" Ballymoney Rectory, Ballineen, Co. Cork, January 6, 1917,
ARTHUR W. amens, Esq., K.C.
Dna SIS,—I am very much interested in a movement whose object it is to press upon the Government the urgent need which there is at the present moment for the total prohibition of the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquor during the continu- ance of the war and for six months after. That movement is known as ' The Strength of Britain Movement,' and has the support of a very great number of some of our most distinguished admirals, generals, literary men, heads of schools and colleges, scientific men, captains of industry, &c., &c. The facts and argu- ments upon which the movement is based have been made widely public, and are contained in the papers which I have the honour to enclose. As an elector of Dublin University I am anxious to know, in view of the coming election, whether if you should be returned to represent the University, you would be prepared to support by your vote and influence the demand made by The Strength of Britain Movement.' I am addressing a similar request for information to the other candidate, and I reserve the right to send the correspondence to the Press.—I am, yours
