.PUBLIC NOTICES. I . / — — N,Z # ;S FIGHTING SOLDIER SPEAKS OUT. ' j GENERAL RUSSELL ON i • PROHIBITION. MAJOR-GENERAL SIR ANDREW RUSSELL, K.C.8., K.C.M.G., G.O.C. Now Zealand Expeditionary Forces, 1915-19, writing under date November 24, 1919, Bays "I am of opinion that drink, as tho word is commonly used, is v ono of. the chief, obstacles to Reconstruction, and I Jiave come to the conclusion that National Prohibition is necessary. "I shall vote for it on two specific grounds—that Drink entails much human wastage and impaired human efficiency, and so interferes with production, the chief need of the day; and on the moral f ground that, seeing the trouble an<k often misery .caused to others as ■ tho result of Drink, tho least ono can do is, for tho sake of others, to make the personal sacrifice involved in Prohibition." r THIS IS THE OPINION OF A SOLDIER, A FIGHTER, AND A MAN. WHAT WILL YOU DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY? i MAJOR-GENERAL > SIR E. W. CHAYTOR'S VIEWS ON PROHIBITION. from Palmowton North on December 13, 1919, MAJOR-GENERAL SIR E. W. CHAYTOR, K.C.M.G., the new G.O.C. of N.Z. Defence * Forces, says:— "My opinion is that the moderate use of good ale or wine is often beneficial, but that whenever drink is available, it is practically impossible to control it, with the result that any benefit derived from its use is very small in comparison with tho crime, sickness, and suffering caused by its misuse. "For this reason, I consider that the moderate drinker should make a sacrifice for the good of the country."

Tho National Prohibition Campaign Executive charges tho Liquor ' Trade with c'iTcci misrepresentation and a gross attempt to deccivo Electors, and challenges it to disprove tho charge,- which Is officially described by tho Attorney-General as a "misleading statement." i £500~ a C^MITIO for has ' seen lodged t ' lo itor °' ■ "THE DOMINION—wiII be handed to the Returned Soldiers' ■ Association, if the Trade disproves this'chargo, on condition that if it / cannot it will pay the same amount to the Returned Soldiers' Association. R. S. GRAY, DOMINION- ORGANISER. —. , — KESULT OS BRITISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION REFERENDUM. The result of the Plebiscite taken by the British Medical Association (N.Z. Branch) on the question of Alcohol as a beverage is overwhelmingly in favour of Prohibition. The joint opinion of N.Z. doctors will undoubtedly weigh heavily with electors at the cOßfing poll.
