prohibltory law. But I have seen enough of liquor sell- ing under Government commis- sions that I cannot believe it."

Mr. MacWilliam said that some time ago, the Montreal civic auth- orities made a determined effort to wipe out. the red light districts of that City and that they had put a great number of women and girls in jail and had run the rest. out of Montreal. If the authorities of that City. Mr. MacWilliam said. had followed the theory advanced by the Prince Edward Island Gov- ernment. instead of putting the women in Jail they would have increased their number in the red light district and invited all the men they could contact to patron- ize the district under the theory that the more business the women did, the more moral they would become. For the Provincial Gov- ernment, Mr. MacWilliam added. is now implying that the easier liquor is to obtain in the Prov- ince, the soberer the people will, become.

"Unfortunately." ‘Mr. MsoWil- liam continued. "alcohol is still alcohol whether it be sold by s bootlegvr or a Government-ap- pointed Commission. !t is still alcohol whether a clergyman ad- vocates its sale or whether s Corn- mission does the same thing. You cannot change its composition by changing either its name or the avowed purpose for which it is sold."

Mr. MacWilllam ssid the ques- tion boiled down to this: "do you want liquor only sold as s medi- cine through a doctor's prescrip- tion. or do you want it. sold es s beverage by a Commission?"

The section of the new Tem- perance Act. which caused most concern to the temperance people of the Province was ‘ 8 which gave power to the Commis- sion to "prescribe the kinds and quantities of liquor which may be purchased under permits of any class. including the quantity which may be purchased st any one time or within any specified period of time," Mr. MacWilliam said. Such a section leaves the way open for hotol and innkeepers to petition the Government for permission to sell beer and wins by the gill.

No Progresdve Decrease

Moreover, there was nothing in the new Act to say that there would be s progressive decrease in the amount of liquor offered for sale. Jfe hoped the press would mention this statement sc that Premier Jones would have the op- portunity to tell the public whether or not his Government proposed to gradually restrict the quantity of- fered for sale in order that. fin- ally. the people of the Province would be practically a non-drink- ing people. a

Mr. MscWiiiiam “Minded W saying that the temperance people of the Province. if they wished to retain their Prohibition Law.‘ must fight for it because the liquor trade and the Government would certainly fight. Old drinkers. like any other section of society. were dying off and the liquor traffic must have new recruits in the form of young men end women. Not only must they have enough recruits to replace those who were dying. but they_ must have more than enough for those replace- ments if the liquor industry was to increase in veitane of 0a.,

In Prince ldwsrd Island. should the new ‘Ibmpersnee Act go into force, those additional niunbre

could easily be procured. Mr. Mac'-

William aid. because under see-

Rev. E. J. Barrsss. Summerslde. informed the meeting that s com- mittee comprising the Rev. E. H. Woodside. Tryon, Rcv. C. A.

Unfortunately, Mr. Barrass said, His Excellency was lust leaving for Rustico so that the committce was unable to meet him. However, they were cor- dially received by the Bishop's sec- retary, the Rev. J. W. McCai-dle. who informed them he would con- vey their request to His Excel- lencyund that they would receive s reply within s few days. ,

Rev. Mr, Woodside reported that a. speaking itinerary had been arranged for Mr. MacWillissn which would continue until June 21 and that. the Rev. Dr. it. C. Chalmers of Toronto would be in the Province for three days be- ginning June i4 and would address gatherings st the most. important centres.

Others who spoke briefly at the meeting were Rev. R. L. Wagner. Bedeque: Rev. C. A. Hicks, Tryon; Mr. W. E. Brooks, O'Leary; Rev. C. A. Britrtain; and Mrs. Alan Wyan. Cavendish.

The‘ executive meeting in the morning was taken up in great part with the forming of com- mittees of various kinds for con- ducting the temperance campaign againet any support for the new Temperance Act.

They further request that the City use its influence t0 assure that the new building is rlohof the “factory type" but of an architecture which will conform to the time-mellowed tradition of the City. .

"(bl It should not. be nece n to tear down semi-permanent buildings. nor to occupy s sito which is now, or is ,likely to be. used for commercial purposes.

"(c) The new site should dis- turb the smallest possible number of dwelling properties consistent with (b) above.

“((1) It should necessarily be ss central as possible. with due con- sideration to traffic control and parking problems involved.

"(e) The new site should permit of the erection and maintenance of s dignified and attractive build- ing that will enhance and improve the area selec‘ ’. The Board be- lieve crowding should be avoided. and the site large enough to per- mit the growing of trees and shrubbery and some lawn around the building.

"(D The purchase price of the site should not be unduly high. and should therefore not include buildings of high rental or pre- sent important cccupsnc .

"(g) The present urgent need for more commercial slits. Ind the need of developing, rather than eliminating, such areas.
