developed Countries Being Flooded
With the Stuff.

BOSTON, Nov. 7.--Exports statistics
indicate that liquor stocks in this coun-
try made unstable here because of
prohibition, are being sent to undevel-
oped countries, particularly China, Brit
ish West Africa, Australia, and the
Dutch possessions in Asia.
Protests have already arisen in China.
against the dumping in that country of
liquors from the United States, a con-
dition which is considered in many
quarters comparable only to the Jap
anese efforts to build up there a traffic
in morphia and opium.
Figures just made public by the
United States department of commerce
indicate that liquor is being sent out
of the country at an astounding rate,
and that now exports are 10 times as
great as imports, though in the past
exports have averaged barely one-fifth
the amount of imports. Figures given
out at Washington, District of Column
bia, show exports for the eight months
ending Aug. 81. 1919. to have been of
the value of Sa,9s9,05S. against $3.50
0f3 in 1918, and $S,417.17s in 1917 for
an eight months period Imports in
the eight months of 1919 were only
S5l6,214, or. at the rate of $774,3o4 a
year, as against $20,347 $40 in the year
1914, and $l7,679, 1872 in the year 1917.
Records for the calendar wear 1918
show that out of 1S4 900 gallons of rum
exported, $4,000 went to British West
Africa and $4,000 to Canada.
Out of $1,000 gallons of bourbon
whiskey exported. $1,000 went to Aus
tralia, and out of 10000 gallons of rye
whiskev exported, 10000 went to the
Philippines and 10000 to China. The
consignment to the Philippines, If it
has not been consumed, will probably
find its ultimate destination in China.

apply in the colonial possessions of the
United States as we'll as in the states.
Of exports of all other distilled lio-
