The continual stream- of peo- _ ple seeking relief from` the operations of the O.T.A. to the Premier and the idtttorneiy General was evidence that someth ng must be done. The Premier had on different occasions put his hand in his own pocket and relieved distress duento the O.T.A. Mr. Jamie- spn had supported the 4.4 amendment and had stood by his guns against-om slaughts of criticisms. He was now as much convinced as ever that this-move ~ was justified.

The 4.4. amendments had failed to reduce the consumption of hard liquor and something further had to be done. It.would not'b`e possible to get a measure that would satisfy ev-I erybody entirely.
