IN India the question of prohibition has always occupied a prominent place in the programme of both political and social reformers. Not long ago a resolution urging prohibition moved by Mr. B.N. Sarma in the Imperial Legislative Council was rejected by that body. The numerous temperance bodies have again and again insisted on at least some control over liquor trade. The Christian missionaries have also all along protested against the more or less unrestricted sale of liquors in the country. They have now begun more actively to interest themselves in the subject. It will be remembered that the Eastern Himalayan Presbytery at its annual conference some time ago urged the Government to enact a measure totally prohibiting the sale of liquors in India.
