WOULD MAKE
EXPORT RUM
Prohibition Ruined Virgin
Islands Industry, Plea
Made to DENLY

st. Thomas, Virgin Islands, April
10 Modification of prohibition laws
so as to permit manufacture of rum
for export purposes only in the Vir-
gin Islands was advocated by MEM
bers of the municipal council of St.
Thomas at hearing at the govern
ment house before Secretary Dem
by and his congressional party,
stopping here eh route home from
feet maneuvers.
Prohibition of the manufacture
of rum, previously one of the chief
industries of the island, has retard-
cd commercial activity in the TO-
land, curtailing exports by approxi-
mately 70 percent and virtually eli
minating St. Thomas as port Of
call for foreign vessels, the coun-
cilmcn declared.
They also advocated that St..
Thomas be made a seaport for tn.
distribution of rum from the West
Indies. which before prohibition was
one of the principal businesses of
the islands. Several speakers COM
planned of what they termed unfal.
and unjust taxation in the islands.
They urged a complete revision Of
taxation, modelled on that of Porto
RICO.
Secretary Denby and his party
sailed on the transport Henderson
tonight for Washington where they
accepted to arrive Friday night.

centuate the demand, he said he did
not view the situation as acute at
this time.
Reports to the local office from

on the. farm were open in that coun-
ty, the Mclean county agent report
ed he could use "a few" while Stras-

SPUD SHIPPERS
WILL LOSE
Shortage of Cars Hard on Red
River Valley Growers

Many potato shippers in the north
ern Red and River Valley of N. D..
probably will lose a part of their
crop through inability to get suf-
ficient cars for shipping, c. w. Nc
Donnell, state railroad commissioner
said today.
"There has been some improve
ment in the last two weeks in the
number Of cars supplied" Mr.. Nc
Donnell said. "but requests for cars
continue to come in"
Shippers in Cavalier, Pembina
county, reported they needed cars
badly.
Refrigerator cars are used exclus-
lively in shipping potatoes at this
time Of the year, ,Mr. Mcdonnell
said. Shipments OF North Dakota po-
tatoes, sought for seed, have been
going to many far southern states.
The times elapsing before cars can
be returned is one of the causes of
the car shortage, he said.
