CANADA GOING “WET”
UNDER STATE CONTROL. United Press Association—Bv Elen*** Telegraph—Copyright). OTTAWA, Nov. 1. Nova Scotia has now joined the majority of the other Provinces in Canada, by deciding, at its referendum, to inaugurate the system of selling liquor in Government stores. Hitherto this maritime province had localised Prohibition, and had tried a variety of schemes, without satisfaction. More than nine-tenths of Canada is now served under the Government liquor control system. The Province of Quebec goes farthest by allowing beer and wine to be served in licensed restaurants. British Columbia lias Government beer parlours, and all Canada is reaping tremendous profits from its liquor sales, especially those to the American tourists, millions of whom flock over the border. To-day’s Nova Scotia referendum, and yesterday’s provincial elections in Ontario, indicate the popularity of this system.
