A DRY LAND.
PROHIBITION ON TRIAL. AMERICA’S EXPERIMENT. I “HAS COME TO STAY,’’ By Telegraph.—Press Aasn.—Copyright. Sydney, May 4. Sir John Salmond expressed the opinion that prohibition in the United States had come to stay. At any rate America would never revert to the saloon, though some light wines and beers might eventually be allowed. There was a good deal of boot-legging, but it seemed quite feasible that the younger generation might grow up without cultivating the taste for alcohol. There was liquor to be bought in America of a sort. Received May 4, 7.45 p.m. Sydney, May 4. Sir John Salmond said, speaking generally, prohibition was being enforced in America, and with generally beneficial results. Of course a great deal of illicit liquor was being imported and manufactured, but it was an expensive luxury which few could afford. A certain amount of wood alcohol was being consumed, with disastrous results to the consumers, who were mostly alcoholic addicts.—Aus.-N.Z. Gable Assn.
