We also requested that the law be amended to facilitate the work of of the lnu‘ in rounding up in ccnztt-ctioit w‘th the cf ale from the vendor's in t‘ oizs‘ piticnts. Probably it. is znzumon knowledge that those re- qz-a-ts were not granted.

A few days later Germany in-

titled to postpone taking pleb- iscite indefinitely.
' At this time your committee felt that sufficient problems had arisen to wa rrrint consultation with a wid- er body. Consequently, a special general meeting oi the Federation was called for August 3i. This meeting was well attended, e- scntatives being in attendance rom the various parts of the province. \:". spent-c had arrived on the Isl- Fillil previously, and was present it the meeting.
After an interesting discussion, tt was decided that Qpencei ihould proceed at once t0 conduct | a dual campaign. While all realized | and emphasized the value of cdu- | cation. it it'd: felt. that, as a. pleb- i, lscite is probably in the offing, or- ‘ gzmlzation was at least equally ne- i

ICSSIiTY. As the campaign proceeded» meetings were held in the larger;
centres, and organizations wereg sct- up in each of the fifteen elcc- i tFfill tlistticts of the Province. Ef- ‘ forts are being made through our secretary to oo-relatc the activi- ties of the newgorganizatlons with those of the Central Continuation Committee. Resolutions were pwssezl by each of those organiza- tions risking our‘ local government for loyal support. and better en- forcement of the prohibitory law. and appealing to the federal gov- ernment to take radical steps to- wards curtailing the drink traffic in every province of the Dominion. especially as it relates to our sol-
‘ (liar: in the preseitt crisis. Copies
of those resolutions have been, or v-iii be immediately forwarded to Hts Honour. Premier Campbell and to each local member of par- ‘ifament. Those relating to feder-
M mpiters are being forwarded t0 y "FR" Right Honourable WL. Mac- i
knnzie King, Prime Minister of Canada, and to each of the feder- ol r presentativcs and senators of this province.
In the educational part of the campaign, certain facts were dem- onstrated very clearly through the ii-zr- oi charts, On those charts it W35 shown on the authority of gov- ernment statistics
(1st) That consumption of li- quor invariably increased tn pro- portion to increased facilities for sale.
12nd) That crime of all kinds corresponds to the facilities for sale, and consequent consumption of liquor in the various provinces of Canada.
(3rd) More alcohol is consumed in beer than in all other alcoholic beverages combined. In i937, in tne province of Ontario, 60-71 per cent n! all alcohol consumed was ccm- tained in beer.
Immediately following the cam- pnlgn, a conference of the 011101818 of the various district organiza- tions, and the Central Federation Commrtce, was held in Charlotte- town. This confcrcitce was well at- tended, nearly every unit being ripiwsmitcd. The first session open- ed at. i0 a. m. and the usunl routine business was disposed of .At 11 0- c‘cc'/.. on motion, the meeting ad- journed to meet at 1 30 p. m.

Reviewing the situation, we are in a position to state. on good w- thority, that there has been a very substantial decrease in the quant- ity of liquor smuggled into the pro- vnce during the past summer, We wish to express our hearty apprcci- ation of the action of the Attorney General and tne Royal Canadian Mounted Police on having so ct- fectively curtailed this illicit meth- cd of importation. On the same authority we are informed that there has been an increase in the manufacture of moonshine. which

This is in direct opposi- tion . and violation of the letter as well as of the spirit of the law. We feel that it is within the pro- vince of the Federation to enter a strong protcst against this indis- criminate wholesale sale of scripts ‘by certain members of the medical -professl0n. especially in this time of lnational crisis.

Mr. MacLeod served this or- ganization for o. number of years as president, and later as secre- tary. He was a valued and faith- ful member of the Continuation Committee. During his ministcry in the Christian Church, which extended over a period of fifty years, he was a consistent advocate of temperance. and a stalwart champion of the prohibition mov-e- inent. The influence oi’ such men as Mr. MacLeod still lives and bears fruit in the lives of those with whom he came in contactand is a standing rebuke to those who would throw in their influence with the brewers and distillers, in seek- ing to substitute for our pro- hibition law. a system which tends to increased alcoholism, and a general lowering of the standards n‘ ciizenshln in the community in which it operates.

He was eminently qualified for such service, and his response was I prompt and generous. At the time - of his death, he was president of the Maritime Laymans Association. as well as president of the Prince Edward Island Temperance Fed- eration.

In concluding this report, we wish to interjcct l. note of optim- ism. While from some angles con- ditions are far from ideal, in fact. quite disappointing, in other re- spccis we have great reasons for thankfuiness. Flor years, our great- est problems were in connection with the smuggling of liquor into the province. This provided a nev- er-failing supply for the bootlegger. It is surely gratifying to team that this supply has been practic- ally shut off. The problem of clim- lnating a few moonsh‘ stills, and curtailing the supp] of liquor through the vendor the boot- leavers, in a rohibition province. should not be operable.

The Resolutions Committee then presented the following resolution:
(1) That this Federa ion alJDrcci- ates t value of the educational campagn carried on during the past year, and the good restilts accruing therefrom and would re- commend the continuance of Tem- perance Education,
(2) Whereas we consider that the amount of liquor sold through v“ ‘tr shops is excessive, con- trary to the spirit and letter of the Prohibition Act. We would urge those in authority to curtail this excessive sale.
(3) Whereas for moral and econ- omic reasons we place on record our endorsation of the stand taken by the Canadian Temperance Fed- eration calling on all our people to join in the nation wide campaign for total abstinence for the period olf war and subsequent demobiliza-
on.
(4) ‘Phat the thanks of this Tbmrwance Federation be tend- ered the Attorney General‘: De- partment for his courteous and sympathetic consideration given Temperance delegations from time to time. i (5) That we commend the Press for the generous amount of space
given in Temperance matters
, (B) That the thrmlcs of this Fed- eration be tendered the President and other members of the Continu- ation Committee for their faithful
and efficient services during the year. Also to the Y. M. . A. for tire use of their building for this meeting.
These Resolutions were fully dis- O1 .ed by members present and were carried unanimously. Ail members present expressed their desire to do all possible to keep on the statute Books of this Pro- vince the Prohibition Act. On mo- tion the meeting adjourned.
