the liquor for which permits were
granted. Immense quantities are also
Icing smugsled into the country. Pro-
hibition officials admit that the impor-
tation Of liquor is virtually out OF their
control, and they propose stricter laws
and rulings as means Of cutting this
source Of strong drink.
Evaders Resourceful
Secretary Mellen has prepared new
ruling prohibiting importation Of liquor
by wholesale druggists.
II this rule goes into effect permits
in the future will go only to retail
druggists, who, It Is believed, will not
have the resources or familiarity with
foreign trade to order liquor abroad
extensively. But probably this dis
ability will not be permanent. The les
son of liquor law enforcement so far
has been that way is found around
every obstacle that new rulings create.
The comparative ease with which H.
ouor is obtained in this country tends
to make sentiment in favor Of a modi
fication Of the law so as to permit the
making of light wines and beer of low
alcoholic content. And the political
need Of some way to provide revenue

DILEMMA FOR POLITICIANS
BY CLINTON W. GILBERT
)sa6 Correspondent EVENING Public Ledge

Washington. Sept. 15.-Representa
tive Brennan, Of Michigan. announces
that upon the reconvening of Congress
he will introduce q bill permitting the
manufacture and sale Of beer and light
wines containing not more than per
cent of alcohol, TO be taxed heavily.
the proceeds OF the tax TO be apphed
to the payment Of the soldiers bonus.
This idea Is in the minds Of certain
members of the Administration.
The prohibition forces in Congress
may be strong enough to prevent its
adoption before the next congressional
election, but It is likely to make prog
rses in the coming regular session.
President Harding is committed to
some degree of aid to the soldiers,
bonus. Revenues out Of which to aid
them are not in sight. The sale OF
bonds for the purpose would depress
the price of outstanding Liberty bonds.
Tempting Proposition
1t is a situation making for a search
for some new source of revenue taxing
OF which the country would not permit
- q burden. The proposal to permit
the manufacture and sale Of wine and
beer as means Of raising revenue for
the soldiers bonus would enlist many OF
the veterans of the great war behind lib
eralizing the Volstead act. The plan
is tempting. Politically 1t will require
much calculation 10 see whether the
support OF the soldiers would Offset the
loss of the extreme prohibiuonist vote.
The prohibition movement has re-
ceded This is shown by the failure
to put through Congress the radical
amendment to the Nolstead act making
Il more enforceable. And II now seems
certain that this amendment Will fail
unless the extreme search and SEIZURE
provisions are omitted.
With them left out. the enforcement
of the prohibition law will remain as
difficult as it is now. The temporary
defeat of the Nolstead amendment has
produced no effective protest. SO IT is
generally felt here that the prohibition
movement has passed its climax.
Liquor Importation Grows
An argument for the liberahzing of
the Volstead act is found in its un-
enforceability. Statistics upon the i'm
portation Of wines and liquors are in
teresting. During the first seven
months Of the year Ill .5g2 gallons of
whisky and 700 900 gallons of sacra-
mental wines in the wood and 10000
cases Of bottled wines have been legally
imported OF the III 500 gallons of
whisky. 81 400 gallons came in July
alone. A year ago only 1888 gallons
came in July. Evidently ways are
being found to get around the law for
bidding importation.
OF course these figures are by no
means complete, for they include only
