The Brewer's Statements
“Beer —— Well, What. Do You Know?” This is the title of the pamphlet issued by the Dominion Brewers Association, and widely distributed. ’
The pamphlet starts by saying that, “In the earliest civilizations ten thousand years ago, ancient pictures indicate that beer was already part of the social life of the ‘oldest civilizations.”
There is no written or pictorial record of any civilization, exist- ing at a date of ten thousand years ago. so the brewers began with a statement Wlll(‘..l1 is as n- correct as many of the claims they make for the beer.
Then they state that beer has been in use in Englandand the continent since earliest days and infer that as a reason why it should be continued.
During the centuries people have learned that many customs and habits, once of common us- age and once accepted as their way of life, were a hindrance to the public welfare, and not in the best interests of humanity, and have discarded them.
Because a custom or an evil has existed for a long time, is no rea- son that it should always exist.
Slavery existed from the earli- est records, among the empires and kingdoms of the past, and men and women were bought and sold like cattle, as gcusm. mary part of life.
When the influence of the anti- slavery societies began to work on the English mind, slavery was defended by many on the grounds that it always had existed, that slaves were recognized in Bible as well ‘as secular history, and that it was almost universal, and a necessity in some lands.
