CoHier-BIaine Measure Now
to Be Considered by FL
nance Group.
HOUSE PROVISIONS
ENTIRELY rewritten
Borah Proposal to Forbid Selling
Of 3 Per Cent Brew to
Minors Adopted.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The Collier-Blaine bill authorizing
the manufacture and sale of beer and
wine containing 3.05 per cent alcohol
was favorably reported to the Senate
by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Approval came after an attempt to
limit the alcoholic content to 2 per
cent had been rejected.
The measure goes now to the Senate
Finance Committee, which is to con-
slider the revenue provisions Of the bill.
The measure provides for levyng a
tax Of IS a barrel.
As soon as the report was filed. Sena-
tor Borah, Republican, of Idaho, in
troduced an amendment to levy an
excess profits tax, ranging from 10 to
80 per cent on brewers of beer. The
amendment was sent to the Finance
Committee along with the bill.
Borah proposed to exempt the first
dollar OF profit on each barrel of beer
from the excess profits tax, but to
levy 10 per cent on profits over that
up TO 81 so; 20 per cent from S150 to
81, and 80 per cent on profits of more
than 50 barrel
Chairman Smoot of the Finance
Committee said his committee might
meet toward the end of the week to
consider the beer bill"
The Utah Senator added that un-
doubtedly there would be hearings be-
lore his committee on the bill and he
said that it might be some time before
the bill was reported back to the SEN
ate. II he Is correct in his surmises,
the hopes Of those Senators desiring
early action on the beer bill in the
Senate may be dashed.
The Judiciary Committee voted 8 to 6
to report the bill favorably. The meas
ure differs materially from the Collier
bill passed by the House, as it reduced
the percentage of alcohol from 80 per
cent by weight, the House provision, to
3.05 per cent. The Senate committee
bill also authorized the manufacture
and sale of vine of the same alcoholic
content as beer. The House bin does
not permit wine.
Two Amendments Voted.
Two amendments to the Bill were
adopted by the Senate committee. One,
offered by Senator Borah, Republican.
Of Idaho, would prohibit the sale Of
beer to minors. and another offered by
Senator Dill, Democrat, of Washington,
would prohibit the advertising Of beer
and wine in dry States.
The effort to reduce the alcoholic
content of the beer and wine to per
cent was defeated by a vote Of to 6.
This proposal was offered by Senator
Bratton, Democrat, Of New Mexico.
The vote on the beer bill today was
as follows:
For the bill: Blaine, Wisconsin;
Hebert, Rhode Island; Schuyler, Colo
rado; Ashurst. Arizona; Walsh, Mon
tana; King, Utah; Dill, Washington,
and Norris, Nebraska.
Against the bill: Borah, Idaho;

BOSTON, January 2S.-With new
calls for assistance coming in, the East
ern division of the Coast Guard today
continued what has been one of the
periods of greatest activity in the his
tory Of the service. Although the fog,
through which Coast Guard craft had
groped all night in quest of missing
fishermen and disabled vessels, had
lifted somewhat, visibility was not good
enough to employ airplanes in the res
cue work.
As fog shrouded the waters during
the night, the fishing dragger Wal

aged. Coast Guard men are escorting
her to Boston.
Another Coast Guard craft was dis
patched to Georges Bank, in response
to radio request from the skipper Of

member Of the crew required hospital
treatment for q crushed hand.
A surf boat from the Pamet River

DEBT SPLIT DENIED.
Hoover and Roosevelt in Accord,
Officials Insist.

Officials Insist.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.
In high official quarters it was denied
today that there were any differences
Of opinion between President-elect
Roosevelt and the present administra-
ton regarding the handling of the war
debt question.
1t was indicated that there can be
no differences of opinion since the
actual negotiations with the British
government will not begin until after
the Hoover regime is out, and whatever
pourparlers may take place between
now and March will be purely in
formal and tending merely to fact
finding In order to facilitate these,
the entire State Department machinery
has been placed at the disposal of the
President-elect.
The verbal note handed on Friday
afternoon to the British Ambassador,
whereby Great Britain was invited to
begin discussions with the United States,
was drafted by Secretary Stimson and
his assistants, in consultation with Mr.
Roosevelt's representatives, Profs. Moley
and Tugwell. The note, although
described as verbal, was actually q
written memorandum, but because of
its informal character and because the
Secretary Of State verbally informed
the British Ambassador of its contents,
was designated as verbal" in diplo-
matte language.
Britain's Reply Awaited.
The State Department has had no
intimation yet when the British gov
ernment is going to act or whether it
will demand an official note of invita-
tion. Should this be the case, it is
probable that after consulting Mr..
Roosevelt. the State Department will
send formal invitation to Great
Britain.
According to reports received from
London 1t appears that the British gov
ernment is inclined to prefer this in
formal communication and Is willing
to send an unofficial representative to
the opening of formal negotiations,
soon after March 4.
Whether similar invitation to other
nations which have complied with the
terms of the various funding agree
ments will be sent, depends entirely on
Mr.. Roosevelt. So far he has given no
indication that he wishes to increase
the sphere of discussions to other ma
items. His point Of view is reported to
be that the best policy to be followed
is to try to reach a settlement with the
most important debtor nations If such
an agreement is possible and Congress
ratif1es it in April or May, it would be
comparatively easy to apply the funda-
mentals of the new British American
agreement to the other debtor nations.
The presence in Washington of dele
gates of too many countries might SER
iously complicate the issues and it is
conceivable that a general discussion,
as number of debtor nations seem to
desire, would bring the debt question
from its economic into a political field.
