W i 1 l P r 0 p 0 se Amendments To Prohibition Act Enforcement Measures Discussed At Freetown Meeting Yesterday.

INCREASE IN RWY. REVENUE

Amendments to the Prohibition Act es proposed by Inspector Frlppe of the R. C. M. P. and submitted to a meeting oi the Sons oi Temper- ance at Freetown yesterday by Mr. John Simpson, oi the Prohibition Commission, were the chief topic oi discussion by s representative group of members and others interested in the better enforcement oi tbs Act.

Rev. A. P. Baker acted as chair- man. Mr. Simpson said he had been asked to represent Inspector Bripps, who had leitgfor Montreal that morning. The proposed amend- ments which will be submitted to the legislature this coming session dealt more particularly with Sec- tions 52-80-131 and 182. They were discussed at some length and later approved of by the meeting.

Another matter brought up for discussion was the punishment of oflenders against the Act. It was considered that e jail sentence was not severe enough. It was also con- sidered that young lads of l6 and l0 years. who were really the tools oi hardened bootleggers should not be -put in the common jail with habitual criminals. I

. Vthldsbes, who took part

the discuslions, suggested that a prison farm in the country where the prisoners would be made to work and support themselves would be a better method of debling with these offenders.

A resolution was passed to peti- tion the government to have more drastic penalties tor offenders against the Act with some form oi hard labor and that a prison form or institution away from the envir- onment oi the city should be estab- lished.

Another resolution was passed that the Sons oi Temperance re- quest ths President and Secretary oi the Temperance Piederstion to consult with the Prohibition Com- mission to arrange to have some sort of temperance propaganda along educational lines kept before the people.

Several speakers felt the people should be educated to temperate habits. Mr. Thane A. Campbell ex- pressed the opinion that it was dif- ficult to enforce the Act without the active support of the people and he did not think the public generally gave the authorities their moral

sidcr that it would become a. polit- ical issue again. he knew that both parties had been approached with a view to have the Act repealed. At the conclusion of the conference the Sons oi Temperancehsld their us- ual quarterly executive meeting.

A public meeting was held ii. the evening when temperance matters were again discussed. The meetings were held under the auspices of the Harmony Division operating at liheetown.

As diplomatic quarters expressed the View the Soviets note demand- ins the carrying out oi the Anglo- French accord in its entirety was an adroit move to head oi’! lop- sided concessions to Germany, it was evident again the British Gov- ernment regards the proposed Egg. ern Iocarno as more of s. conces- sion towards getting agreements in Western Europe than anything else,

my Visit Moscow

The Russian note immediately raised the pomibillty that Sir John Simon, Foreign Secretary, might go to Moscow and Warsaw as well as to Berlin, it indeed the visit to Berlin envisaged in the German note some days ago materialiaes. This will not be for some time. in any event. No British minister has visited Moscow or Warsaw since the war.

Meantime the Canadian Press learned that all the Dominion gov- ernments are being kept fully in- formed by the British Government of the progress oi events. Whether a clause enempting the Dominione, similar to that in the original Lo- camo. would be necessary in the.

wvocrisl. I-ocarno has not been considered yet, it was said.

The position of the Dominlons under the serial Loca-rno would be much the same es under the orig- inal pact. This contained a clause exempting the Dominions from any liability unless they should specifically exprem a desire to join in. But none of them adhered, and none have expressed any wish to adhere to the proposed extension.

Ever since the insurance bill was introduced, Liberals have claimed it will be a dead letter on the stat- ute books because Parliament has not the power to pass it.
