After a short debate this was adopted
by a vote of 1872 to ia.
The amendment was very sweep
ing and its effect will be to prohibit
the use OF any form OF foodstuffs for
the manufacture OF alcoholic liquors
for beverage purposes. Immediately
AFTER the adoption OF the Barkley
amendment Mr. Lenroot, Of Wiscon-
sin, proposed an amendment restrict
ing the application OF the Barkiey
amendment to such materials as
would be used in distillation.
Mr.. Lenroot declared he favored ma
ton. wide prohibition. but that he was
unwilling to prohibit the manufacture
OF malt liquors and wines in view or
the fact that there were $50 gallons
az distilled liquors In bond which would
be sold by the distiller at exorbttant
prices. and which would put the coun-
try on a whiskey basis,
II was pointed out. however that
Mr.. webb had given notice that he
would present an amendment author
izing the president TO requiStion all
such liquors for the purposes Of re-
distillation to be used in the manufac-
ture OF munitions or other needed gov
