Curbs Liquor
Credit Buying
New Ruling Sets Rigid
Limit On Carrying
Bills By Wholesale
Dealers.

A new rule of the Delaware
Liquor Commission, intended to
prevent "the indirect financing" of
retail liquor outlets by wholesale
concerns through extension of
credit, was announced last Friday
by Col. Edgar S. Slayer, the COM
missioner.
The new rule, effective now, re-
places a 1O-year-old commission
regulation prescribing a twO-week
credit period for payment by hold
ers of retail licenses for stocks de-
livered by manufacturers, dis
tributOrs, and importers Of alcO-
hOlic liquors.
This period is not changed by the
new rule, but provisions are added
to give the regulation teeth" by
penalizatiOn of delinquencies. Sales
to licenses delinquent more than
two weeks are prohibited until such
time as the commission certifies
the licensees as non-delinquent.
Under the present rule, Colonel
Slayer said, the distributors placed
delinquent licensees on a sO-called
COD list and continued furnishing
them with liquors.
"By letting the bills rum" he
said, importers were financing re-
tailers."
A study of the "COD" list and O
data furnishing the commission by
wholesalers, Colonel Slayer said
disclosed that one retailer owes al
importer $4,000 and "has neve
been off the COD list since Nv,
been commissioner"
"SOme clubs" he added, cow
from $500 to $1,SOO. That mean
that the importer and his beer dis
tributor are financing these organ
izations."
Colonel Slayer said that he wa
not casting aspersiOns on anyone
but that he had decided that tn
"only remedy is for the commits

LONDON, Sept. lathe British
press looked today for a "joker'
in the Washington dollar talks
agreement.
The Financial Times. which
speaks for London financial quar-
ters, speculated that it might be
devaluation of the pound, a cheap
ening of Britain's currency to
meet the emergency of its pres
ent economic crisis.
Other newspapers wanted : to
know the basis for the optimism
expressed by Chancellor of the
Exchequer Sir Stafford Cripps at
the close of the talks. Some ex-
pressed the suspicion he was
playing politics"
Cripps was quoted as saying
there is quite sufficient in this
communique to give us an assur-
ance of degree of stability in our
balance of payments situation"
The Conservative press said the
announced results OF the 3-power
talks did not warrant such op-
timism.
The British Treasury stood firm
on past declarations by Sir Stat
ford that Britain has no intention
of devaluing the pound.
A spokesman made this clear
