THE STRENGTH OF BRITAIN MOVEMENT'S LAST WORD TO THE GOVERNMENT.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—In view of the default of the Government to .act upon the mandate from the great meeting at the Queen's 'Hall, to which you kindly gave publicity in March, I venture to call your readers' attention to the Strength of Britain Movement's "Last Word to tho Government," to be delivered at a national demon- stration against food destruction at the Albert Hall on Saturday afternoon, May 19th. Moderate prices are being charged for the tickets, which may be obtained from the Hon. Secretaries, Albert Hall Meeting, Room 28a, 15 and 10 Farringdon Street, London, E.C. 4, as follows: Boxes, to seat ten, eight, or five, at 2s. per seat; stalls, reserved and numbered, 2s. 6d.; arena, unnumbered and unreserved, ls.; gallery free. We believe many of your readers will be anxious to be present at this crowning rally of the forces for War-time Prohibition. Amongst those expected to take part are the Rt. Hon. Donald Maclean, M.P. (Chairman), the Bishop of London, Dr. Saleeby, Arthur Mee, Herbert N. Casson, Captain Owen Jones, Dr. Stuart Holden, Dr. Clifford, and Mr. Harry Lauder. In view of Mr. Lloyd George's insistence upon the supposed opposition of the Trade Unionists

to Prohibition, we expect a well-known Labour leader will deal with this particular aspect of the question.—I am, Sir, &c.,

H. STEPHENS RICHARDSON.
