"ABSURD POLICY"

CONDEMNATION OF PROHIBITION

WARNING BY CHURCH TIMES.

The Church Times, describing prohibition in America as "a silly and evil law," gave a word of warn- ing to those who might desire to make Prohibition' a plank in British elections.

Such people, points out the Church Times, should study the Prohbition bill of America, which last year totalled £185,000,000.

"In addition to this gigantic sum the toll of human lives must also be considered," continues the article, "nor can America set off against this loss any great reduction in crime. Indeed, the fact remains that in spite of Prohibition the eriminal statistics of the United States remain, as their President has recently observed, exceptional- ly high."

The article states that the idea that it was possible to bring up the rising generation without know- ledge of alcohol had proved to be absurd. Yet another indictment of Phohibition was that "this ab- surd policy" might estrange rela- tions between Canada and the

States.

"That a foolish law," says the Church Times, "should threaten

the friendly relations between two great countries is deplorable. While the American people insist on keeping this perverse legislation on their Statute book, we consider that British subjects act wrongly in en- tlangering lives by helping Ameri- cans to violate it; but no less blame- worthy are the foolish people among ourselves who give any moral sup- port to a silly and evil law,"

Local Option

In a paragraph of its summary the Church Times condemns the legislative programme of the Tem- Churches. This programme em perance Council of the Christian braces Local Option, the bringing of clubs into line with public houses, and Sunday closing.

in her at that moment of revul sion than the powers of evil.

After the murder she contemptu- ously tells Macbeth: "My hands are your colour, but I shame to wear ja heart so white," and although she Į is convinced of her own indifference to the guilt of blood-stained hands, she has reckoned without the or dinary natural feelings of a woman. She has no conscious horror at that moment yet the idea of the dabbling in blood, the stain of blood is pho- her sub-conscious tographed on

mind.

"Her Sex Beirays Her" When the murder is known, and Macbeth describes how Duncan lay "laced with his golden blood," she is carried out fainting; a further proof of her over-estimation of her own capacity to face horror.

Once again her sex betrays her. and Nature triumphs.

During the progress of the play her strength is gradually undermin. ed through lack of rest, either of body or brain. The awful shadow of sleeplessness jooms forever over her husband, broken only by horri ble dreams.

Her love for Macbeth assumes a maternal aspect. It is through her femininity that she suffers in the. end, through. ber realisation of what she has brought on the man she loves. She tries to prevent the idea of mur- der from haunting his brain, but is helpless to stem the torrent which she herself has let loose

Sunday closing is condemned in the light of Welsh experience, which shows that this move has merely led to "horrible drunkenness along the border," It would be resented by young men who lives in lodginga and prejudice them against religion. The Church Times sums up its attitude as follows:

"We respect

the motives of the enthusiasts, but we feel it necessary to point out that there are two sides to the ques- tion which they are raising."
