HOUSE OF COMMONS
FIRST DECISIVE STEP TAKEN j
ON QUESTION OF PRO
HIBITION IN ENGLAND
MAY BE MODERATED |
Parliament -First Division
Since War Started.
-
LONDON, April 29.-A resolution
introduced by David Lloyd George,
Chancellor Exchequer, doubling the
duty on spirits, passed the house of
commons tonight by a vote of eighty
nine to five.
The minority% was composed of
O'Brlenites. It waa the first division
since the outbreak of the war.
It is generally believed that the new
laxes; aili havo to be moderated be
fore parliament will accept them.
The O'Brlenites, as a protest against
the additonal taxation on Irish whis
kies and beers caused a division by
ttotlng against tho provisional reso
lutUvis putting ute taxes Into force
immediately.
Usually these provisional resolu
tions are carried without division; for
should parliament refuse to sanction
tho taxes they are refunded to those
who may have paid. The Labor Hes
have a reply - to the chanctllora
charges that minority workmen, lur
ed away by drink, were not at putting
their beat into the work of produc
ing war materials. Tho proposed ap
pointment of a board of control and
the proposal tako over for ca'Jteen
purposes saloons In munitions of war
areas, and to compensate all inter
ests was generally approved by mem
