TO THE REFERENDUM COMMITTEE The Ontario Brewers' Association can no longer disregard the attempts of the Ontario Referendum Committee to mislead the people of this Province in the forthcoming Referendum. In its campaign literature the Referendum Committee has cor- rupted the statutory ballot as set out below, and its advertising positively asserts that the light beer to be voted on is intoxicating. The Referendum Committee is either misinformed or is deliber- ately misguiding the p.ople for a p;trpose. The purpose is to male the voters bollave that they are voting for or agaiact 1...:.a;xi'c :.ting beer. Examine carefully the two ballots r.:;.roduce:l below. • • Government Stat tory REfvrenthm Committee's Ballot Paper Distortion r., Question 2.

The Government Ballot clearly shows that the public is only to vote for or against the sale of beer contain- ing not more than 2.51 per cent. alcohol by weight. BEECO 1TA1NINC 2.51 PER CENT. ALCOHOL BY WEIGHT 1S NONRINTOXICATINC To establish that the 2.51 per cent. beer to be voted on is not intoxicating, the Ontario Brewers' Association have deposited $5,000 with the Canada Permanent Trust Company, and they hereby challenge the Ontario Refer- endum Committee to deposit an equal amount with the same Trust Com- pany to prove that beer containing 2.51 per cent. alcohol by weight is intoxicating, or admit that their literature is deceiving the electorate. Upon the investigation, the losers are to forfeit their deposit to a charity or charities to be named by the Investigating Board. The investigation is to take place before a nominee of the Ontario Referendum Committee, a nominee of the Ontario Brewers' Association, and the third nominee to be. agreed on by the two persons so chosen—and if they fail to agree, to be named by the Lieutenant -Governor of Ontario.
