The L0llybOb Crisis

The debt France to the United States is

lapse Of the franc, which the other day dropped to
new low level So is the blanket effort by the So

These weighty problems but there is one
that is weightier. During the same hours that the

his interest in the loypop situation. It the chill

The Booze Leak

Let it be hoped that some Congressman has the
courage to demand most thorough probe OF all the
facts connected with the custody of whisky taken
from the squbb distillery.
The former prohibition director for this State
makes the unqualified charge that nearly two years
ago an inventory secured by the enforcement bureau
showed that $50 cases Of this booze had disap
peared.
His charge is specific. He names the man,
high official in the department, who, he says made
the check.
1t is significant that this man is no longer
part of the enforcement agencies
IF is even more significant that no publicity
given at that time to his report and apparently no
official action taken to trace the possible manner
in which it disappeared or place the blame Tor It's
disappearance:
This whisky is worth thousands of dollars
The people who believe in prohibition as we'll
as those who do not favor it. will agree the SIM
pie policy that any seizures made should be care
fully guarded and not permitted to get back into
bootleg channels.
Every good citizen should have some curiosity
about the apparent lack Of interest in such report
If any private citizen was known to have al
lowed $50 cases of whisky, which he might have
legally held to disappear, there would have been an
immediate inquiry and 1nVeStlgatlon.
There are a few questions which should be an
swered for the sake of public confidence in the law
and in officials.
Where did this report of the disappearance of
liquor go?
What effort was made to clear up the mystery?
Was the officer who made that report separated
from his position because he made this report?
What effort was made to protect the remaining
stock of liquor against the fate?
Was the Federal Court, which had custody of
this booze, informed of it and, if net, why was no
such report made?
The people who believe in law and want to have
confidence in their government are entitled to an
answer.
Congress should probe the whole matter. 1t is
rather important
