B—S8 HOLDS PROMBITON 5 “INPRACTCA” Rear Admiral Moffett Sug- gests High Liquor Tax as Substitute. Believing prohibition “impractical,” Rear Admiral Willlam A. Moffett, back from the London Naval Conference, sug- gested in a statement last night that & solution of the American liquor ques- ;,‘\on might lie in sale of highly taxed s rsonal liberty enjoyed in non- rohibition countries,” said the chief of e Navy's Bureau of Aeronautics, “and the absence of graft in connection with liquor was noticeable as compared with conditions in the United States. Prices are high—three or four times more than they were before the war. “This may be the solution of the liquor question for‘us. High internal revenue taxes on liquor—low taxes on light wines and beer—bringing in a revenue to the Government that would largely support it and greatly reduce the income and other taxes, eliminate ft, bootlegging and other evils in- erent. in impracticable prohibition.” Dealing with the results of the con- | ference, Moffett foresaw parity with Britain by 1936 and urged building of & merchant marine “inferior to none,” as an auxiliary to the armed fieet. “Each merchant ship,” he added, “can be changed into an aircraft car- rier. Thus aviation will make mer- chant ships potential men-of-war. They can carry bombing planes having & radius of 300 miles.” AVERS COMPANION FELL FROM ELEVATOR Telephone Operator Tells Probers Mrs. Werner Was Not Pushed Down Shaft. By the Associated Press.
