He ™ovod 1 ‘That in view of the fact that the majority of those in training camps under the proposed defence proposals will be under the age of 21 years, this Presbytery records its strong protest against any attempt to establish in such camps military canteens for the sale of intoxicating liquor. The Presbytery notes with satisfaction that a committee, of the House lias made a rbc< mmendation to strike out of the Phi the clause authorising the «stablishment of canteens, and urges Parliament to accept the committee’s recommendation.” The motion was carried without dissent.
