MEOBA TEMPERANCE ACT DEFEATED BY A SWEEPING MAMRITY Winnipeg, June 22,â€"Manitoba has ‘gone “wet” by a sweeping majority which Went beyond 30,000 in Winni- peg City, and which was going up slowly as the country was heard from. The bill of the Moderation League was endorsed and the policy of prohi- bition represented by the Manitoba Temperance Act, the law of the prov-i ince for seven years, was overturned. The weather also was wet, and a violent electrical rain storm which swept the city at ten o’clock drove the bulletin crowds to cover, darkened newspaper offices and hampered serifl ously the collection and compilation of returns. It had been shown, however, that the country had reversed its tra- ditional policy of “dryness” and ap- peared to be voting fairly evenly, while the city, which voted wet in the importation referendum of 1920 by about 7,000, rolled up tremendous ma- jorities in almost every poll and more than tripled that figure.

They were surprised and disappointed at the showing from the rural polls and the smaller towns, and at the size of the majority in Win- nipeg. Moderation League workers expressed gratification, and pointed out that they had claimed a change in sentiment throughout the province. Under the bill of the Moderation League, which Manitoba has to-day adopted, the Government will appoint a commission of three members to ad- minister the sale of liquor for com sumption as a beverage in the per- manent or temporary residences of permit-holders, who may be residents of the province or guests.

Point Warning Finger to Canada. BY v ROBSON BLACK. Wl‘ .n such nations as Greece, Spain, Pales ine, Syria, China and others, enjoyed the position in the afiairs of the world as Britain, France and the United States occupy to-day, it was when those countries had broad areas 8f forest wealth. It seems that al- most simultaneous with the depletion unuov ~u.....-â€" . V of the forests was the decline of the power and prosperity of these naâ€" tions. Scientists and historians agree that the explanation is not far to seek. Agriculture, the dominant industry in those old countries, as it is in Canada, thrives best in a land across which there are Wide stretches of trees. Jr The advantage to the farmer 1n‘ working in fairly close proximity to forest or wooded lands means that a cheap and easily accessible supply of essential construction materials for a house or barn, fence posts and for a variety of needs is at hand. Moreover, he knows the important service the forest renders in guarding the streams against recurrent torrent and the part they play in preventing drought, for where there are many trees there the rainfall is usually ade~ quate to meet the needs of growing crops. 1 1 . .‘ ,_L .. yr-v Canada is to-day one of the most fertile countries in the world largely because of the forest resources.
