SWEEPSTAKES ABROAD
BRITISH HOSPITALS’ PROJECT LEGAL POSITION BEING INVESTIGATED 'United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright > (Received loth January, 11.20 a.m.) LONDON, 14tli January. British hospitals have not abandoned the plan to promote sweepstakes abroad. An enquiry committee investigating the legal position firmly believes that subscriptions will at least total £2,000,000. It is pointed out that there is considerable interest in the project on the Continent, where several legations expressed a desire to discuss it. The committee believes that the British Government very soon will be faced with alternative new legislation lendering the purchase next to criminal or authorising a limited number under responsible control. “In view of the enormous interest the project might easily be a first-class election issue, swaying the votes of a multitude.”
