STATUS OF WHISKEY FOR BEER AND WINES One of Most Important Rulings Since National Prohibition Became Effective Washington, Marcn ?.?ueer ana < wines are given the same status as i whiskey under an opinion by the at-! torn^y general made public today by j the bureau of internal revenue. The ruling one of the most important since the advent of prohibition, makes it possible for all alcoholic liquors to be used for medicinal and other non-beverage purposes and for all to be manufactured and sold for the purpose subject only to limitation j of the Volstead act on non-beverage intoxicants. The opinion was written by farmer Attorney General Palmer the day before he retired from office, and was in reply to a series of questions from internal revenue and prohibition officials 'bearing on construction of half a dozen mootedjoints in the law.

There were many rumors afloat that the opinion had wrecked plans of dry advocates to obtain further restriction of liquor sales. Officials! refused to comment on the report, however, by Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel for the Anti-Saloon ? league, issued a statement in which - he said that;39 states bad state codes prohibiting the prescribing of beer for medicinal purposes.

Replying to the question whether the government could restrict the number of permits in any state or community, Mr. Palmer explained that .the Volstead act to which per mits could be issued and had permit- j ted no discrimination between per sons within those classes. He said ! the withholding of permits could not | be done legally even though officials j were convinced that fewer permits 1 would suffice in any given state or city. t Mr. Palmer advised officials that they had "ample authority to write such regulations as they believed nec- j essary to make certain the enforcement of. the law."

Well managed warehouses are generally recognized as the basis of a modern system for the best marketing of farm crops." When asked what effect freight rate increases will have on industry and commerce Mr. Baruch said: "The present railroad rates will tend to zone the country industrially. For instance, suppose some great'steel industry brings in six < ar loads of raw product. The rates will be so heavy that this particular plant will be unable to compete with some other plant in some other territory. In a word, the tendency will be to zone the nrmntrv industrial! v., Industrv will be decentralized. The rates will also make a difference when rarii shipments of various articles, particularly vegetables, have to compete with water shipments of the same commodity. Believes in Cotton "South Carolina," said Mr. Baruch, "is principally a cotton growing state. All efforts should be made to / encourage the growth of cotton and to protect the farmer in the marketing of his product. "If farming is made more profitable more men will take up farming.
