P posi FOTR BRITISH BOOZE “BILL IS HIGH Year’s. , BapchdRures ‘Would Pay Half ‘of John Bull's Debt to United States BY MILTON BRONNER, London, Aug. 9.—During last year the people of the, British Isles have spent for liquor about half the sum Great Britain owes the United States. George Wilson, secretary of the United Kingdom Alliance, estimates the amount spent by the British peo- ple for drink last year at 469,713,000 pounds, or approximately two billion dollars. John Bull owes Uncle Sam $4,277 000,000 for money borrowed during the war. Not even the interest has been paid on that, to say nothing of the principal sum, Of this vast sum spent’ in drink, Wilson said he estimated 143,961,000 piits, 294,159,000 318,000 pounds foi wines and 1,275,000 pounds for other intoxicants, There were 57,948 convictions for intoxication in 1919 and 95,763 last year, of whom 15,425 were women. And British police are far more leni- ent than our police were with drunk- en people. For over a year now many of the newspapers have been agitating for longer hours of opening of the sa- loons and drink places., Under the present restrictions sa- loons may be open only eight hours a day. If yous want to quench your thirst after 8 at night, the only place you can do it is in a saloon or restaurant or hotel. You can’t buy any soft drinks elsewhere, nor ice cream soda. You can get fruit or candy. All these shops are shut by law at 8 o'clock. U.S. AID ASKED FOR SLOPE CO.
