For some time now, the sale of intoxicating drink has been entirely prohibited in all markets directly under the control of the Native Government. Under the Brussels Act, any trader found guilty of selling spirit or intoxicating drink to a native is liable to a heavy fine. It would not be at all a bad thing if the same rule were enforced with regard to Europeans and Indians. The Baganda have realised what an evil strong drink is to the country, and have tried to curtail the sale, though they cannot hope to stop its use.
