TO REGULATE
BRITISH PUBS
PROHIBITION WILL NOT COME
BUT TRADE WILL BE
LIMITED.
LONDON, April 2D.—Lloyd George,
chancellor of the exchequer, has now
formulated plans for the curtailment
of the liquor business in (Treat Brit
ain but it is apparent that total pro
hibition cannot be brought about ow
ing to the opposition of the most pow
erful interests. The little known of
the new regulations shows that the
chancellor intends to propose the
doubling of all liquor licenses held by
private people and the taking over
and regulating by the government of
the liquor traffic in the districts where
the manufacture of war materials is
being carried on. The brewery and
distillery interests are probably more
powerful in this country than in any
other. It is pointed out by some of
the strong advocates of prohibition
that what Russia could do Great
Britain ought to be able to do in this
respect but the leaders of public opin
ion answer by saying that an auto
cracy has power to regulate such mat
ters which is lacking in a popular
government.
