EFFECT OF NO-LICENSE.
SPEECH BY HON. G. FOWLDS. Per Press Association. Wellington, May 31. Speaking to-day nt a dinner tendered by the New Zetland Abiancs to Mr Race the Canadian Exhibition Commissioner, lion. 0. Fowlds, Minister for Education, said that the testimonial recently signed by business people at Ashburton left no doubt that prohibition was a great success there. During (lie last two or three weeks he had visited Invercargill, where tint no-license system had been interfered with by the opening of beer depots on the. boundary of the district. This was never meant to be the case, and some steps would be taken to remove the affront to the people there. Notwithstanding this, there was unusual testimony that the operations of no-license were beneficial to the town. Business had improved, and even people who were opposed to nolicense admitted that Invercargill was now a much cleaner place. The general tendency of the whole colony was to go forward, not back.
