Open Letter to The Congress of The United States .

“In the next few days the Congress will be asked to consider legislation to extend the shutdown of American distillers. Since this involves an industry which pays annually more than two and a half billion dollars in taxes, and employs directly and indirectly more than two million American workers, we think it might-be . '“ useful for you and for the public to have some of the facts about the recent voluntary 60-day shutdown.

#hligations 100 per cent. Some American distillers did not “shut down. The Canadian distillers did not shut down. The British distillers did not shut down. No other country in the world closed its distilleries. For the announced purpose of providing food for hungry people in in Europe, the shutdown has been an absolute, costly, and utter failure. The purpose of our government was fo save wheat. We believe that not

| only was there no saving of wheat, but that wheat was actually lost. The distilling industry uses practically no wheat. The actual figure is ~

less than one thousandths of one per cent of the total wheat crop. This industry uses principally corn, some rye and some barley malt. Most of this grain, if nor so used, would ordinarily be fed to animals. Normally, we use about 2 per cent of the total corn crop.

"It was estimated by the President's Food Committee that the 60-day shut- . down would save approximately ten" niiltion bushels of-grain;-but-actually. little or nothing was saved because in the process of distilling we return to the farmer feeds for poultry, hogs, dairy cattle and beef cattle which in the opinion ~~

of experts have an equal or greater feeding value than the grain we used. We take out only the starch. We save. all the. protein and oil and add yeast. The resulting products are rich in protein, vitamins, amino acids and other feed values. : We are convinced that the final result is this—if a farmer has ten bushels

~of 8 grain and sells us two bushels for distilling; and then feeds the eight

bushels which he kept and the residue which we return to him, he will get “as much-added-weight-in- feeding his animals ashe would. have achieved if be had fed them the original ten bushels. We think he actually gets more. Suffice it to say that the benefits of a balanced diet have been proved over and over again for both animals and human beings. Our own Department of Agriculture, in numerous bulletins, has published many formulas for the use of distillers feeds to balance animal diets. We admit, frankly, that the exact percentage of feeding value which we return to the.economy is debatable. You may think that instead of being more, it is even as much as fifty per cent less. Let's assume that you sincerely believe thatthe Luckman plan saved five million bushels of corn, or less than one tenth of one per cent of the total grain available. But it wasn't corn the government wanted 1 to ship abroad. It was wheat. We knew that our feeds would add weight to cattle, but the government apparently was not interested in getting more meat. Now the Secretary of

bes Agriculture tells the country that we are faced with a terrible meat shortage.

It does get a little confusing, doesn’t it, gentlemen? In addition, we think they lost more wheat than they thought they saved. When the farmer doesn’t 'get our feed do you honestly believe he is going to let his poultry and hogs ind cattle starve? And maybe this particular farmer hasn't any corn. Maybe he has wheat.

So he feeds the wheat to the chickens and hogs and cattle—and it was wheat

that we wanted in the first place to ship to Europe. : ‘The government of every country in the world, except oar own, has

economy. This is proved by the fact that none of these governments have shut down their distilleries. Surely they are not purposely taking food out of the mouths of starving people. England is running at capacity; Canada is running at capacity; eleven

- countries which have submitted their needs under the Marshall plan, have

asked for grain for distilling and brewing. Even assuming that the shutdown saved a few million dollars worth of

corn, let's see what it cost: It completely dislocated an industry which pays to the Federal and Stale

governments more than two and one-half billion dollars a year in faxes.

It threw thousands of American workers out of work. We know because

~ we alone kept more than one thousand on full pay.

It increased the price of the neutral grain spirits now in storage in the United States more than 150 per cent. It opened the door wide for foreign distillers and foreign workers to take

in over. the. business of American distillers and the jobs of American ‘workers. * We ‘admit that these are strong statements, but we. will prove every ase Na

of them right up to the hilt.

There is one other fact that ought to be clarified; The publie was sold |

that the stocks of whiskey in the U. S. were adequate—that we have over

- 550 million gallons of whiskey. What we have, actually, is about 65 million

gallons of whiskey in this country which i is four yeats old or older. This is about one year’s supply. The rest is green whiskey not yet fit to drink.

(Government figures show what is put away — not what is there after evapo

_ration and outage.)

This is less aged whiskey per capita than in any disiling country onthe : :

“whole face of the globes. E Now you may well ask us why we agreed volasiity 10 shut down’ when we knew all of these facts and had communicated them to the Luckuman committee. We assented because we were conscious of an obligation to the American people, who decided in 1933 that they would prefer to have a sound distill-

ing industry with employment and taxes and government regulation instead

of bootleggers, gunmen and rot-gut. They put that in our Constitution. Soy. when the call came to help hungry people, we waated to contribute our share, heaped up and running over. We knew no grain would be saved, but when we were told that a great sacrifice on our part would be a tremendous psychological contribution for the purpose of securing assent from others to make comparable sacrifices, we agreed. : No other American industry was asked to make any comparable saerifiee. No other country asked its distillers to make any sacrifice. We think it is time for a little common sense. We think this whole question of the shutdown of distillers and the allocation of grain for restriction of production should be investigated by the Congress of the United States. Not in an hour, not in a day but ins full dress hearing with opportunity for all to be heard. Not just distillers,

but the communities that are being ruined, the workers who are being thrown :

out of wotk and the farmers who have an interest in the feeding of their stock and the disposition of their products, We believe that the public interest would be best served full disclosure * ot al the Fuca the Sol High of egy Smo
