One-Time Dealer Gets Post

Interior Ickes. Sales Increase

“He put the Government in the rum business without an act of Congress, and. if he stes his way clear to do so, he can take it out of the rum business without an'act of Congress.” That Government House rum fis getting to be quite a popular drink is shown by figures sent the Hoosier dry by First Assistant Secretary of Interior E. K. Burlew. When the business first started in the Virgin Islands in 1935 the total receipts from rum sales were $954.81. In 1940 they amounted-to $145,679.95 and the grand total for the period 1935-40 was $443,016.76. In that time, 740,325.75 proof gallons of rum were manufactured. Government capital . invested in the "business amounts to $520,000. Rep. Ludlow listed two reasons why it should be abandoned, however.’ 1. Because rum-making isn’t the right kind of business for Uncle Sam to be in. 2. Uncle Sam shouldn't be in private blisiness anyway.

Points to Suffering

The Virgin ? Islands company, which makes .the rum, was formed to help solve the problem of low living standards for the islanders and the workers wages in the industry are 75 per cent greater than before rum-making was instituted. Rep. Ludlow admits. “God only knows how much misery and suffering has an caused already by the manufacture and consumption of the 740,325.75 gallones,” Rep. Ludlow said. \ “I do not have "any way of estimating the number of- drunks caused by this alcoholic overflow) as some persons will stand up under more liquor than others, but Fit must be prodigious. “Is there any one who contends that the encouragement of intoxication and drunkenness is a legitimate function of Government?

I think not.”
