The public debt is variously estimated here by experts to be from 000,000 to $87,000,000, according to {one’s political complexion. The gov- nment statement puts it at $65,000,- 0 From the drys one would infer that the increasing public debt is due 1o the present liquor law. Representa- tives of the government, however, will }tell you that since 1913 $75,000,000 ent on good roads in the schools and agriculture ted, and that much of was borrowed from the road building by the municipalities at a low rate of interest, and the government, at the same time, borrowed it from the peo- ple. Therefore, the public dept is not considered alarming except in the eves of those who helong to a political party which does not happen to be in power at this time. U. S. Enforcement More Rigid. The drys will say that more money is being spent on liquor in this prov. ince than on education. That is pos- sibly true just as it is true that more money is spent in the United States on tobacco than is spent on education, but that fact could hardly be used to convince a man that he should stop smoking. Concerning the good roads, the drys intimate that the govern- ment is building good roads to attract the people from the United States to buy government liquor. All one has to do to start a riot, however, and a barrage of statistics on Canadian scenery, weather, fishing, hunting and historic points, is to mention this at the local tourists’ bureau. declare that statements that drinking of hard liquors is de- sing are a lot of tommyrot. They that the government has deliberately transferred drinking from saloons into the homes. The govern- ment spokesmen, however, will declare that what the government has done is to abolish the evil of public drink- ing of hard liquors and has left.it up to the individual to decide whether drinking will be carried on in the home. In yesterday’s letter mention was made of the fact that figures show a decreased consumption of spirits and an increased consumption of wines since the law went into effect. The drys take this as an argument in their behalf to show the efficacy of prohibition in the United States. The ry: that in 1923.24 there were 47,550 gallons of spirits sold in the town of Valley Field, which lies close to the American border, and that last year this amount decreased to 245 gallons. In the town of Sherbrooke, which lies 12 miles from the American bor- der, the sales of spirits decreased from 30,019 gallons to 18,9, The decrease in both cases, according to the drys, was because the American border patrol tightened up to such an extent that smuggling liquor into the United States was made more difficult. Wine Consumption Up. The drys says the French Ca- nadians are drinking whisky as freely as ever. The representatives of the government will reply to this theory (provided they do not know they are arguing the case) by stating that the decrease in consumption of, spirits is noticeable throughout the province, while a corresponding in- crease in. the consumption of wines is taking place. Last year this in- crease in the consumption of wines was very marked, and the present vear thus far indicates an increase in the consumption of wines and de- crease in sale of spirits greater than ever. While figures are not available in advance of this year’s annual re- port on the subject, the Increase in wine sales in 1926 has been such that where one bottle was sold last year, six are being sold this vear. The commission also states that it is no easier to smuggle wine across the border than it is to smuggle whisky. The drys attack at every opportu- nity the liquor advertising, which ar- pears everywhere. The drys convey the impression that the government is behind this advertising and en- courages it in order to better its sales. - money rnment for In the first place, the Quebec Liquor Commission will not be drawn into any prohibition argiment. In the second, it is simply carrying out the The photograph shows the practice now being fought by police—where motorists leave their side of the street at the stop lights and form a barrier to traffic proceeding in the other direction.

We would like to have all advertising abolished. But the drys do not cou- sider the difficulties of such a step. No government is going to lay down the edict, ‘No More Advertising,’ be- cause that government would Im- mediately hit every newspaper down nd governments do not pers. It isn't done. If the people do not want advertising, let them make their papers stop carrying it.” The government, by the way, does not advertise. The advertising is done by the brewers and distillerfes. The drys accuse the liquor com- mission—the government—of being “two-faced,” for throygh the govern ment’'s department of health pam phlets are distributed in the schools warning the children against the dan ger of alcohol and social diseases as one of the accompaniments of alcohol, while through the liquor commission the government makes this alcohol easily available. The government’s only answer is that the government is the people. If they don't want alcohol, they can cut it out. Montreal Called City of Vice. And so the argument goes, back and forth. As to Montreal itself, it is a city of more than 1,000,000 people. It is the largest in the Do- minion and the fourth or fifth largest on the American continent. It is Canada’s metropolis and a seaport 1,000 miles from the sea. Its popu- lation is about 80 per cent French. The government is French, the cus- toms are French, and the atmosphere is French. The French people have a tolerant sort of outlook on life that is not always shared by the Anglo. Saxon. To this can be attributed many of the evils of Montreal that are so frowned upon by temperance workers and reform organizations Mont has been painted as a city of vice, a hotbed of crime and a breeding place for criminals. A few months ago conditions were revealed which shocked even the city itself and which showed a rather rotten state of affairs in the municipal government. Following the report, some changes were wrought which have heen of questionable benefit, but the police organization has not suc ceeded in altogether removing the stain_placed upon it. And vet, from outward appearances, wet Montreal has little about it to distinguish it from any other of the busy cities which have attained thé paper reputation of being dry. One sees few drunks on the stre A drunken man on the street in Mon treal is a rarity rather than a common sight, according to what I am told and from what 1 could see myself. One finds men in the beer taverns who are water logged from too much beer and ale! but they are a small minority. A stranger passing through the streets of Montreal in the daytime or at night would certalnly never carry away the impression of a city of drunken men. He might see none, and he might see 10 in a city of a million. Hospital Record Unchanged. T spent more than an hour with the acting superintendent of the Montreal General Hospital. I d him for figures on alcoholic ca: prove something one way or the other. He was unable to furnish them. But he told me that as far as the hospital work is concerned, there has been little change either way since the new law came into effect. There has been no decrease or in- crease in alcohollsm since the prohi- bition law was discarded. There are the usual cases of men with badly cracked craniums (the ex- planation of the policeman being that the man fell down and cut himself on the pavement, or else fell against his night-stiek accidentally); the cases now and then of acute alcoholism; and the plain drunks who think they are dy- ing, but nothing unusual. The dope cases have shown a sharp decrease, but this is attributed to more rigid laws and enforcement, and not to the liquor question. I was told by one ardent dry that Americans were constantly being taken to the hospital suffering from delirium tremens because they drank too much of Montreal's freely obtained liquor. The doctor laughed this off. Delirlum tremens is enjoyed only by those who have worked up to it carefully and painstakingly over a long period of years, and few Ameri. cans visiting Montreal could attain the d!!lincllnn distinction of being a D.

That the police here do not regard arunkenness on the sfreet as a crime worth bothering about, unless the drunkard makes himself objectionab is certaln. The police say so them selves, and their figures on arrests for intoxication are not to be taken as any indication on the real amount of drunkenness.. As I.tried to make plain before, however, while one can al- ways go out and hunt for a drunken man and find him, drunkenness i not noticeable. I was advised by one of the drys to £0 and interview some of the women who had the misfortune of supporting a drunkard, whose decline was attrib. utable to the present law. He could give me no addresses, however, and the information could only be ob- talned by going from house to house and inquiring. “Madame, has your home been ruined by a drunken hus band?" the search was not under taken.
