From November, 1909, to 31st. December, 1910,
while rebate was being paid to the troops, I find that beer was
sold in the canteens at a price which ensured a return sufficient
to cover cost price of beer, all working expenses, and all trans-
-port charges. The profits over and above this wax were not
sufficient to give considerable grants to extra messing or to
recreation funds. The objects of such rants, which are for the
benefit of both drinkers and teetotallers, were met by the rebate
granted to the troops. Now that the men get no rebate they must
either forego those grants or pay an enhanced price for their
liquor to provide funds for the objects covered by them. In accord-
-ance with the the practice all over the Empire, the latter
course has been adopted.

As regards paragraph 4, my information regard-
-ing Gibraltar, Malta, Bermuda, and Singapore, is based on informat
-ion received from Officers who have served there within the last
three years. I cannot speak from personal experience. As regards
the other colonies, my information is extracted from the only work
available in my office, viz.:- Part II of Local Statutes, etc., affecting Military Affairs-Britains beyond the Seas. In this work the following Ordinances dealing with the matter in hand are quoted, viz.:*
Page 712 Ceylon Ordinance 22 of 1896.
Page 809 Jamaica, Law 2 of 1895, a law to amend Law 13
of 1873. Page 837-839, Mauritius, Ordinance No. 9 of 1987.
I send herewith the book in question for Your
Excellency's information.
