the meantime the liquor amendments
are TO be taken up by the finance COM
mittee TO make them meet requirements
of the war revenue. Senator Wads-
worth's amendment, prohibiting the use
Of any foodstuGs in distilling spirits, al
ready has been approved by the finance
committee. The amendment of Senator
Jones. of Washington, prohibiting the
use Of foodstuis in either distilled spir-
its or matted drinks, has not yet reached
the finance committee.
To put tho country upon a drastic
prohibition basis would mean cutting
off with 100000 900 from the war
revenue derived from alcoholic drinks
almost the biggest item in the entire
revenue. While this Senator confess
ed himself an ardent prohibitiOnist, he
saw the advantage TO the country in
putting it upon n modified prohibition
basis by allowing the brewing OF
beers and the output OF wine.
Would Conserve Grains
TO shut down on whisky, he said,
would deprive the government Of APP
proximately $3.50 900, 600, but the ar
gument raised was tenable in that it
is intended 10 conserve the supply of
grains. Legislation aimed at saving
the country's food supply, he said,
was entirely practicable, even though
it took away a large slice Of revenue.
But the situation on beer and other
matted drinks was different. and
there was no consideration of saving
foOdstuffs. The principal ingredient,
he pointed out, is barley and that
