These, lie said, wene, 1, a reaiistic, factual sur,vey a! the present pasition, and 2. some limniting legislatioq wfth rigid enforcement. In Engiand there wene na "sus- pensions" for infïactions, said the speaker, referring -ta the L.C.B. O.'s practîcea! suspending licen- ses %for varying perîads o! time. ".I bave a feeling suspensions bave their place but flot ta go on inde!initeiy. I think there should be a lirnit ta suspensions." The major confessed lie was un- sure wbetber bis fact-!inding tour o! European countries, ta study their drinking habits and the im- pact o! liquor on the econorny af the nations, bad been rewarding. He pointed out that Denrnark which bad no limitations in botirs or manner o! consuçaptian, bad the best record for sobriety. "Alcobol there is an ordinary accessary ta living. The country is 'wide open' but the people are well-behaved," said Maj. Foote. He found that thc only trouble encountered through drink in Denrnark was with tourists. "They don't consider drinkingi'a sin. I'm not saying wbether I agrec," lie added. "The purpose o! legisiation is not ta increase the total amount o! alcobai but ta avoid social abuses in Dcnrnark." In England Maj. Foote found tbe ministry of food, despite food shortages, encourages "pub', keepers ta serve food with drinks. "With food there is nat the samne danger o! drunkenness," lie said. "Tbey also encourage games. The tendency of the people in England is ta go in for social entertainment and the bebaviaur is goad. "In France everything is wide open. I didn't sec drunk people there." The major felt mucli of this was duiý ta the use o! liglit table wincs.by the French. Favors Llghten Wlnes The liquor board vice-chairman suggested that liglit table wines should be papularized in Ontario in place of the strong varieiy ai present supplied. Prohibition was responsible for much o! the unsatisfactary drink- ng habits in the province, said M'aj. Foote, pointing out Que bec and the European countries wbich had not tricd "the noble experi- nent" bave fewcr liquor prob- ems. "I would nat like tô be hur- ried," lie'said. "Liquor legisiation bhould not be sprung on a people, as the governmcnt bas ta take lie responsibility in the long run. "Governments corne and go. Ve miglit not be there forever.

Even ta please certain factions, wc wouldn't burry uiýtil we knew it was the riglit thmngj Ldo," concluded the vice-chair- man o! the liquor board. Maj. Foote answered written luestions submiited by the audi- ance. Asked "Is excessive drink- îg all you are interested in?" lai. Foote replied: "No. It is the mmediate problcm thougli.
