EXHIBITION NOT TO BE "DRY” Bill To Permit Sale Of Drinks In Glasgow
DISTRICT TO BE TEETOTAL AGAIN AFTERWARDS
London, To-day.
THE House of Commons yesterday debated a bill to permit sale of alcoholic drinks at the Empire Exhibition at Glasgow next year.
The question arises owing to the Exhibition being held in a district where liquor could only be sold at meal times.
Mr. T. Johnston (Labour mem- ber for West Stirling), opposing the bill, declared that many Exhibitions had been a financial success with- out having public houses and bars.
Sir Archibald Sinclair, leader cf that the Liberal opposition, said Scottish electors should not be de- prived of their rights to keep to old laws.

INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS
Col. Sir John Gilmour, Conserva- tive member for the Pollok division of Glasgow, where the Exhibition is to be held, said he believed that no real rights of the individual were being infringed.
