An inventory of all stocks of whis-

warehouses and distilleries shall re-
main in effect.
Instructions have been sent to all
prohibition directors to inventory or
estimate all stocks held by dealers
with wholesale permits. This includes
wholesale whislSey dealers who have
stocks. as well as wholesale druggists
who were permitted to withdraw up 70

used up no further Withdrawals OF dis

of the Withdrawals have vanished into
the Illicit whiskey trade.
While warehouses of the country are
closed against Withdrawals. distillation
of whiskey and other spirits is going
ahead and these can be put in the ware
houses under bond.
No official statement could be OBJ

basis and with the passing OF the winter
and the coming of spring better condi-
tions will prevail. Now that the critical
stage has been passed there is a strong
spirit of confidence.
"The slowing down of industry was
inevitable. We have seen many indus

but that Is only temporary. Already tnt

spondent by a German statesman
well known for his conciliatory
attitude in international affairs.
For his part, he said, he would

"If it means occupation, let
occupation come" he continued.
"A national jolt will serve to pull

That a sensational jolt would
