would permit Importation of wines

prohibition officers should determine

wines was insufficient to meet home
demands.
Another would bar the prohibition

cohol unless it should be determined
that such manufactures were being
used as intoxicating beverages in in
creased volume in communities.

SEEKS INVESTIGATION.
Senator Smith of South Carolina
Wants Tobacco Inquiry.

Complete investigation of the tobac-
CO situation by the Federal Trade
Commission, both as to domestic and
foreign trade, was proposed in a
resolution introduced today by Sena-
tor Smith, democrat. South Carolina.

cultural committee. The inquiry. Sena-

of the tobacco market situation.
Buyers are refusing to take por-
tions of the new crop, he said, al
though manufactured tobacco in some
instances is at its high mark in
prices The investigation would deal
both with the growing. marketing
and manufacturing conditions.
