A WORD FROM OUR CANADIAN SISTERS.
Resolution Passed at Dominion W.C.T.U. Re Prohibition.
The delegates of the Canadian Women’s Christian Temperance Uunion, from the various Provinces, assembled in Convention at the city of Ottawa, June IX-22, 1918, wish to place on record their gratitude for Provincial Prohibition Laws and for enactment of Dominion Law, which makes them more operative. W’e note with much satisfaction many benefits already brought about by these measures, especially to women, children, and the home; also the decrease in arrests, the absence of intoxicated on our streets, the general peaceable atmosphere under all circumstances, the increase in saving accounts, and the betterment of the poorer classes generally. Therefore resolved, that we heartily recommend the prohibition of alcoholic liquors as a beverage, by statutory measures, and express a hope that very soon not only the British Empire, but the whole world, will be under such laws. (Sgd.) S. G. S. McKEE, Convener of Resolution Committee.
