LIQUOR QUESTION
NEW SOUTH WALES’S CANCELLED POLL By Telegraph—Press Association-Oopyright. Sydney, January 13. Commenting on the decision of the New South Wales Government not to take a referendum on the liquor question because of the large amount involved in compensation, Sir George Fuller (who was Chief Secretary in the Holman Cabinet) vigorously attacks the Storey Government. It stands, he says, os the representative of the vested interests of the liquor traffic, which, under the conditions in which it is conducted, is productive of much misery, poverty, and unhappiness, fills Vie. gaols, is responsible for terrible crimes, breaks up happy homes, and saps the manhood of the land. The Government has flouted the law. It should have repealed the Act if it had no intention of giving effect to it. The Rev. Hammond predicts a motion of censure when Parliament meets. He ridicules lack of money as an excuse, and adds. "If the soldiers who defended the country take deferred bonds, the people who injured tho country should take them.” —Press Assn.
