The Brighter Side

7 NOTE tn a I the officials Of
i the National Alcoholic Bev-
erage Control Association con-
firm what l told you some weeks
ago. that liquor dealers are
going TO have 10 ration the hard
stuff, else there will not be
gill of whisky left in the country
if the war continues a couple Of
years.
l am not presenting this as in
the nature of a calamity, but as
a statement of fact.
Indeed, there is already con-
siderable rationing on the part
OF the big dealers seeking TO cut
down the enormous consump-
ton, which is part OF the gen.
eral- buying spree.
l am sure no moral considera-
tons enter into the curtailment.
1t is a matter of self preserva-
ton on the part of the dealers.
They do not want 10 find
themselves suddenly out Of bust
ness Tor lack OF merchandise.
HOWEVER, even at the pres
III ent rate of elbow bending.
the supply of whisky soon would
be exhausted.
The dealers cannot produce
any more during the war.
Not being an essential COM
modify. the liquor cannot be ra-
toned by the Office of Price
Administration.
II the flow down the public
guZzle is 10 be checked, it must
be done at the main spout, which
is TO say by those who own the
stocks left in the warehouses.

CUBA must be getting rich
~ again on the American pur-
chases of its rum and gin, the
latter a new venture for. our
liquor dealers.
The duty is high. but since gin
Is one of the scarcest commodi-
ties on the liquor market, the
dealers are buying all they can

Puerto Rico and the Virgin
Islands. with plenty of rum on
hand, are practically out of the
market because of the difficult
ties OF transportation.
1t is not easy transporting the
rum and gin from Cuba, either.
Moreover, the Cubans keep
boosting the price with every
fresh order.
The extensive buying up Of
wineries and grape growing
acreage on the West Coast by
the big companies and the eye-
ing of breweries by the same
concerns undoubtedly reflects
the judgment OF the more far
seeing of the liquor magnates
that the future of whisky Is
somewhat dubious IL the war
continues and that light wines
and beers must be given serious
consideration.
They have put millions into
high powered advertising cam
paigns on their wines and as a
result the consumption of wine
has increased beyond the high
est peak ever known in the
United States.
