IMPORT QUOTAS
ON RUM ASKED

Importations Of liquors into
the United States after repeal Of
the Eighteenth Amendment may
be regulated on a quota basis,
to protect American distilling
interests.
This was indicated today by

does not provide for quotas. but
that the subject was taken up
today by a special committee
studying the liquor problem.
Public hearings on the import
ers' agreement will be held soon,
it was stated. The code calls for
licensing of importers by the
Secretary of Agriculture to en-,
force its provisions.
This is the second code involv'

FORD SAYS ELIMINATE DOLE

DETROIT, June IT, R)-In an interview, Friday. Henry Ford said that the shortest route to the res toration of an economic balance is the elimination of the "dole sy- stem.'' One of the quickest ways to eliminate the dole he added, "is to get rid of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Recovery can come only up. through the peo- pie, uot down through financial or polftieal schemes. We must put work everywhere-not the kind of work that pays a dole, but wage with margin. The Reconstruct ion Finance Corporation is nothing more than systemized dole. It doesn't relieve anybody. As long as it continues to function as the distributor of dole, we connot look for lasting improvement in economic conditions. All am say ing is that the system of making money out of money IS the wrong system, and is in process of dis appearing right now."
 He referred to the Industrial Re- coXery Act as an experiment. the value of which remains to be prov ed.
