Mr. Lloyd George, replying to a deputation of advocates of Prohibition, against State purchase, said the, people were the only force to decide temperance reform. It would he a national disaster to reinstate the liquor trade on the old basis during demobilisation.He himself never surrendered to threats. The Government would earnestly consider control, realising , folly of any measures unless they received general assent. It would b§ madness to put forth in the middle of the war a proposal defying practicallythe whole of organised labour.—Aub> N.Z. Cable Assn.
