CAN'T SUPPLY
DEMAND FOR
j. s. LIQUOR
British DistiIIerS AStonished
at American Thirst for
Scotch Whiskey
BY F. A. wRAY.

IsrAFF CORRESPONDENT i N. sERvicEl
LONDON, June 10-British dis
til.ers cannot supply the demand FOR
liquors which has arisen in the
United States since the prohibition
laws became effective, it was re-
veaied today by Lord Dewar. one OF
the leading distillers OF Scotch
whiskey in Great Britain
The liquor manufacturing inter
ests of Great Britain would well
come a campaign on this side OF
the Atlantic by American prohibi-
tionists, Lord Dewar added. He
said tkst prohibition in America
had aroused such a thirst that the
wthLskey industry in Great Britain
is more prosperous than ever be-
fore.
The British cannot supply one
fifth of the American demand for
whiskky under prohibition" con-
tinued Lord Dewar IF prohibition
did this to the United States think
OF the rush of bushes. we would do
with American prohibitionists at
work in Europe"
LORD DeVar dropped the SUBJECT
without revealing how the liquor
is sent into the United States, 1t is
safe to state. however. that the
West Indies route from the British
distiller to the American consumer
is the most favored one. However.
it Is possible to send whiskey into
the United States by way of Canada,
just as easily as via the West In
dies.
Investigation has shown that tho
reputable distillers OF Great Britain,
OF whom Lord Dewar Is one. have
refused overtures made to them TO
undertake shipment OF liquors di-
rect to the United States in defiance
OF the prohibition laws.
One prominent British distiller.
who was approached with regard to
supplying a fioet with whiskey TO
run the prohibition blockade"
angrily rejected the offer.
The smuggling is up 10 the per-
sons who purchase the whiskey in
Canada or the West Indies. Rum
runners are employing methods
that would astounu smuggler
of olden days. Beautiful young
women are some times employed as
agents TO throw the prohibition Of
hcers off the track and the airplane
is being utilized.

new FORD
REPORT IS
CIRCULATED
Realtors Curiosity Is Whet-
ted By Persistence Of
Ford Site Stories.

Again the attention of real estate
circles is whetted by the report that
Henry Ford has practically closed
the deal for the purchase of a plant
site in the Calumet region.
But the realtors know little
about it. Some have 1T that Ford
has already made the purchase and
that the details will become public
soon. Others say that the manu-
facturer has several sites under con
sideration, but has not decided upon
any of them.
There is no way of confirming or
disproving any of these reports
until Mr.. Ford or his agents and
brokers see fit to say something.
C. A Westberg. of the East Chi
ca go Company. who would probably
know as much as anybody in the
Calumet region about such a tran
saction if it had been completed,
denied such knowledge this morn
ing.
since il first became known that
Mr.. Ford desired to purchase in this
region" he said His brokers
have spent considerable time in this
vicinity and in the South Chicago
district looking over available
property. but l have not heard of
any deal being closed. You can de-
pend upon it that they are NOT go
ing to show their hand until they
are ready. do not even know
how large a tract Ford desires.
The stories / hear vary from five
acres to 100 acres"
Ruror yesterday was to the ef-
feet that a site had been selected
in East Chicago or Indiana Harbor
and that the price was between
$1,000 and 5000 an acre.
