: on the people of the United States by propaganda, started during the war, that it was necessary as a war emergency.

“The fighting in World War II has been over for more than two years. Now many thoughtful people are wondering if we

are threatened with Prohibition again. Certainly the dry propaganda mill is working overtime again, but it isn’t quite clear whether the 1948 “party line” is that Prohibition is necess because the last war is not over, or because there is a third World In any event, the Congress is being asked to extend legislation to restrict distillers to a few days’ grain supply each month. This would be a long step toward bringing back Prohibition. It cannot be for any other purpose. |

The use of corn for distilling does not deprive America or the

world of a single slice of bread.

As for wheat, the distilling industry uses less than one thou-

sandth of one per cent of the total supply. : So the purpose must be Prohibition.

Even a school boy economist knows you do not save any grain when you restrict only one industry that uses about 1% of the total.

This is true because restricting one industry’s 1 per cent sounds - a warning to the users of the other 99 per cent of the possibility

"+ of allocation in their industries and actually encourages them —

in‘the absence of any restriction—to process or pile up as much

grain as they can. Just tell anybody that something is going to

be scarce, and he will buy more than he normally uses.

The fact that grain could be distilled anywhere iri the whole

wide world including countries which import our American - grain—while American distilleries were shut down—proves that

* ours was the only country that fell for such economic nonsense.

__ No other country is destroying a source of governmental revenue big enough to pay half the cost of the-Marshall plan.

No other country is destroying anindustry employing, directly

and indirectly, more than two million of its citizens.

The claim that the restriction of American distillers has any

humanitarian or economic basis is dry propaganda —and nothing else! nr

It might be hard to persuade the American workers who are out of ‘werk in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, to agree that the shipment of our grain for distilling in Canada or any other country by foreign workmen could serve any humanitarian, economic

.. America has sixty Lawrenceburgs! American Distilleries were shut down in 25 ‘states. Canadian distillers ran at capacity, British distillers ran at capacity. Distilleries behind the Iron Curtain were reported running

" with American grain. \

The very countries that are asking America for food are asking for more American grain for distilling and brewing thdn the

whole American distilling industry has ever used in any year.

When the American distillers were shut down in November and December, Canada doubled its imports of American corn. Canada is not a starving country,

In the last four months of 1947, which included the American shutdown period, Canada imported almost one and a half million

If the American distilling industry were unrestricted it would use at the most as we have said, less than 1 per cent of the grain.

The Secretary of Agriculture has issued an order, now in effect, cutting this down to }% of 1 per cent. This }2 of 1 per cent is

supposed to save the world, yet the Secretary of Agriculture _ tells a committee of the Senate that we will have plenty of grain.

But our processing of even this small amount of grain would -

not remove it from the food economy. Only the foreign gov-

ernments seem to appreciate the fact that distilling not only |

keeps men and’ women employed, and adds to government revenue, but also results in by-product feed supplements which are returned to the food economy in the form of more meat, milk, butter, eggs, poultry and pork.

Some say that at least 45 per cent of the grain we use is thus

returned to the food economy in the form of animal feeds. And

some say more than 100 per cent is returned in the feeding value

of the Vitamin-rich high-protein residue.

As we said in the beginning—the restriction of American =

distillers can have no other: purpose than prohibition! The dry propagandist will try to tell you that there is an enormous gallonage of whiskey in this country. Actually, all during the war, this industry converted all its facilities to making alcohol for ammunition and synthetic rubber. After the war it was closed down month after month on account of European needs for grain. ” ie

The truth is that there is today in the United States just about one year's supply of whiskey four years old, or older. The rest

is green whiskey, not yet matured and ready for market,

The distilling business needs no defense by us. The people and

the Congress of the United States decided through the Twenty. - - First Amendment to the Constitution that it is a legal business - and a recognized part of our economy; More than a hundred ~~ thousand American citizens invested their savings in this industry on this assurance,

Don't let anyone tell you that the distillers are against aid to Europe. a aa Le

“Last year, this was the on y industry that made aseparateand

voluntary contribution for the feeding of hungry people in other

lands. The Distillers bought and paid for 20 million pounds of

grain for Europe. -

From October 25th to December 25th, we shut down volun. tarily in answer to the plea that it would encourage others to

make sacrifices. Schenley paid full wages—over a million dollars —to its employees who were thrown out of work.

We believe that hungry people everywhere should be fed.

It is the American tradition to give of our resources to succor the needy and the unfortunate wherever they may be. ‘

‘We are ready and willing to contribute on the same basis as every other American industry to the cost of providing relief to the people of Europe. But we do not agree that this can best be done by a partial or complete return to Prohibition. We do not believe it can be done by destroying or restricting an industry which the American people expressly voted into existence.

We do not believe it can be done by weakening our home economy through the loss of billions of dollars of revenue for

. National, State, and Local governments; or by throwing hundreds of thousands of American workers out of their jobs.
