It is all too easy for the prohibitionist propagand- j(etioan ist to lead Alaskans, Chambers of Commerce and {principles; newspaper editors to go off “half-cocked.” The Em- pire did not take a stand on these charges one way or the other. There was always the bare possibility that shippers and liquor manufacturers and distrib- utors were at fault, that the charges were true, but it seemed at the time impossible to believe that any American business firm or representative would attempt to hinder the war effort in any way. One Seattle wholesale liquor company, Alaska Dis- tributors Co., reports that Seattle officials of the War Shipping Administration have carefully re- checked their records and have failed to find a single instance where alcoholic beverages were load- ed on a ship and food left behind.
