No valid or sound argument lias been .adduced as to why the electors of NewZealand should not voice their opinions on the National Efficiency Board's proposals for National Prohibition. Here is a Board set up by the Government to examine the conditions and report as to ways and means of promoting National Efficiency. Absolutely impartial, this body considered calmly the advantages or otherwise to the community of the liquor traffic. It heard evidence from all sections. "The Trade" placed its facts before the Board—so did prohibition advocates, while tho non-party members of the community farmers, business folk and workers—gave evidence. The Board reported that immediate National Prohibition was essential. Surely the electors of New Zealand should have an opportunity of recording their votes on the Board's proposal. The Alliance Monster Petition asks for a poll.—Sign it to-day. — (Advt.)
