General Sir Arthur Currie, while a strong believer in the back-to-the- land poliey for returned veterans, also believes that assistance should be given to those living in cities. It certainly hardly seems right that one class should be favored and anothet loft to look after itself. The cabinet has announced that 'it is not in favor of the $2000 gra- tuity demand. Very few people be- lieved that they would act 'otherwise, but still there is much that they might do in the way of facilitating re- ~ éstablishiment of the veterans in se- curity and happiness. The retailers and dealers who be- lieved that sugar was to reach twenty Lents a pound and who bought a large quantity at a4 high figure, are ndw feeling'pretty sore.

The punishments pro- ®ided for under the act are undoubt- edly severe, but in that lies the Bi Gacy of the legislation. For the ecrease in crime alone, if for noth- ing else, the Ontario Temperance | Act deserves to he kept in farce, and {the people should make sure when the referendum is taken that there | can be no mistake about this: No one wants a return to the condition of open bars, with their attendant crowds of drunken mem which was a Teature of Ontario life in the years before the act was 'passed. The vot. Ing on this point should be undivided.
