The Attorney-General of that province —who is the official administrator of the Government Liquor Control Act—said in a recent speech: “The greatest bootleggers of all are the brewers and export liquor dealers”. Dr. A. E. Cooke, of Vancouver, in The Canadian Congregationalist, asserts: “Th Government controls neither. the «manu- facture, importation, transportation, nor exportation of liquor.- The distillers and brewers control all these, and the Govern- ment simply acts as one of their sales agents, controlling about 50 per cent. of the retail end of the ‘trade. The whiskey ting and the bootleggers control the rest.” Manitoba Sick of “Control” in Less Than a Year Eleven months after Manitoba adopted its government control system, an open- minded investigator of conditions in that province, sums up the situation in these wor a | ine Manitoba impressed with the evidence that both wets and drys are dis- satisfied with the government control sys- ‘tem—the wets because there is no legal sale of beer by the glas#®and because there is some delay and trouble in getting hard stuff, and the drys BECAUSE BOOT- LEGGING AND DRUNKENNESS HAVE GREATLY INCREASED.” The same neutral authority declares: “There is no dispute in Winnipeg about bootlegging.
