ICELAND PROHIBITION LAW.
THE CHANGE EXPLAINED. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, May 9. Tn connection with the recent cablegram announcing the repeal of the .prohibition law as to wines in Iceland, the New Zealand Alliance has received a cable from the International Temperance Bureau, Lausanne, dated May 8, as follows: — “Iceland has been obliged for one year to admit wines under 21 per cent, of alcohol.” . This admission of wines is stated to be in conformity with the demand made by Spain on the expiration of the treaty with Iceland, under which she took an important quantity of Iceland’s fish. Spain refused to renew the treaty unless Iceland would repeal her prohibition law and admit Spanish wines. Iceland had not previously imported wines from Spain, even before she adopted prohibition.
