(Continued From First Page.) senting the “wets.” Elaborate criticisi {of the “wet” estimates were made by the bureau’s statement. The estimates which were criticised included those iby John C. Gebhart, secretary of the | Association Against the Eighteenth Amendment; Hugh C. Fox, secretary {of the United States Brewer's Associa- tion, and Robert E. Corradini, research secretary of the World League Against Alcoholism. Col. Woodcock explained that in the statement discussing the bureau's esti- mate, emphasis is laid on the words “possible production.” ¢ “It is not scientifically possible,” h: said, “to ascertain the exact amount of alcoholic beverage consumed, but a| fairly close estimate can be made of th> amount that might be produced by surveying the production of those com- modities from which liquor is made, accounting for all the legitimate uses to which these commodities are put and assuming that the balance could be converted into alcoholic b:verages.” Liquor Sources Given. Tae principal sources of illegal liquor | were given as follows. / 1 . For the making of distilled spirits: corn sugar, cane or peet sugar, corn meal or other grains, molasses For the making of wine: wine grapes, table grapes, raisins, fresh fruits and berries. For the making of home brew: hops and malt. - To these sources, he said. should be added diverted industrial alcohol, re- natured, and smuggled liquor. “Whether the total amount of possi- ble production is the same as the amount consumed, no one can tell.” said Col. Woodcock. “The figures, however, are a fair indication of con- sumption. The facts assembled are taken from reports of the Departments of Commerce, Agriculture and Census, and special surveys made by investi- gators of the Departments of Justice and the Treasury.” The Prohibition Bureau estimate of illegal liquor for the year 1930 was summarized briefily as follows: Proof Gallons. Distilled spirits from corn THE T opportunity for diversion. From this | group about 2,000,000 galions were di- | verted last year. Ethyl acetate is an- other source of diversion, about 4,000,000 gallons having been diverted last year. Perfumes and toilet waters account for about 4,000,000 gallons. Total diversion | amounts to less than 5 per cent of the | quantity of industrial aleohol producsd | in the year ending June 30, 1930. | “Production of home-made wine is| estimated from the grape production of the United States. Grapes are of three kinds: juicz or wine grapes, ‘raisin grapes and table grapes. One hundreed per cent of the wine grapes are prob- ably made into wine; 100 per cent of fresh raisin grapes are so used; 10 per | cent of table grapes probably are so used, and 10 per cent of dried raisins. | Table Grapes Too Costly. | “That table grapes are not generally | used s dus to their high cost. Wine grapes sell at about $40 a ton. Table grapes sell at about $150 per ton. ‘There were produced in the year ending June 30, 1930: | Wine grapes. 416,000 tons | Table grapes. 317,000 ton: Fresh raisin g 238,000 ton. Raisins (on grape b 780,000 tons SUNDAY Total 1,751,000 tons “Deducting table grapes consumed as food and dried raisins, there were avail- able about 800,000 tons of grapes for wine pu One ton of grapes will make about 150 gallons of wine, or a total of about 120,000,000 gallons of home-made wine could have been made from the grape crop during the year ending June 30, 1930, not accounted for in legitimate industry. | “The amount of wine made from small fruits and other sources it im- possible to trace, but is considered as negligible. “The production of hops is the best index as to the production of home brew. Ninety-eight per cent of the hop crop finds its way into the beer kettle, either in the form of hops or hopped malt_extract. “Mr. E. Clemens Horst, the largest | hop grower in the United States, states that three times as much hops are used | to make & gallon of home brew as the | brewers, with scientific and economical methods, used. Brewers used about | 3, of a pound of hops to produce 30 gallons of beer. Taking into considera- | tion more wasteful methods in nome brewing, the bureau has used as an in-* dex figure 1 pound of hops to 28 gal- | lons of beer, based on inquiries directed to home-brew makers and producers of | hopped malt. | “On this basis it would have been | possible to make 683,032,000 gallons of | beer in the year ending June 30, 1930. “The sources of smuggled liquor are quite definitely known. By treaty ar- rangement with forelgn countries, in formation is available of -clearances of ships containing liquor probably des- tined for this country.

