NO LICENCE LEAGUE
MEETING IN MASTERTON LAST NIGHT. N.Z. ALLIANCE’S ACTION SUPPORTED. A decision to hold the annual meeting on April 29 was made at a meeting of the Masterton No Licence League, held in Knox Hall last evening. The president, the Rev David McNeur, occupied the chair. It was agreed to write to the New Zealand Alliance executive and congratulate it upon its vigilance and persistence with Ministers of the Crown in demanding the enforcement of the liquor laws in hotels and in serving youths of 18 to 21 in wet canteens. It was also decided to support the executive’s request for the publication of the returns of beer exported from New Zealand in 1941, as this was the first time in fifty years that these returns had not been released, even after repeated requests for publication. Th meeting also supported the executive’s request that the amount of sugar used in the manufacture of beer and wine should be reduced before sugar was rationed to householders. It was stated that the authorities had replied on several occasions that it was not stocks of sugar that were short. The position was due, it was stated, to distribution difficulties.
