Still tho scheme is sufficiently advanced for one to indicate generally the direction in which the Government propose to move and to specify the jyU The following are the main heads under which the Government intend to take action (1) Prohibition of the sale of immature spirits. (2) Encouragement of the brewing of lighter beers. (3) Special publichousc restrictions in munition areas.

(4) Reduced hours of sale generally. (5) Compensation for interests affected. The Cabinet have arrived at this moderate and common sense policy after examining a great variety of temperance schemes, large and small. They ruled out total prohibition at the very becinnine as impracticable and uncalled for. At different periods, however, in discussions, Ministers gave very ser sideration to two ambitious projects the pro hibition of spirits and the expropriation of the whole of the licensed houses in the Kingdom.

Both schemes had a fascination for individual Ministers. Neither was ever accepted by the Cabinet as a whole, and both have now been rejected fnr imnd. The bii? StAte nwnershm plan, in particular, could hardly have been do X) fended as a war measure. It would have been a of social reconstruction, ihvolvine the. expenditure of hundreds of millions sterling, which could never have been recalled.

For some tune after the big scheme of State ownership had been dropped a smaller scheme on the same lines to be applied to the munition areas was being seriously considered by Ministers. It may have, in the end, to be abandoned for reasons similar to those which led to the withdrawal of the national scheme, but it has some obvious advantages which have made Ministers loth to part with it.

The French Minister, in his dual capacity as doyen of the Diplomatic Corps and representative of Swedish interests, requested the Swedish gendarmerie officers to call on him, and, after laying the situation clearly before them, asked them whether they intended to continue in the service of the Persian Government, and to submit to the new Cabinet and its measures for the maintwiance of order and neutrality. The officers assured the Minister of their lovul! to the new Cabinet.
