By the Associated Press.
A proposed marketing agreement for
the distilling industry which may serve
as a vehicle for Federal control Of liq-
uor In the event Of prohibition repeal
was filed yesterday at the Farm Ao-
justment Administration.
In its present form, the pact would
provide only a limited amount Of Fed
eral regulation, but officials contem-
plate amendment to provide wide
powers Of supervision
Conferences continued yesterday on
the plan to use the proposed marketing
agreement. II the eighteenth amend
ment is discarded, as q means for con-
troll Of liquor at its source during the
period between repeal and enactment
OF new legislation by Congress.
DbtilIers for Supervision.
The distillers themselves were repre-
sented as favoring strict Federal super
vision during this period to prevent the
return Of abuses which might give
impetus to another prohibition move
ment.
Through marketing agreement, the
Farm Adjustment Administration could
limit the number Of new distilleries
which might be built in States where
laws allow their operation. A code could
be written also which would impose
strict standards for those engaged in
the business.
The agreement filed yesterday would
prevent distillers from owning any in
terest in saloon or other retail estab-
lishments which sell liquor
All distilled spirits. save brandy and
rum would be included in the pact and
the Government would &c given regu-
latory powers through licensing.
The distillers would be bound 10 use
grain in the manufacture Of their prod
uct unless the Secretary of Agriculture
made special allowances. .'
Point Of Contention.
This was point of contention be-
tween distillers Of liquor and alcohol.
the latter desiring the privilege Of using
a certain amount Of molasses. The pro-
vision giving the Secretary the power to
waive the use of grain was regarded as
q compromise.
Another clause in the tentative pact
binds the distillers to pay parity prices
for the farm products they use.
Supervision of the pact would be un-
der a code authority. a committee Of 13
representing the industry. and two nom
voting members to be named by Secre-
tary Wallace and the administrator Of
the recovery act.
Seven would be from that part Of the
industry which manufactures spirits Of
10 proof or below, and six from that
section which makes spirits Of l60 proof
and over.
No date was fixed for a hearing. Be-
fore one is called the proposals for ad-
ditional regulation probably will be
worked out.

The administration has been aware,
too, that Mckee has been drawing

that Fiorella La Guardia, his fusionist
opponent, has been asking who au-

the White House reiterated its hands

PROPAGANDA BLAMED.
British Officials Deny Riots Due to
immigration.

LONDON. October % (P).-The view
taken in official quarters in London is
that the Arab riots in Palestine cannot
be ascribed to increased Jewish tmmi-
grafton arising from the anti-Jewish
agitation in Germany.
It was stated 6.730 Jewish immigrants
were admitted to Palestine in 1882,
while in the six months, April to
September, 1888, $500 Jewish immi-
grants were admitted. and another
$500 will be absorbed between October
and March.
These numbers, it was said, are de-
termined purely by economic condi-
tions in Palestine, immigration into
which is watched closely. No Jews are
allowed to enter unless it is reasonably
certain they will be provided for and
have occupations awaiting them.
The opinion was expressed by polit-
icai observers that propaganda among
the Arabs, based on the expulsion Of
Jews from Germany and the economic
depression, are among causes Of the
riots,

The purpose, however, Is to build up

There Is much that must be done,

operating under the N. r. A. codes are
threatened by importations in large
quantities of foreign goods made by
cheap labor abroad. The same need
may exist, and it already does exist, in
connection with the importation Of for
eign commodities. as for example, rye.
But while the Tariff Commission will
be used by the administration to give
the needed information to bolster up
the domestic recovery program. eventu-
ally the effort will be to expand Ameri-
can trade all over the world This
may be done. 1t is said, through trade
agreements between this country and
foreign nations whereby goods that are
not produced In this country, or are
produced In insufficient quantities, may
be imported with very low duty or no
duty at all. Under such compacts, the
foreign countries would agree to re-

Throughout Palestine British troops
