PROHIBITION AIMS
GANDHFS PLAN FOR INDIA.
EFFECTIVE IN THREE YEARS.
BENEFIT OF THE PEASANTRY.
(United Press Association—Copyright.) (Received This Day, 12.55 p.m.) • LONDON, August 1.
The Bombay correspondent of “The Times” states that total prohibition throughout India, within three years from July 14, the date of the' establishment of the Congress Ministries, is advocated by Mahatma Gandhi in an article in his paper, “Harijan,” on the Congress tasks in the provinces. He declares that America’s failure will not prove a deterrent, as only a minority in India is addicted to drinking. Employers must be forced to provide cheap and healthy refreshment, reading and entertainment facilities. He adds that prohibition, whatever it costs, will ultimately give the peasant greater earning and spending capacity.
