Great Britain can help to wipe

out the horror of war by an in- dividual renounciing of rations, but it could go further. For the period of the starvation in Eur- ope it could hold up grain sup- plies to breweries and distilleries, in the interest of suffering human- ity. It is Humanity that is of in- terest; to see it uplifted and_ un- fettered is the God-given privilege of all who care.

Who will heed tho cry from the who, having heard, will stretch starving millions in Europe. forth their handl to hel u and save? Said J. Russell Lowel. Once to eyery man and nation comes the moment to decide. Hand the choice goes by for ever twixt the darkness and that light.

Some Hindrances T0 '11!!! C!!!" of Temperance

Like most good causes, the tem- perance question is too often "wounded in the house of its friends", or of those who should be its friends. .

The cause of temperance has, of course, to contend with the open and avowed enmity of the liquor interests. One expects that. Some- times, however, wet propaganda takes a very subtle form, and we find it in the following instances:

and magazines drinking is brought in so frequently and mentioned so casually that one would almost think it a harmless and natural procedure ,i.nstead of a dangerous and often a disgusting one. In

These thrillers give an untrue picture of the effect of

One o the greatest hindrances to the cause of temperance, course, is the ordinate desire of the Government for “easy money", together with an indifference as to the means employed in getting

Another hindrance is the atti- tude of the “up and ins" who ap- parently would willingly barter their birthright for a mess of pot- tage where alcohol is concerned, and do not seem to care what harm they receive from drinking. so long as "certain people" are doing it.

’I'lie cause of temperance, how- ever, receives its most grievous wounds from two causes:

(ll The false loyalties of some of its supporters, really good peo- ple who cannot get politics out of their heads, and in this vital and burning question put party before principle, and

Less Sugar For Brewers

On August 22nd, i945, Sir Ben Smith, the Food Minister, an- nounced in the British House Commons, that the present allo- cation of sugar for brewing would be reduced from Sept. 1st. In re- ply to Mr. J. Hudson ($00.) who had pointed out that while sugar for the brewers was to be reduced by 3 per cent, the reduction to ice cream makers and other similar manufacturers was to be 20 ‘per cent. Sir Ben Smith said: ‘I do not propose io be involved in the mer- its of ‘to drink or not to drink

tons to the brewers. I have hzid to take these steps with regard to the various industries to ensure that the 1-2 lb. ration still ccn- tinues to the people."

Earlier in the War, when sugar supplies were cut down, their place was taken by the allowance of more grain for hreiving. and it has yet to hi- seen whether the new Food Minister will follow the example of Lord Woolton in mali- lni: such a concession. The termin- ation bv America of the I-encl- Lease Agreements was to be ex- pected at the close of the War, and. as Sir Ernest Bonn has pointed out, "a section of American opin- ion has continuallv represented Britain as a sort of war uroflteer in this matter." In 1941, Mr. Ern- est Gordon, a well-known American writer, in a letter to The Christian Century, sairlt‘ “If Americans are going into War partnership with Great Britain, they should de- mand that this suicidal dissipation of British national resources cease. Are we Amerlcans_to build ships. load them with grain. protect them by Naval Convoy, only to see the grain we pay for pass down the hopper of British Breweries?"
