CANADA TO

OTTAWA. March .V- With the
exception of the Province of Quebec,
prohibition is in force throughout Can
ada. And Quebec goes dry on May
Supp ementing the provincial laws are
dominion orders in council, prohibit
ing for the period of the war, and V'
months afterward, the importation in
to dr\ territory the manufacture and
the interprovinciai shipment of liquor
for drinking purpoases.
The e orders in council were adopt
ed by virtue of the War Measures Act,
pa -ed in the special session of 1914
l>ominion enactments along the lines
of the onloi in council are essential
if the provincial laws are to be effect
ive. Put the War Measurer- Act expir
es when peace is proclaimed. And ac
cording to expert legal opinion, the or
der- in council will lapse at the sam*
time, although they contain a dan o
that they shall remain in force for
twelve months after tin* war.
In view of this situation the gov
ernment will inthe coining session « *
Parliament introduce legislation to
validate tin* orders in eouneil. 1*« *

sudden’y a> the ratification by tlm
states of the l nitod States amor 1

the time being the only “wet” jvov
ince, the number of mum ipalitics 1<»
calh ilry had been gradually incrra>*
ng. la turn, the piovintvs had passed
prohibitory legislation. I hr. it was not
(till th«* present l*ni *n government
cam*"* into power at Ottawa tha* Po

A plebiscite on the question was
taken seveial years ago, and. with the

'gave a maioritv in favor of prohibi

I action in Qu< hoc. the government

came the order in council pronnili:

transportation of such liquor Into a
I part of Canada, wherein the sale

In announcing th's policy the v:
cabinet stater! that its purpose v as

The course of prohibition in t
United States will. it is expecte
largely influence the continuance
Dominion prohibition in Canada. Tt
result of any Dominion plc'oisci •
would in turn, affect the continuant :
of provincial enactments. So far :•
Ontario is concerned, for instance, .
plebiscite has been announced by t \
provincial prime minister, to* be he
when all the soldiers have returned.
