Life is sustained by the threefold process of Production,, Distribution and Consumption of the necessities of our bodies. Making shoes in a factory is Production. Getting the shoes to the people is Distribution. Wearing shoso is Consumption. Profiteering, waste and exploitation of Labour arise during Production and Distribution. Public Ownership in some utilities has partially remedied these evils. But the greatest fault of the Liquor Traffic is not in Production or Distribution, but in its Consumption, It does its deadly work during Consumption. Consumption of boots add to life but consumption of Liquor detracts from life. Therefore changing the Production and Distribution of Liquor from private to public operation is no remedy for the. Liquor menace. It is the Prohibition of its Consumption that is necessary.—(Advt.)
