Sweden. and Norway. Now. I submit to the judgment of this House that if you wish to encourage immigration from those northern countries and to stop the falling away you can not do anything more efficacious than to do something which will prompt every one of those immigrants. when he arrives in this country. to write home to his relatives and say. "Why. we have come to a land where we can not even get a glass of beer." This is not a question of temperance. It is not a question of a Government building being occupied for the purpose of selling liquor. excepting what I believe to be under the good condition. To take away from a German his glass of beer will do nothing in aid of the cause of temperance at all.
