Officials to Open War on Rum Running
Washington reports incoming measures match a shift in liquor policy as Congress considers using liquor imports as bargaining leverage for foreign debt. The Alcohol Administration raised a temporary French wine quota amid reciprocal tariff moves, while Roosevelt, Treasury, and Navy intensify anti rum running actions after a British freighter dispute with 40,000 cases aboard. France also boosted salt pork and ham quotas by fifty percent.

Democratic lawmakers weigh broad powers for liquor trade acts
Democratic members of the Ways and Means Committee push a provision granting the President leverage to pursue bilateral trade agreements with liquor importing countries while barring deals with debt-delinquent nations. They favor mandatory terms unless a nation proves it cannot pay, seek liquor tax revenue around 229 million dollars, and consider a single federal collection with shared state allocation. Representative O Connor calls for a probe into a liquor trust amid a challenge to drugstore sale of blended whiskey.
