NEW YORK, September ~ CN.A.NA,)
Suggestion is made by many persons
that the repeal of the prohibition act OF
at least the legailizing OF beers and light
wines might be an important factor IN
reviving business. It is argued by them
that the manufacturing of beer would
absorb considerable of the cereal grain
! surplus in the United States, provide
employment for capital and labor, ex-
pand railroad traffic, etc.
The following study attempts to mea-
sure the value Of these arguments from
the economic viewpoint. OF course,
there are moral, political, social and
ethical considerations, but the follow
ing study will be confined to the eco
nomic phase.
During the four or five years proceed
ing 1914, the manufacture of fermented
malt liquors in the United States
reached its peak. At that time brewing
was one of the leading industries, rank
ing fourteenth. Total value added by
manufacture of malt and malt beverages
was placed in the 1914 census Of manu-
facturers at about $352,000,000. That
was almost $s0,000.o 900 more than the
value added in manufacture OF all
animal products, including meat pack
ing.
At that time the census reported
1,4l3 breweries, giving employment to
about "a, 900 workers. About one-seventh
of the industry, employing $4,000 people,
was located In New York. Power used
by the industry was estimated at 405,000
horsepower, and cost Of materials was
about $168, 900.
Termed Domestic Industry.
The industry relied mostly on domestic
raw materials. Importation Of foreign
malts and hops was rather unimportant,
and likewise importation of foreign
ready-made beers amounted to hardly
one-third of / per cent of consumption
of the domestic product. Brewing, there
fore, might have been considered an
almost purely domestic industry.
Brewing, according to statistics, also
was one OF the most stable industries,
and the annual record show that be-
tween 1890 and 1914 only twice did the
consumption decline. The following
table shows the growth Of consumption
since 1870:

A great benefit from the revival of
the beer industry, say advocates OF this
change, would go to the Federal H.
nanceS. Before the war the United
States Treasury used to collect so to
10 million dollars from the beer tax,
and in 1918, when the tax was So per
barrel, the Government collected more
than $50 million dollars. In recent
years great deal of this money, plus
what the Federal Treasury collected on
distilled beverages (about $50 million
dollars, has gone to bootleggers, 1t Is
contended. The revival of the beer in
dustry would, therefore, mean a shift
from decentralized, inefhcient and Illicit
industry to a centralized and tax-paying
industry, say those who demand modi-
fication.
CheapneSs FayOrs Beer.
One of the reasons why the conSump-
ton of beer was increasing before the
war and why beer was slowly push
ing out" other alcoholic beverages, par
ticularly the so-called ehard stuff" was
the cheapness of beer it Is said. 1t Is
argued that the same will undoubtedly
hold for the future. Competition of
legally-made beer with carbonated bev-
erages, other Notwithstanding drinks
and illicitly-made beer will be success
full only when beer is really cheap, 1t is
said. Only then, it is commended. could
she follc wing prediction by Mr., Fox be
realized:
when beer comes back the demand
for it will be enormous. Remember
that In e-prohibition days malt bev-
erages constituted "a per cent of all the
alcoholic beverages made and sold in
the United States.
Considering that the whole trend of
our population is toward the cities, that
for many years to come it will have no
legal competitor in the field of alco-
holic beverages and that it will un-
doubtedly be the most popular low
priced drink on the msrket, the field for
1t is almost linitless.
with the development of chain
stores and auto-truck transportation,
the marketing and distribution of bser
will put it within the reach of every
family. am fully convinced that
within five years after the brewing bus
mess is re-eSts blisEed our sales will
reach 100000 barrels a year."
The consumption of beer in 1914
amounted to sbout 66,000.000 barrels,
