Anniversary of Repeal Sparks Prohibition Debate
Washington reported on the third anniversary of repeal with allies and opponents of John Barleycorn renewing a fierce dispute. J M Doran of the distilling industry hailed repeal as a new national conscience. Edward B Dunford of the anti saloon league argued consumption rises under advertising and social pressures as bootlegging persists. Whisky production stays brisk with October output at 20,298,744 gallons and 352,638,966 gallons aging in bonded warehouses. Projections show a potential 1938 storage whisky surge of 595,247,950 gallons if trends continue. Per capita use figures remain disputed, with Doran citing 0.56 gallons in 1936 versus 1.62 gallons in 1917.
