LIQUOR FLOW IS UNABATED United States Paid $40,000,000 for Foreign Booze. By United Press WASHINGTON. Aug. 15. spite of the cordon of dry agents along the borders and the coast, the United States paid $40,000,000, at least, for foreign liquor last year, the Commerce Department estimated today. This figure is the same that was set for 1924 and 1925, as part of the sheet of “invisible items of trade.” “According to official Canadian statistics, Canada exported to the United States during 1926 whisky valued at $15,475,270, ale and beer valued at $5,521,902, and other alcoholic beverages raising the total to $21,454,310,” the Commerce Department explains. “Smuggling out of Canada must have increased this figure. It appears also that rum running along the Atlantic coast from Europe and the West Indies is a factor.” The payments for foreign liquor last year were only some $6,000,000 below American contributions to foreign missions, relief, education and scientific research abroad, which is estimated at $46,135,000. Contributions for these purposes are dropping, the total being estimated at seventy-five million in 1922, seventy million 1923. fifty-five million in 1924 and fifty million in 1925.

‘ Wildcat * Beer Business Vexes U. S. Dry Officials

U. S. Has No Power to Stop Ingredients Used by 'Alley Brewers.’ Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 15—Active business in “wildcat” beer and “alley-brewing” was found in Buffalo, Detroit and Chicago, by Dr. James M. Doran, Federal prohibtion commissioner, on an inspection trip which also included St. Paul, Minn, and Columbus, Ohio. Doran reported today much of this “wildcat” beer is being manufactured from wort, a legal malt product, some of which is being imported from Scotland. * Customs officials, Doran said, have no power to stop this product as it is not alcoholic of itself. The “wildcat” brewers also are using the “cold water process,” malt syrup, sugar and yeast. Legitimate brewers, Doran said, are taking steps to prevent sale of wort from their establishments, and the Government will institute conspiracy proceedings wherever it can be proved that purchase is for beermaking. "A year ago,” Doran said, “A good deal of good beer came direct from breweries. But the game became too tough and the breweries now are complying with the law. “Wildcatttng” started. The product is a green liquid with 4 or 5 per cent alcohol.” Doran said this brewing is carried on in alleys and garages, and in Chicago an agent found a wildcat brewery in an old meat house near the stockyards.
