What is the object of Government control ? The best method of determining the merit of any system of government control of the sale of brewed malt beverages is to apply this simple test. If the system aims at coercion, at making people ’’good” against their will, it is not only undemocratic but, experience has shown, it will fail. If the system aims at education, at making it easier for people to learn self-control, it is on the right track. * Any insistence that the consump­ tion of these wholesome, mildly stim­ ulating beverages should only take place in private behind shut doors, cannot give people the opportunity to learn to use them sanely, decently, and to their own advantage. When, on the other hand, they are available in public places, under proper control of course, education begins, for then public opinion dis­ courages excess. Unfortunately it takes time to re­ pair the ravages of prohibition. A whole generation were deprived of the opportunity of learning moder­ ation. So there are still abuses, which government control corrects. A careful study convinces us that a sound public opinion is growing in favour of reasonable and tem­ perate enjoyment. The present sys­ tem in fact is proving successful. In the meanwhile prohibition ex­ tremists use the behaviour of the victims of their own legislation as an argument for repeating their fatal mistake. • This advertisement is inserted by the Brew­ ing Industry in the interest of a better public understanding of certain aspects of the problems of temperance and local option.
