The National Efficiency Board's proposal that compensation should be paid the Trade has puzzled quite a few folk. Here is. a report that says that prohibition is essential for "the efficiency of the State and the individual both during .the war and afterwards." Yet, it proposes to pay compensation to the Trade. Why? Those who ask this question forget that if prohibition was carried to-day, under the present statute, it cannot tako effect far four and a half years. The National Efficiency Board carefully weighed the evidence on both sides, and was so impressed with tho value of immediate National Prohibition that it reported that in tho interests cf N.Z. that it should take cffect at once. Sign the Alliance Monster Petition asking Parliament to grant a poll on this question, so that tho people may decide.—Advt.
