British investors and brewers, teati- fying before the Senate Judiciary Sub-Committee, This course was ad- vocated as a temporary measure un- der wartime prohibition to avoid loss of capital invested in liquor manu- facture. He suggested an amendment in the wartime prohtbition enforcement measure which would prohibit any drink containing alcohol being sold and consumed on the same premises. This, he sald, would wipe out the saloon. Tests by medical experts prove 2.75 per cent. beer is not intoxicating, Mr, Untermyer declared, “Three pints is the extreme amount the human stomach can hold and the average js 21-2 pints,” he explained. “It takes one gallon of 2.75 per cent. beer a long time to have any effect whatevet Mr, Untermyer predicted the pro- posed enforcement of wartime prohi- bition would be rejected by the courts, “If you can say 1 1-2 per cent is intoxfeating you could later pass a law saying 10 per cent is not in- toxicating and nullify the constitu- tions amendment,” he said. Republican House leaders to-day stated that every effort’ would be made to pass the Prohfbition En- forcement Bill by next Wednesday. General debate on the bill was to be closed to-day and the measure taken up for amendments on Monday.

WASHINGTON, July 12.—Renewed | recommendation that manufactur- ers*"be permitted by law to ax! j@md maintain resale prices, subject | to review by a disinterested agency, was tnade by the Federal Trade Commission to-day in @ special re- { port to Congress. Existing laws which have been in- terpreted by the Supreme Court in the enses against Colgate & Co., and im other test cases to prevent fixing of resale prices should be amended, the Commission believes, with a view ' to removing the present complexity in the business world, to promoting § the efficiency of manufacturing and commercial institutions and to serv- ing the intercsts of the cgnsuming public, ‘Under the Commission's recom- ‘ mendation, first advanced in a report to Congress last December, manu- | facturers desiring to fix and main- tain resdle prices would file with an ‘ agency to be designated by Congress, | descriptions of thelr articles, con- tracts of sales and the prico sched- ules to be maintained.

' BASES OF THE COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATIONS. The Commission's recommenda-' tions were based on the following‘ conclusions: That producers of identified g00ds—identified by trade mark or trade practice—should be pro- tected in their intangible prop- erty right or good will, created through yoars of fair dealing and of sustained quality of dise. That the unlimited power both to fix and to enforce and main- tain. resale prices may not be » made-unlawful with safety; and = { ‘That unrestrained price cut- “ting is not in the public interest eventually to impair if net to destroy the production and distribution of articles desirable. to the public. “There aust be @ common ground,” ' the Commission's report said, “where. } in the rights of producer, purveyor, and consumer may each be fully se- cured and equity done to all. “It ia urged, and, the Commission * believes, with reason, that it would be unwise to vest with the manufac- ‘ turers of articles the right, without’ check or review, both to fix and com- } pel tho maintenance of resale prices. “It is similarly urged that manu-/ facturers should be protected In their’ 5000 will created by years of fair deal-* ing and of sustained quality of mer- chandise. “ie consuming public does not en-* joy benefits by unfair price cutting’ té6 compensate it for the injuries fol- lowing demoralizatioh caused by price; cutting. ‘This for the reason that, in’ the long run, unrestrained price cut- ting tends to impair, if not to destroy the production and distribution of articles desirable to the public.” i age of, the sugar crop United States this year will be 610,-- 40 ren, fhe Pepariment of Agricul- fi xt Inced to-d: This ine de-} "* SPECIAL NOTICES, HORLICK’S i THE ORIGINAL MALTED MIL , PELs: —ensine.
