DECISION IN OTHER CASES.

Justice Day in the decision in the
New Orleans and Baltimore cases said
The declared purpose OF Congress
was 10 conserve the nations man pow
or and increase efficiency in produc
ing war materials; and it according
ly undertook to prohibit the manu-
facturc OF Intoxicating liquors whose
use might interfere with the consum
NATION Of that purpose. Other provis
ions OF the act lend support to this
view. The sale and withdrawal from
bond OF distilled spirits always in
|toXicaring) were declared unlawful
after June 80, 1919-their manufact
urc had already been prohib Ted. The
sale Of beer, wine and other intoXicat
ing malt or vinous liquors was prohi
bitcd after the same date and the
importation Of all such liquors and
also of distilled liquors was made i'm
mediatcly unlawful.
"The fact that the Treasury De-
partment may have declared taxable
under many revenue acts all beer con
tanning onc-half of l per centum of
alcohol is not important. Such rul
ings did not turn upon Intoxicating
character Of the liquid, but upon
classification for taxation controlled
by other considerations. Administra-
tive rulings cannot add to the terms
Of an act OF Congress and make con
duct criminal which such laws leaves
untouched.
Furthermore we must remember in
considering an act Of Congress that
a construction which might render /
unconstitutional is to be avoided We
held in Hamilton collector VS. Ken
lucky Distillery and Warehouse Com
pany that the war power of Congress
as applied to the situation outlined
in the opinion in that case enabled
it to prohibit the sale OF Intoxicating
liquor for beverage purposes. But the
question was neither made nor decid
cd as to whether Congress could pro
hibit even in time OF war the manu-
facture and sale OF Notwithstanding
beverages.
We cannot say, as a matter of law
that beverage containing not more
thin one-half Of l per cent Of alcohol
Is Intoxicating and az neither indict
ment so charges it follows that the
courts below in each OF the cases cor
rectly construed the act Of Congress
and the judgments are affirmed"

NO BASIS FOR EQUITY CLAIM

1t is urged that the act is particu
larly oppressive in respect to the beer
on hand, because the plaintiff was en-
gagged In manufacturing and selling
Misunderstanding beverage express
ly authorized by the President in his
proclamation of December s, 1917 and
prohibited by him later only when con
aerVation OF all the food products OF
the country became necessary The
facts afford no basis upon which to
rest the claim Of an equity in the
plaintiffs favor. The specific permits
sion from the President TO manufac
ture 2.75 per cent. beer was not on
the ground that such beer was non
intoxicating nor was it q declaration
Dy him that this beer was in fact
non intoxicating. The permission ex
tended to all ale and porter which
every one knows are Intoxicating H.
quors. This permission to make 2 75
ner cent beer was withdrawn Decem
DER l: 1918 under proclamation OF Son
'ember 16, 1918; and no permission
10 manufacture specifically 2.75 per
cent Deer was ever thereafter given
ny the President. His later proclama
ton (March 4, 1919 merely limited
the prohibition Of the use of food
SUNS to use in the production of
Intoxicating liquors."
Whether 2.75 per cent beer was in
'oN1catlng was thus left by the Prcsi
dent not only without a decision but
without even an in'imation. The state
ment Of plaintiff that the 2.75 beer
on hand was manufactured under
permission Of the President is Who'll
~ unfoundcd. Tt was not until July
], 1919 when the war tine prohibi-
tion act became operative in this re
spect that there was anv prohibition
OF the sale OF any liquors. So far as
