The Liquor Control Board of .Groat Britain, lias not instituted what is ca'lletf in New Zealand "State 'Control." The License 1 system still prevails, but iWoinrs of sale and output of spirits and . beer' have beein reduced to less than- lialf, and the reduction of drumkemiesß by 60 per cent is due to this. But this is not State Purchase or State Management. It is ia movement towards Prohibition. At Annan the Control Board experimented in operating - Public Houses, but enforcedSaturday night closing, in addition to the restrictions in hours of sale. An investigation revealed drunkennes to bo no less than in other parts of England where License still obtained.

A recent vote among Trades Unions in Annan resulted in ia 3 to 1 verdict in favour of Prohibition.*
