NO-LICENSE.
The persistence with, which opponents of licensing reform point to the disaster which has befallen the "dry" areas in New Zealand is, simply astounding, pne would think that the closing of, the' :open bar were driving the country to rttin. It does not require, even ' •'»"■ ' superficial knowledge of economic ,' questions to understand that the cessation of any single business cannot' be productive of ruin in itself. But this aspect of the question seldom occurs to those who are blinded by prejudice. Whether no-license is, or is not, the success that is claimed for it, the undisputed fact remains that of all the electorates which have embraced t during the last twenty years in New Zealand, not a solitary one lias returned to the open bar.
