MEDICINAL LIQUOR
FIGHT COMING UP
Drys Divided on Whether
u. S. Should Deal in Whisky
for Legal Use.
BY ROBERT r. SMALL.

The whole question Of medicinal
Iauor soon is to be threshed out as a
result of the move in the Treasury to
ask Congress to buy up all the legiti-
mate whisky remaining in the ware
houses of the United States.
Dry influences are divided on the
subject. Some prohibtioniStS favor
the move as u means of stopping the
present leaks into the bootleg trade.
Others regard the idea of the United
States dealing in liquors, even for al
legged medicinal purposes, as too alb
horrent to be considered for a mo-
ment.
Some sort of decision must soon be
reached by the Government on main
tanning the supply of whisky for me-
dicinal use. The present supply in
the warehouses will last less than five
years, 1t is estimated. Good liquor
must be at least years old. There

manufacture of new liquor within the

Is quite a departure from all previous
custom in this country, and to some
drys it looks as if it might be a step
in the direction of putting the Gov
ernment into the dispenSary business,
with the idea that at some distant
time there may be modification of
the Constitution so as to permit the
Government to dispense alcohol on a
permit system, even for beverage
purposes.
The drys who are opposed to the
Government entering the "barroom
business" as they call it, direct at
tention to the fact that the greatest
consumption of "medicinal'' liquor to-
day is in the pronounced wet sec

For Centralized Control.
The plan makes a complete re-
grouping of Federal public works ac-
tivities. More than a score of bu-
reaus, boards, departmental agencies

cally into the new department. Nu-
merouS other units are SO adjusted
that they can be served in their
pubic works aspects by the depart

The department Of public works

other function of the department
would be affiliated, this relation eX-
tending to the Commission of Fine
