The French Wines Commission, in their annual report, stated that they had borne a large share in the campaigns of British Columbia, Manitoba and Alberta, Mentioning the work they had per- formed, besides the furnishing of funds, and declared that they were working in Saskatchewan and Ontar- io and expecting good results. Also, he said, owing to a disagreement a- mongst the opponents of temperance in Manitoba one of their number, in 'a public meeting, declared that tete distillers furnished funds for the o- perations of the Moderation League, He said one brewer in Quebec said he was willing to spend a quarter of a million dollars to defeat the 0.T. A. It was not an accident, said Dr. Corin°, that Manitoba was the first province in which the tear 'against prohibition was brought on. It was the most vulnerable of all. In the late war the operations of the army Ontario Street Ohurch were directed from headquarters and the armies directed their forces furs„ at one point and then another and after the smaller of the forces of the enemy were subdued the full force was directed upon the stain enemy entrenchment, So, in the war a- gainst prohijrition the last battle was in Ontario, where the full force of the organized liquor interests of the world was lined up against prohibi- tion of the use of lictaor as a bever- age. It is a world fight against gan ist a common anent well y, organized, deep- ly eutrenched.aed well supplied with funds," declared the speaker. It had -,been victorious in bia:atoba, bin in that province prohibition . forces Evening: "The Law. and Love of God." ac owed carried every Anglo-S>ikon rural inunidipality. This force, however, had been victorious, in the British House of Commons, when recently Lady Astor's bill to prohibit the sell- ing of liquor to persons under ei,h- teen'years of age had been defeated. "Ontario is fighting the second bat- tle of the Marne in the cause of Pro- hibitioe," declared Dr. Count°, "You remember it the first few months of -the war when the forces of the Allied were obliged to give wan to the ltd vaneing hoards of the enemy and re- treat from point to point, until our hearts were sick and sore. Thera '°ante the second' battle of the Marne, which ;turned the tide.

The third •step is the old bar back. again. The Moderation ti on Loa ue says that the prohibitory Iaws cannotb e e ifoiced _ The ° traditional Anglo-Saxon way is to see that the law is enforced and.tu deal summarily with the outlaw, de- clared the speaker. When the agic tation began against. the Manitoba prohibitory' law, Dr. Connie said, they heard on all hands that: the "Bar must not come back." "Haveou ever heard that," he enquired uir <y q ed . 9 .But he said the law had not been defear- ed and the new law in force eleven months until the same men who had WorI{ed for its defeat were asking for a modification of the -new 'law. "You in Ontario," are worse off than wewere' ana ' Minto tai n one way for while we 'knew knew exactly what we were voting on you do not know what sort of a law will follow if the O.T. A. is defeated. But it 15 bound to c be something like the Manitoba law." He said that in Manitoba they were told that under Government Control hone -brewing and bootlegging would cease but just last week the largest still ever found in the province was taken just outside of Winnipeg, In Quebec 428 stills were taken last year and in Manitoba bootlegging is car- ried on on a scale never knoWn'before. The mayor of Winnipeg declared that there was open violation of the law, The Winnipeg Free Press, a reput- able newspapers, declared that ''The courts were clogged with liquor cas- es and when appeals were delayed the same people were frequently up again and again for the same•offence, before the appeals were heard." Dr. Cormie said that they were told as Ontario is being told today, that taxes would be reduced if. Govern- ment Control came it. Ile said the new law went into effect in Septem- ber of 1923 and this year the Govern- ment put on a new income tax and the taxes on houses in Winnipeg went id eleven per cent. "Drunkenness increases or dimin- ishes according to the facilities for obtaining drink," he declared; "If the places for obtaining drink aro in- creased there will be increased drink- ing." Ile said that the cafes . of drunkenness in Winnipeg for March last, as compared with March 1923 had increased 70 per cent. and dur- ing the whole period since the new law carie into effect, about 50 per- cent. "You cannot carry on the liquor - business without a steady stream of recruits," declared Dr, Cormie. "Ten years ago you did not need to be told that, you saw it demonstrated before ,your eyes. But you stayshave for- gotten. You cannot have •the liquor business re-established without pro- viding this steady stream of recruits. They might be your boys and girls ' or they night be your neighbors boys and girls. Canada is looking to yon in Ontario to,hold the line; you must win in Ontario." At the conclusion of the address the chairman gave an invitation to any representative of the Moderation League to speak but no one respond- ed, and the gathering was brought to a close o e b •th a singing ug of the na- tional anthem. t .
