editorial of last week to our advertisement pub lished in your issue of oct 23rd we are asking you in the interests of accuracy to permit us to correct your misquotation of oar figures we stated that the amount of money spent in canada last year for legal ly sold intoxicants was 180 million dol lars you quoted this as 108 mutton a difference of 73 mtttton too large a sum to be ignored in reply to your statement- that we are reasoning faultily when we claim that this liquor exp ls a total waste we must plead the fact that we have taken as reliable the statements of several of the most emi nent economists who have written on this subject to quote just one sir ronald wllberforce allen london eng what really interests business men is not the gross revenue but the net revenue au thinking men and women realize that the legalized uquor traffic involves definite moral and material damage to the national life this has to be repaired and the cost of this must in all fairness be writ ten off against the gross revenue when the cost of au this damage is comput ed there is certainly no net revenue from th- drink trade wc recommend to your attention mr editor viscount snowden s book let nd
