The attendance was very small. _ After routine businscs a wel- come was extended to Dr. l-i. R. Grant, secretory of the SOCJII Service Council of Nova Scotia, and Hon. Thane A.

President Brown extended thanks to the Premier on behalf of the Federation Rev. Mr. Webster said it was necessary for the Premier to at- tend oiher. meetings, and suggcst- ed if’ there were questions to be asked him they could be ut now. One gentleman asked i it was not possible to clarify the defin-, ition of intoxicated driving. He wondered if the law could not be amended to make cancellation of licenses more effective, Premier Campbell said convict- ion in these cases was entirely within the jurisdiction of tlieDo- minicn Government.

There is a great deal of dissatisfaction. I understand that it has cost the Government a great deal of mon- ey. It seems he said under oath that they paid him $3.600 and his expenses. I have not heard much regarding it in the City, but through the country they felt that it was a mistake to get a man of that type. whose character has been called in question.

That is quite possible, and I believe that that is the fact. I told Inspector Pripps that he was in perhaps s better position to know than anyone else. I really think this man has done a great deal of work, and there is a great deal of difficulty in getting the cases through the Courts. There seems. be un- necessary delay, I don't think we can expect to get men that are just 100 per cent up in our ideals to take up this work, but I do think that there has been a de- ter.” Rev.

Mr_ Stavert: "From the Prem- ier's address werwould judge that he is in earnest." Rev. Mr. Webster believed the Government had acted in accord with the Federation's request. The special inves igatorn had done good work. The first two men ob- tained sixty convictions, the next group perhaps not quite so many, but still "a good many." The man in question has a number of cases before the courts at. the present time in nearly all the courts out- side the city convictions have been obtained almost 100 per cent. President Brown: “And somein the city under the prohibition magistrate." "Not a Cheap Men" Mr. Webster said it should be realized that "the forces of Satan were against these men, snd were going to bring all the pressure they could to defame their char- actors.

MacLeod: "lit is in the Act Vet said the Mr. Jchn Anderson Act presumed that this could be settled by regulation. He recalled that years ago the tcmipe uric: or- ganlntion had asked the Medical Society to set a limit and they had paid no attention to the applica- tion. The Medical Society he said was s privileged body in this coun- try: they had an Act which made it impossible for any man who did not ccmc under the provisions to collect fees as a doctor. The com- munity also hnd rights however. and they had the right to insist on limitation cf scripLs. The pres- ent system was demoralizing the medical profession; each medical man should be obliged to make application fcr the number of scripts he required, then o list. should be published cf the num- ber issued. Rev. Mr. MacLeod said that while there was no specified num- ix-r mentioned in the Act. the Co sion was empowered under the Act to set a iLi.it, and the Attorney General‘ should have the same power. Mr. Anderson: "But when a medical doctor says“I have the right to issue a script’ to a man. can he be refused?" Rev. Mr. Macbeod: "The Com- mission all along limited certain doctors to a specified number." Voice: “Did many die?" Mr. MacLeod: "No. there wen no fatalities." Rev. Mr. Stsvert: “We hsd doc-. tors on the black-list." Mr. MaoLeod: "Of course; doc- tors whom we cut off altogether." The quwtion was raised as t0 issuing scripts to dentists.

MacQuarrie, Summerside. frequently with the Attorney Gen- eral regarding the enforcement of the Prohibition Act. We must say that we have always been very cordially received, and have evid- ence that very considerable effort is being made by his department to bring violators of the justice. We commend the action of the Courts, in ordering that the doors of certain bootlegging joints be padlocked, and we understand that other cases are pending. During the year, special deflec- tives have been employed by the department; and through their activities a. goodly number of cori- vlctions have been secured. and others are still before the Courts. In this connection. we may state that considerable criticism has come to hand in regard to delay in some Court's, in the prosecution of certain cases. It; is evident that ll- quors, especially cartons of nle, are being conveyed from the vendors’ shops to the consumer. in consider- able quantities. by transportation agents. We suggest that this meet- ing should discuss the situation. During the year the Continuation Committee purchased and dis- tributed to the Sunday Schools in the Province two hundred posters dealing with the evils of intoxica- tion for their educational effect on the chidlren in the schools, In line with a resolution passed st our last annual meeting. ap- proach was made to the Minister of Agriculture in regard to the re- moval of the Dawes Stallion from e rice. We are glad to re- port that during the year action was token in this matter. It is regrettable to learn that there has been an increase in the number of scripts issued by the medical profession during the past two and a half years. The reason, we are told. is due to the fact that there has been less illicit li- quor bmught into the country by the rum runners. We are inclined to believe that there has been a decline from this source, but that is no reason why there shoudl be an increase of sales from the ven- dors’ stores. If there were no in- creases in sales of vendors’ then we would sav that progress was being mode. We would like to point out that the‘ large iiuznbcr of the medical profession are quite in sympathy with the prohibit/cry law. and are by no means abusing their right to issue prescriptions. The increase of scripts issued is largely confined to a small minor- ity; for example. we discover that, in the records oi one month of re- cent date, the said minority issued s majority of the scripts used within the month. We would therefore urge the Government. to consider the ad- visability of placing n limit on the number of scripts to be issued by a doctor each month. Such was the custom in the Province for many years. and it worked out well. Your committee are of the opin- ion thst we represent the senti- ments of a great majority of our best citizens in reaffirming our al- legiance to our prohibitory law. Other Provinces in the Domin- ion are disgusted with conditions under existing liquor laws and are oo rig our Province to hold the fort for prohibition. In soliciting your continued co- operation and support in our ef- forts toward more effective law enforcement and temperance edu- cation, we wish to make n. specific appeal to the leaders of all branch- es of the Christian Church, the Provincial Government. the Press. our Lew Courts. City Council boards. Police Officers. the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. We con- sider thls appeal to be reasonable. inasmuch es compliance to this de- mand does not exceed the require- ment of s reasonable standard of liquor.
