Mr. "Pussyfoot" Johnson (of the American Anti-Saloon League, who has been conducting a temperance campaign in Great Britain), is returning to Amern ica. Interviewed by a. Daily Chronicle representative, he said he was going back to tell the soft pedal wets that there had been a big slide, in public opinion towards prohibition, "widened by the panic in liquor organisations, which were spending enormous sums of money, most of which was wasted in organised "rough house" work at prohibition meetings. It had also done liquor a lot of harm. "Among my .converts," he said, "are, English titled folk, members of th» llouse of Commons, and representatives of the biggest trade corporations, also a great and growing secret army of men and women who are moderate drinkers, but would vote prohibition if put toihe feat."— Aus.-N.Z.
