Quostion : .1 am not quito clear on this yot. You say 19 mon can do tlio work of 20 mon? How can 19 men drivo 20 trams, or 19 men drivo 20 carts, and so on ? Answer: Oh, I don’t moan that quito. I mean 19 mon will lay as many bricks as 20, 19 mon will dig up a road as quickly as 20, that 19 mon will handle as much goods on the wharf as 20, that 19 clerks will do as much work as 20 do now, that 19 girls will run 20 sowing machines, that 19 girls in our shops will do as much as 20 do now, that 19 mon will plough as much land as 20 do now, that 19 children will milk as many cows as 20 do now—it’s splendid, and I hope soon that wo will mako 18 do what wo have now to pay 20 to do. That is what I moan by Ellicioncy. Oil! blessed word, Efficiency. Quostion: You romombor tho great hurrahing there was ovor tho Prohibition American Rivotor who put in a certain groat numbor of rivets in ono day? Answor: Yes, wasn’t it splendid. Quostion: Rut didn’t a worker in Drunken Britain do sovoral timos as woll ? Answor: Yos, but wo won’t talk about that. You soo Britain drinks Boor, so wo call lior Drunken Britain. Quostion : I don’t liko that. To me Britain provod horsolf vory Efficient in tho war. Prohibition America didn’titurn out many aeroplanes during tho Avar, in spito of all hor talk and knocking oil boor. Anyhow lot us loavo men and women for a momont, and como to shoop and cattle. They don’t mako a habit ofidrinking boor. Aro thoy going to bo more Efficient, givo more milk and grow more avool, incroaso and multiply more rapidly if Prohibition comes into olfect on July 1, 1919?

Answer: My dear follow that's only for tho prospectus. Of courso it is arrant rubbish, but it looks well. Quostion : Woll, your explanation* as to how tho £1,500,000 lost rovonuo is to bo mado up seems to mo bo utter humbug. You can’t got it from tho Customs, you can’t save it from tho cost of Government, as you’ll find that tho ponsionors won’t die to prove your caso, that 1 tho pationts won’t bo cured in the miraculous way you say, and that unfortunately your Got-Good-Quick Schomo won’t have tho effect you imagino on tho occupants of our gaols, while your “ Efficiency ” is a hollow farco. Answor: I don’t caro what you think. A lot of us aro in this gamo now, and aro going to soo it through Wo want a cut at that £3,000,000 which is spent on alcoholic liquor each yoar, and wo moan to got it if w r o can. Quostion: That’s honest, anyhow, but I don’t think much of your Sound Business Proposition. You aro asking pooplo to pay £4,500,000 at once and to tax thomsolvos a further £1,300,000 each year. I imagino that those who aro not in tho swim, and will have to pay, will do as I intend doing USE MY COMMONSENSE
