It is necessary to nail several rumours which the supporters of the Liquor Trade's counter Petition have assiduously circulated of late. The New Zealand Alliance Petition has not. been withdrawn: —it is gaining thousands of supporters! /eyery day although it still needs yours if you have not already signed it. The Liquor Trade's Petition is not a Government Petition. It is a Trade Petition pure and simple—whereas the Alliance Petition asks for a poll on the recommendations of an absolutely impartial body, set up by the Government itself to investigate and report on measures necessary to secure Increased National Efficiency. The Trade's Petition is neither ‘ ‘ fair,' ’ "just" nor "reasonable" It gives the Liquor Trade a three-to-one chance of winning. It would secure Continuance even if out of 500,000 voters 250,000 were in favour of National Prohibition and 150,000 in favour of National Ownership. If the votes were thus east the 100.000 would, win although 400,000 wore against Continuance. Sign the Now Zealand Alliance Petition and refuse to sign that on behalf of Liquor. If you have signed the latter under a misapprehension ask your M.P., to have your name removed or sent word to the New Zealand Alliance representative at once.— ( Advt.
