SHORT-MEASURE
LIQUOR CHECKED
Government Also to War
on Other Violations
of Law.

BY the Associated Press.
The Government is preparing to
wage a campaign against short-meas-
ure liquor.
This announcement was made yes
terday by Joseph H. Choate, Federal
alcohol administrator who said within
a few days his administration would
issue standards of fill" for whisky,
gin, rum and brandy. in order Ito
stop these 'chiseling' sizes that make
% ounces look like quart, and and
6 ounces look like a fat hip-pocket
pint"
The new standards of fill will cover
imported liquors also, though Choate
said there were very few difficulties
in that field They will not apply
to wines, beer, cordials and other
alcoholic drinks unless evidences of
deception should materialize.
Bonded Whisky Scarce.
At the same time, Choate told news
men that real bonded whisky now
is about as rare as "old masters and
diamonds" adding that there are just
"a few hundred thousand gallons
left in explaining why bonded prices
have not been reduced. Other liquor
prices, he amplified. have dropped 20
and 25 per cent since the first of the
year
Choate, who recently urged re-
duction in liquor tariffs, said he was
prepared to make such recommended
ton to President Roosevelt as soon as
the reciprocal tariff bill becomes law
The present rate is S5 a proof
gallon. plus the So internal revenue
tax or ST." Choate said. "A so per cent
cut in the tariff would leave the total
tax at $3.50. as compared with $3.50
before prohibition"
Choate favored a tariff reduction
particularly on whisky. champaign
and brandies-the bootleggers' stand
bys"
A widespread use Of fake Canadian
labels on bootleg liquor made in the
United States was revealed to news
men by Secretary Morgenthau. A spe-
Cial inquiry revealed that smuggling
had so declined the Treasury had re-
moved so border agents from the
Detroit area.
Use Second Hand Bottles.
Choate said he understood there was
great deal of tra ffic in empty bottles
of we'll known brands. The small
bootleggers probably use second hand
bottles to great extent" Choate said
1t has been suggested that boot
leggers make arrangements for emp
ties with big apartment houses. but
we have no evidence of it. 1t is
chiefly job for State authorities. -
While the control administration
was completing standards of fill. the
Treasury gave distillers so days to
stop the quick-aging of whisky by
the use of shredded whisky barrels
or oak chips in the original distilling
process or by the introduction of
charcoal, toasted or untoasted wood
chips or shredded wood into barrels
and receiving cisterns.
The Treasury ruled that quick
aging may be accomplished legally
in five ways.
Heating the entire warehouse
Removing spirits to separate
warehouse for heating
Introduction of a closed steam pipe
into the barrel through the bunghole.
Introduction of an electric heater.
Similar processes which conform
substantially with the first four
methods.

ACCORD REPORTED
FOR BRITISH DEBT
Roosevelt Message Studied.
Reply on Plans Due
Next Week.
Continued From First Page.)

Of the main features of long held
English views:
First, that the debt question has
been upsetting the trade situation and
should be settled; and, second, Mr..
Roosevelt is ready at any time to ne
gotiate for settlement and Great
Britain has always said 1t is willing
to do likewise.
The message, however, was cody
treated in the London press. Farlia-
ment was in recess and there was no
official comment from that source.
The Financial Times said the mes
sage evinced 1.-The spirit of usury
clothed in words of reconciliation" and
called the Presidents effort to per-
suade debtors of the sacredness OF
their obligations almost a justifiable
occasion for ribaldry"
Great Care Held Needed.
"The British attitude is regarded
generally by America with the same
impatient resentment that the Ameri-
can attitude calls forth from Great
Britain and all other debtor coun-
tries" said the Times
Great care Is needed, the paper
added, lest the irritation which the
difference already has caused on both
sides is not to make future co-opera-
ton more difficult"
The Morning Express said former
President Hoover, persuaded us 10
give up the debts owed us by the
French. Italians and Germans We
accepted the advice in the belief that
America would do the same for us
There is no hope now that we will
get our money from any of those
/ countries. so there is no prospect OF
Uncle Sam getting it from US.

note dispatched to Washington has
proposed a bilateral discussion, on the

Business Plans Step Forward

The information comes from Washington that
leaders of private business in many fields have deter
mined that something should be done to shorten bread
lines in this country and that private business should
do 1t.
AS a result of the recent election. with its vote
Of confidence in the administration, these leaders
realize that there will be no immediate change IN pub
lie policies and that, in order to prevent further OBJ
jectionab1e legislation, it is up to business to show that
the country can recover without new changes and even
without some Of the emergency laws now on the
books.
This is encouraging. Everybody hopes that in
some manner business will acquire that confidence
for which it seeks and that financial, industrial and
economic leaders Of the nation will get together, pull
together and put the United States on its feet again.
In such a move lies the best prospect Of preventing
radical demands in Congress and the possible threat OF
illadvised relief measures.
