(London Free. Pres)
Despite all, the publicity given the
prohibition .referendum there is still
much confusion n the public mind as
to the vote, judging by the way In-
quiries which are received by the Free
Press, The ballot itself might have
been simpler in wording, but is at least
far lessconfusing than the lust refer-
endum on the subject,
'Pilose who desire a continuation df
the importation of liquor into Ontario,
as. at present, will put a cross opposite
the word NO and those who want im-
portation forbidden will mark their
ballot Opposite YES.
The question is frequently asked
what Will happen if the referendum
passes, If the referendum is carried,
the Dominion Government will issue a
3'
pr'ocbtntatiott setting a date atter which
the importation of alcoholic beverages
will be' forbidden, 'file few will stili
provide for tee Importation into tate
Province of liquor 'for medicinal, sacra-
mental, scientific and manufacturing
purposes. Presumably for sale for
these purposes the.preseni dispensaries
will be retained.
There are ntaey who imagine that
the ballot providEs for a vote on Gov-
ernment control of the liquor traffic,
This Is. not being balloted upon. 1f
bonedry is defeated it might, of course,
be possible for the Governieeent to en-
ect such legislation later, although in
the lust referendum in 1919 the Prov-
ince voted by a majority of nearly
250,000 against Government control.
The following is the ballot
:—
Shall the i i-nportatian end the
bringing of first iadcasting
• liquors into fila Pro ,rine. .
be forbidden ?
n•
:shall the importation and the
bringing of intoxieating
--liquors into the Province
be forbiddesl ? •
