Inquiry.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 49,
Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Andrews today ap-
proved the Congressional pro-
posal for an impartial inquiry
into the social and economic
effects of prohibition and an
nounced his purpose to have the
Federal Government purchase
all available bonded whisky in
the United States if practicable.
While declining to state whether
he favors the specific proposal for
an investigation by a presidential
commission as sponsored in the
House by vets and drys. until he
studies the bill, Andrews. neverthe-
less, frankly declared:
II have always felt the need for
more accurate information as to
results obtained. 1t certainly would
be advantageous TO the success of
the law to have these controverted
facts settled and thus remove them
from the present field of discussion
with It's widely divergent statements.
The nation could accept the result
of the proposed study, and thus
settled, to fixed policy. could go
ahead successfully"

Andrews pointed out that such a
move also would result in having the
existing supply bottled, sealed and
cased and preventing further leak

to know exactly how much pure
whisky remains In stock so that
steps can be taken at the proper
time to manufacture additional
quantities at least five years before

warm on the purchase proposal, be-
lieving it would unnecessarily put

According to unofficial estimates,
there are between 100000 and
20 100000 gallons of whisky in
bonded warehouses. the remainder
Of the stock in that which prohibi-
ton caught. The purchase of this
would cost from S150,OOO.OOO to
