THE DEADLIEST FOE
v OF GREAT BRITIANS
IN THE PRESENT WAR
England U faofto face with Ui3
great problem of deaMng with the
drink evil During the pa* weak
the whole country baa been brought
to consider the possibility of afoso
lute prohibition throughout Great
Britain until the end of the war.
On March 19th. Ckancdlor of the
Exchequer David Lloyd-Oeerge. re
ceived a deputation of the 8h?p
Building Employers' FVedcr*ti#n
which urged that there *
total prohibition of the
of the war In order that th, -
al reforms of the present titrte ?u "
be made. The deputation aafce.l
that this should apply not only to
public houses, but. also to private
clubs so {hat all classes of the c-oui^
rounlty ^jnlght oo-opreate equally I
In destroying this deadly enemy of
the nation's efflckmcy.
The statement was made that de
spite the fact that work was being
carried on seven days in the week,
the total working tim? on the avar- '
age in nearly all the shipyards wssj
actually less than before the war,
and the average productiveness of
workers had decreased. |
The Chancellor .of the Exchequer
r< plied that the reason -why Che gov
ernment had not taken more drastic
action on the liquor question was
because it needed to be assured tha*
it was backed by public sentiment,
otherwise more harm would be done
than good. The government desire*
every class in the community behind
It Wlreff^tt takes nuch action. He
declared that he believed the coun
try waa beginning to realize the
gravity of the situation, and added:
"I have a growing oonvlction. based
on accumulating evldenco that noth
ing but root and branch methods
would be of the slightest avatl In
dealing with the evil."
King George. Barl Kitchener, thei
War Secretary and all the cabinet
minister* la LoOdoft and many oth
er iHKraiiseut persons have announc
ed their intention to afcet*fn from
alcoholic liquor* for the duration of
the war. King George in a leftcr
to the Chancellor of the Excheqde'
I declares that he "feels that nothing
but the inn at vigorous measures w'.ll
eaccesrfully cope with the situation
now existing In our armament fac
tories. "We have 'before us the
statements not merely of the em
ployers, but of the Admiralty and
the War Office, which are respon
sible for munitions of war and for
the transport of troopB and their
food and ammunition. From this
evidence It is without doubt largely
due to drink that we are unable to
secure the output of war material
