j. S. IS DRYING Up"
FAST, SAYS HAYNES.
Figures Show Consumption
Now About | Per Cent
of Pre-Dry Era.

How the United States has dried
up under prohibition, despite rum
running and bootlegging, was the
subject of a statistical statement to-
day by Federal Prohibition Commits
sioner Haynes. He gave out figures
showing that major imports of dis
titled spirits to the nearby liquor
sources altogether amount
ed to slightly over l per cent of pre-
prohibition American liquor with
drawals.
Commissioner Haynes, 'if the entire
amount of exports of distilled spirits
from the United Kingdom to the Ba-
hamas, West Indies and Canada in
1928, as indicated by the present rate.
be added to the imports of Mexico In
1921 (the latest figures available),
and smuggled into the United States,
the total would be about L Il per cent
of the tax-paid liquor Withdrawals
for consumption for the fiscal year
1913.
Little Good Liquor.
"It is readily seen that there is less
occasion to worry over the rum heet
smugglers than over domestic con-
coction of fraudulent spirits: II a
greater amount is smuggled In Sean
these figures show 1t is certain that
expansion comes by means of adulter-
alton and rectification, or is synthetic
stuff smuggled out and in again? The
percentage of good liquor found in
government confiscations amounts to
less than 1 per cent. Recent maga-
zine and newspaper revelations bear
out this statement"
Commissioner Haynes figures show
ed 1,624,136 gallons of spirits export
ed from the United Kingdom to Cam
ada in 1913-before prohibition
against 813.105 gallons last year.
The Canadian imports so far this
year show a reduction of about So
per cent from the 1913 rate, he added.
United Kingdom imports to the West
Indies and Bahamas showed an in
crease from 94,140 gallons in 1913 to
350,311 gallons for the first four
months of this year, or at an annual
rate Of 1,050.933 gallons.
Figures Are Low.
'If the entire amount was smuggled
into the United States" said Com
missioner Haynes, "it would equal less
than three-quarters of one per cent
of the tax-paid liquor Withdrawals
for consumption in the United States
for the fiscal year 1918, which
amounted to 14o,2ss,424 gallons.
Stories broadcast regarding the
large amount of liquor being snug
gled into the United States are valu-
able to the bootlegger to foist his
poisonous wares on the public as
genuine imported stuff for which he
gets fabulous prices In the same
manner is the embassy fiction used
in Washington to help sale of boot
leg liquor"
