D|ST|LLERS URGE
REDUCTION IN TAX
Declare Unlimited Imp0rta-

~ the Aasoeaated Prsas.

n tke Associated PreaA.
NEW YORK. July 12-Regardlcss
Of unlimited imp0rtations Of liquor
Americans viii continue TO pay exist
fnR prices for their drinks unless taxes
are lowered
This Was the consensus today Of
several large liquor dlstilling COM
panies following the announcement
Of the Federal Alcohol Control Ad-
Tninistrstion that unlimited amounts
OF liquor could be brought into this
country for two months beginning
September l.
The announced purpose Of the move
was to combat bootlegsing and bring
down domestic prices
BootIegger stiH Active.
The distiIlers said, however, that It
would not do this. All asserted that
The Governments action merely would
extend the present situation unlim-
fed ifnportstions have been allowed
for about three months now.
Prices have not been appreciably
lowered and the bootlegger still is
getting along pretty well, the distn-
Rrs declared
An official OF one Of the largest dis
tiileries OF domestic whistles said
prices would come down If taxes we're
reduced and If folks would drink more
whisky"
Whisky consumption is not so
great as We had expected he said.
This official regarded permitting
unlimited importations as an "artifl-
eial and ineffective method Of forcing
down domestic prices"
Must Come Naturally.
price reductions must come
through natural economic processes
through keen competition and con-
gumer demand he declared, adding
"And of course, taxes are too high"
Lowering OF the tariff on liquors,
the official felt, would not cause
domestic producers TO adjust prices
downward
1T would drive us out Of business, -
he declared. ANY reduction in i'm
port duties should be accompanied
by compensatory cutting OF domestic
taxes"
A spokesman for another distilling
company said extension of unlimited
importations on liquor wouldn't mean
a thing"
Domestic prices won't go down,
he said "Other countries can't ex-
port much liquor to the United States
because of the tariff"
Henry /. PETER, chairman Of the
board of Seagram Distillers Corpora
ton, said he was greatly pleased" at
the alcohol control administration
extension of unrestricted imports.
He said, however, that lower tariffs
and taxes were necessary to bring
down the price of liquor.
