The “Treasury has confidence on that score | re now submitted is devoid of the es found objection- able in the bill for which the Hawley act is a substitute. The preceding measure, which was sponsored on be- half of the Treasury Department by Representative Green, chairman of the ways and means committee, created a Federal corporation to take over by purchase or condemnation the entire existing stock of medicinal spirits. The corporation thereupon was to be- | come the sole manufacturer and seller of medicinal liquors, subject to rigid | Treasury regulation i The ways and means committee shot | that project to pieces.

If enacted into law, the mes al spirits act will bring about the forma- tion of not fewer than two and not more than six 1wl corporations. These companies would concentrate into not more than six warehouses the existing stocks of bonded spirits now distributed among 37 warehouses throughout the country. The newly licensed corporation would also be au- d in the manufacture, rnment supervision, in not more than six distilleries. Plants dormant since en- actment of prohibition would be re- stored to operation for this purpose. ;The Hawkey plan carries enforcement eatures corresponding to the Vol- stead law and provides severe pen- altles for counterfeiting of labels and packages. Both drys and wets are on record in favor of the medicinal spirits leg- islation now proposed. The biil in particular disposes of the charge made by the Anti-Saloon League when the Government some time ago was considering a scheme that would have in effect put it into the liquor busi- mess. On that occasion it was mainly the allegation of Wayne B. Wheeler that “Uncle Sam will be the greatest bartender in the world” which re- sulted in withdrawal of the plan. Described as Constructive. As now formulated, the spirite bill .18 described as a constructive meas- ure, which places full responsibility upon the Treasury to as: an ade- quate supply of pure whi for legal uses and prevent its diversion and because the mea adulteration from the source to the | i consumer.

Private capital to the extent of |about $35,000.000 will be required to carry out the provisions of the Haw- ley project. Secretary Mellon is in possession of ample assurances that this feature of the plan will offer no difficulties. . About half of the 10.000.- 000 or 12,000,000 gallons of whis - der Federal control is owned by or nine groups of warehouse pro- prietors. The balance is scattered among individual holders of warehouse certificates. | Largely in Kentucky Warehouses. Some 51 per cent of all bonded | whisky is in Kentucky warehouses.
