LIQUOR TO FLYERS
BAN NOT FAVOURED OPINION IN ONTARIO (Reed. Nov. 30. 9 a.m.) TORONTO, Nov. 28. The Premier of Ontario, Mr. Mitchell Hepburn, replying to a request by a temperance delegation that liquors should not be available to pilots and others since Canada will be an Empire aviation centre, said that Australia and New Zealand permitted liquors to all flyers and if they were denied the beverages in Canada they “would feel they were in a strange land.” He added that the enforcement of prohibition would require an “army at the American border from where there would be a bootleg flood ”