My case was prejudged. The executive com- | mittee took out of the hands of my committee a matter that had been in- | trusted by the federation to its care. | f it were not for my good relations | with the members of the Public Utili- | ties Commission, the action of the ex- | ecutive committee would have discred- | ited me before them.

Did anybody criticize him because he did not act the part of the messenger boy and carry out his instructions to the Jetter? Mr. Clayton came armed with the | transcript of the entire record of the | hearing before the commission, and | read extracts to show that he had pre- | sented the exact resolution adopted b: the Utilities Committee two days befo ‘ the meeting of the Executive Commit- | tee, which criticized him for not hav- ing presented it. i He charged that he had no notice| whatsoever of the subject of the meet- ing until he walked into it.

Much home-made wine was pro- duced in 1914, some home-brew beer and that there was illicit distilling in that year is shown from the Internal Revenue reports of illicit stills and liquors seized. “The comparison of posible produc- tion in 1930, with tax-paid withdrawals in 1914, does not give a complete pic- ture of the amount of liquor consumed in 1914. For example, while there were only 52,418,430 gallons of wine with- an estimate of the possible production of wine in 1914, based on the grape crop of that year, shows that it was possible to have made about 140,000,000 galons | of wine in that year, and undoubte™ | the additional 88,000,000 gallons was so made into home-made wine. | Production Only 40 Per Cent. “However, leaving out of considera- | tior. the fact that more liquor was con- sumed in-1914 than the internal re enue figures indicate, the Bureau esti- mate of possible production in 1930 shows that only about 40 per cent as much liquor could have been produced in 1930 as was withdrawn, tax paid, in 1914, “Reduced to absolute alcohol content the liquors withdrawn in 1914 con- tained 166,983,681 gallons of absolute alcohol (theoretical 100 per cent al- cohol). “The possible production of beverage liquor in 1930 contained 73,836,172 gal- lons of absolute alchohol. “The figures given are considered to | be a more or less correct estimate based upon known facts that are avail- abie to any interested parties and upon and opinions of those dealing with enforcement of the law: The bureau acknowledges the weakness of such an estimate, but wishes to give the public the truth, so far as it is| possible to ascertain it. “Statements made from time to time that the consumption of alcoholic bev- erages Js as great or greater today than prior to the adoption of the eighteenth | amendment are unwarranted. “In estimating the amount of spirits that might be produced from corn , the net amount of corn iuill" The net production was 887,747,000 pounds | Corn Sugar Generally Used. “A survey of the seizures of stills | and mashes made by prohibition agents reveals that the commodity most gen- | erally used by illicit distillers is corn | suga | pirits made from cane or beet sugar are estimated from the amount of mash seized, showing these sugars as a raw | material.

It must be remembered ' her= that Congress has made it mand: tory upcn the Commissioner of Indus- trial Alcohol to ‘insure an ample sup- ply’ of industrial alcohol to promote research in the fuel, dyes and other | lawful industries; to place the non- beverage alcohol industry and other in- dustries using such alcohol as a chem! cal raw material upon the highest plane | of scientific and commercial efficiency | consistent with the interests of the Gov- ernment.” ‘No permit for industrial alconol, asked for in good faith and upon inves- tigation shown to be reasonably neces- sary, can be refused.

He thoroughly | disagreed with the tactics employed by | Mr. Clayton at the hearing, he said, | but as a matter of right the Executive | Committee could not set itself up as a court of appeal to approve or dis-| approve actions of committee chllr-l men. This was never intended when| the Executive Committee was created. Mr. Bowles rose to defend the com- | mittee by denying that there had been | any intent to discredit' or disgrace | Clayton. | “Do you think it is fair to criticize him_as severely as you did?” interrupt- ed Quinn, and there was loud applause. Clayton, said Bowles, exceeded the| scope of his authority when he made the motions. He was authorized to do one thing and did another. If the fed- eration were to countenance that, it might as well disband and discontinue. Otherwise committee chairmen could indulge every whim, and an unfortunate | situation would result. | A general debate followed. Messrs. Stengle, William G. Henderson, Harry | N. Stuil, Joseph L.
