Ontario Youth Urge War-Time Liquor Ban

Two hundred and fifty delegates from the Ontario Young Manhood Association (numbering 75,000) waited upon the Hon. Mr. Hearst and other members of the Canadian cabinet and asked them to “stand sponsor for a government war measure abolishing the retail sale of liquor in the province during the continuance of hostilities, in order that the $50,000,000 which it now costs us to license the useless traffic may be placed to our credit when the war’s final bill of expense is presented for payment.” How can the government officials deny the request? Then, too, this sum is worth saving in time of peace.
