THE LICENSING BILL.
GOVERNMENT INTEND TO FIGHT
THE LIQUOR TRADE.
Received June 30, 12.42 a.m. LONDON, June 29,
Lord Carrington, addressing 50,000 teetotallers, at Manchester, said that the Hon. H. H. Asquith gave him a message bidding him aay that the Government recognised it had been challenged on the Licensing Bi'l, and intended to fight the .richest and best organised trade in the world—a trade which boasted that it had made and unmade Governments. Moreover it had vainly attempted to corrupt the great church. Lord Carrington added that he would go further and say that they would be unworthy of the name of Liberal Government unless they wire prepared to control even a beneficient trade arrogating to itself such power over the nation's welfare.
