"Middleton, Principal, "Facile To Ask for a Prohibitory Law" HO'PELE'SS TO OPPOSE OVER- WHELMING SE!NTII1V4ENT IN FAVOR OF LIQ•UOR CONT- ROL ACT JUST NOW —BUT TIME HAS COME FOR A 'STRFIN JIO,US CAMPAIGN OF TEMPERANCE EDUCATION. Exeter, Ontario, January 29, ,1932 Editor, "The Seaforth News" RSeafooth, Ont, 'Dear Sir,-lLasrt evening a copy of the "Seaforth News" came to me con- taining a press report of a speech I'. made at a Progressive meeting inDel- aware. It contained a number of. comments as well. 'Perhaps I ,should have amplified ' my statement regarding my attitude to - ,ward's the Ontario Temperance Act for the sake Rof some niemibers of the Press. I am quite sure the audience did not misunderstand me, nor did it infer that I had gone back an prohi- bition. Dealing with the question of (Liquor Law's it is my contention ' that the effect of the liquor Control Act and its a'd'vocates has been to increase drinking and -drunkenness. Another effect is that prohibition .sentiment has do a large measure been destroyed among young people. Since the in-' ception .of the Liquor 'Control Act the general feeling towards temperance has been that of retrogression It will take time to gain what has been lost Wet propaganda, wet sentiment and wet conditions have produced a state of affairs that in my judgment it would he futile to ask for a prohibit- ory law just now. But on the other -hand the evil results of legal and 11 - legal sales are piling up and an oppor- tune tune has come for a strenuous cannpaign-for, ,'temperance education, rfdr total abstinence and with a view to prohibitory measures, If such a campaign is carried on the time might not be long when a law similar to the ,O.T,A. could' be enacted and with bet- ter provisions be satisfactorily en- forced. .No, I have not gone back on (proh'i +bi'tion. I still believe the solultioar of the liquor probledi is by prohibitory measures. I agree .with C. A. Robeitt- son, M:L.A..North Huron, that the O.T.A. is the better law. But white we have a worse law its the ILjC:A. we should; as S stated at Delaware, limit as far as it lie's in our power the sale of strong drink. This is in ac- cord .veibh the p'etition being circulated by the Women's Christian 'Temper- ance Union for the curtailment oif the sale of alcoholic beverages in so ,far as it lies in the power of the Provincial Go'vern'ment, The stand I took at Delaware was exactly the same as I had taken in the House last session and nobody ques- tioned my attitude to prohibitionor the O.w..A. Personally, I have not abandoned pro'hii'bition, not even for the time be- ing, as stated by the London Free Press, but will continuer to work for it as I have done in the past. W. G.
