DRASTIC AMENDMENT
APPROVED BY SENATE
SPIKE HAMMERED INTO PRO.
PosAL TO PLACE BAN ON
BEER AND WINE.
Importation Of Liquor During War For.
bidden-Also Withdrawal Of
Bonded Spirits.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington.-Bone-dry prohibition
failed to pass the Senate. By a vote
of 81 to "a the lawmakers refused to
include beer or wine in the class with
whisky Immediately afterward the
Senate passed a drastic amendment by
Senator Cummins, forbidding not only
the importation of whisky into the
country during the war, but also the
withdrawal of any bonded distilled
spirits for beverage purposes. This
was adopted by vote of 54 to 80, and
later by separate votes. Senator Un-
derwood then called attention to the
fact that this would cut off some $780,
100000 revenue, and would choke mil
lions of dollars involved in the whisky
business without compensation to the
manufacturers. He held this to be un-
constitutional.

she is going to control the business
with an iron hand. The embargo in
cludes every basic commodity in the
list of things that may not be exported
without the license of the Secretary
of Commerce. The President specifies
every country in the world, allied, neu-
trail and enemy, as countries to which
the embargoed commodities may not
be shipped.
But primarily the embargo was is
sued to check the export of foodstuffs
to neutrals adjacent to Germany. The
President is determined that no more
sustenance shall reach enemies
through these mediums.
The proclamation does not mean
that none of the commodities named
may be exported. They may be ex.
ported only in such quantities as:
l. To relieve the stringency and
high prices in this country.
2. To effectually prevent the neu.
trails sending any possible surplus into
Germany, and,
3. To provide, so far as possible, an
equable distribution of the fuel and
iron supply among the nations Of the
allied world.
The first effect of the proclamation
will be the immediate organization in
London of the buying council for the
allies. Once established this council
will proceed with the purchases of
wheat through one central agency and
Its allotment to all the countries of
the world outside the Central Powers.
