No attempt was made TO stop them,

Washington, June A. Prohibition
legislation was approved to-day by the
Senate Finance Committee as a new
feature of the war tax bill.
Prohibtive taxes upon the dstilla-
tion of whiskey and other spirits for
beverage purposes, with a ban upon
their importation, were agreed upon by
a substantial majority of the commit

they have not been finally ap-

General suspension of beverage pro-
duction by distilleries, and use of liquor
now in bonded warehouses, probably
would be the effect of the new tax
section if enacted into law.

Prohibits Importation

As supplementary legislation. the
committee further approved an amend
uent prohibiting importation into this
country. Porto Rico and the Philip
pines Of distilled spirits made from
any foodstuff except for industrial, nc
chanical or scientific purposes.
Senator Gore, Of Oklahoma. a pro
hibition advocate, was the author Of
the liquor amendments.
Belief in the committee that little
or no revenue loss will result is based
upon the fact that whiskey and other
distilled spirits already manufactured
may be withdrawn upon payment Of
1920 per gallon for general consump-
ton. Senators estimated that actual
consumption would decrease but little
from liquors now in bond, and that
about the usual revenue would be fur
nished
The prohibtive taxes, Levi Cooke,
counsel for the national distilling in
terests. said tonight, will result in
virtually complete cessation OF dis
tilation for beverage purposes.
