PROHIBITION NOT PLANNED.

British Government Expected to Re

duce Hours for Obtaining Drink.

DON DON, April 23.?That the British

government does not intend to have

I recourse to prohibition in dealing with

tiie drink question was inferred from

Premier Asquith's statement in the

house of commons last evening, when

he said that Wednesday or Thursday

next the. chancellor of the exchequer,

David Dloyd Heorge, would bring for

ward proposals for "dealing with the

limiting of facilities for drinking."

The prime minister's remark was gen

erally interpreted as meaning that the

hours during which drink would be ob

tainable in the public houses would be

considerably curtailed throughout the;

country, and not merely m the area?
