A FEW PERTINENT QUESTIONS BY A U.S.A. SENATOR.
Will a sober nation not win the war more quickly than a drunken nation? When the food controller asks everyone in the country to conserve the food supply, why must the food supply going into beer be excepted ? If beer drinkers are going to rebel unless they get tlnir beer, will the temperance people rebe unless they get Prohibition? If someone were to take as much food stuff as goes into booze and dump it into the sea, what would tlu people of the nation say? Is beer more essential than bread? What kind of people are those who are not willing to give* up their liquor to help their country? Are the interests of the brew rs in this country more inq>ortant th. n the winning of the war? Are we willing to sacrifice everything except beer in the courtly to win the war? With the great demand in this country for labour, and the high wages paid, could there ever be a better time as far as the labouring men are corcerned, for the transition from ; wet to a dry country? When there is a shortage of labour in the important and necessan work of carrying on the war, whv waste labour in making booze ?
