be
removed.
‘
These
include
those
on
race
track
betting
and
the
importation,
manu-
|
facture and inter-provincial
trade
in
al-
coholic liquors.
Abrogation of federal or-
|
der in council does not
of
course
affect
restrictions
on sale imposed by
the
vari-
ous provincial legislatures.
There is also
a federal
status,
which
prohibits
impor-
!
tation, for sale,
of liquor into
a
province
|
where
sale in such
provinces
is prohibit-
l
ed but
there
will be
apparently
no
re-
i
striction
on importations forpersonal
use.
The Act of iast session
however, provides
l
that
on
the
request
of
any
provin-
cial
legislature
the
dominion
govern-
|
ment
can
hold
a
provincial
referendum
‘
on the question wkether
or
not importa-
|
tions
are to be prohibited
so
far
as
that
l
particular province is concerned.
If the
|
referendum
goesin the affirmative the
do-
minion government
will then issue
a pro-
clamation
forbidding
importation
into
that province.
In regard
to
raee
track
betting conditions
as they exisied in 1917
are restored,
but legislation
on
the
mat-
’
ter will be submitted
at the next
session

staitled
and
shocked
the city yesterday,

who hopes
to
see
the presentrule
of coer-

cive government
in Ireland brought
to a
!
final end’”’.
