BELGIUM
Back-Benchers Want To Liberalise. The Law
Brussels, Mar. 8. Drinking in Belgium, where a "partial prohibition" is at présent in force, will be made easter if a group of Government` back-benchers here have their way.
While the French Government is engaged in
a campaign to limit drinking, six Liberal members of the Belgian Lower House have tabled a Bill to abolish partial prohibition.

They claim that the measure, ticularly by night clubs and which forbids consumption spirits except in homes and private clubs, has become n "hypocrisy" because the law is not respected.

Although there is no question of regulating drinking hours, no advertisements for spirits would be allowed in any bars and the of the new law main articles would have to be prominently displayed in all preinises.
The Bill would also give the King
the right to stop sales of spirits for public consumption throughout the country or in
certain districts "in case of troubles, uprisings, or any other events which might threaten public order and security."
The suspension of sales would be for not moro than six months.
The Bill has divided the present Socialist-Liberal Coali- tion.
Several socialist, spokesmen have announced that they aro opposed to the Bill and will not vote it
The Liberals say that they are not attacking the wisdom of the law when it was brought in but claim that it must be adapted to the standards of today.
MORE HARM
the
They argue that decline in drunkennes in Belgium has not been AS great as in many other countries and that the existing law has done rather more barm than good in the long run.
of
The average consumption alcohol in Belgium is 20,000,000 gallons a year.
The majority of Belgians will probably be little affected by any changes in the existing drinking laws. Beer, which does not come under the partial pro- hibition, remains the country's national
drink, and Belgians claim to be the heaviest beer drinkers In the world.Chino
