Authorization for the importa-
tion Of large quantity of foreign
whisky may be given by the
Treasury within the next 10
days.
DR.. James M. Doran, chief of
the Industrial Alcohol Bureau,
disclosed that strong pressure is
being brought to bear to let down
the bars on imports.
Consumption Increases
Rapidly increasing prices and
consumption of medicinal spirits
was held to justify such a step.
Under the law, where domestic
stocks are insufficient to meet
The demand. the Treasury may
authorize imports.
About 25,000,000 gallons Of
American type rye and Bourbon
are stored in bond in Canada.
1t was anticipated that if permits
for importation were issued, the
Canadian liquor would "get the
call" This whisky was produced
IN Canada and is Canadian
owned, although of the blends
sold IN this country for medicinal
purposes.
Because Of the heavy demand

rate Of about 100000 gallons
knnually-the industrial alcohol
bureau will authorize another
increase in the production quota
about October is, Doran said.
1900, ,OOO- Gallon Quota
The present quota for this
year is 100000 gallons. Medi-
cinal requirements justify a jump
of about 100000 gallons,
officials said. This is not in
anticipation Of the repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment. Doran
explained the law simply requires
Ehe Secretary Of the Treasury
maintain the medicinal stocks at
Rn adequate level.
Present stocks, including about
100000 gallons II years old and
lO,000,000 gallons from one month
to four years old, could be
blended into more than $4,000, 900
gallons of excellent liquor, accord

Sec. Swanson
Raps Giant
Airships

Secretary of the Navy Swanson
today announced a naval court of
inquiry will be appointed to in
vestigate the cause of the Akron
disaster just as soon as possible.
Swanson also intimated that
this latest airship catastrophe
may seal the doom of airship con-
struction for the Navy in the i'm
mediate future. He said:
"I have never been enthus-
iastic over these large airships.
They are very vulnerable. I
have no intention of recOm-
mending the replacement of
the Akron"
Swanson said the Navy De-
partment would make every ef-
fort to recover the bodies.
He said the Macon, sister ship
of the Akron, would not be &C
cepted by the Navy Department
until it had successfully COM
pleted rigid tests.
The Los Angeles, now out of
commission and in storage, will
be sold, Secretary Swanson said.
Loss of the Akron means that,
with the sale of the Los Angeles,
there will be no need to continue
the Naval Air Station at Lake
hurst, N. j.
Asked if he would keep the
Macon in the East now that the
Akron is gone, Secretary Swan
son said:
"The Macon was designed to
operate with the United States
Fleet. Since it is valuable only
with the fleet, it will be sent
to Join it as soon as COMPLETED"
