Washington, May 30. (AP)—The
fluctuations of the financial for
tunes of the government of neigh
toring British colonies, for instance
of the Bahama Islands, lifted from
debt to iprosperity since the United
States went dry, and of the Bermu
da Islands which have won from the
Bahamas much profitable business
in exporting liquor to the American
coasts, is being watched with inter
est by the prohibition enofrcement
officers here of the government.
!_!érmuda now has a handsome sur
plus in its treasury.
The latest development in the Ba
hamas, & move to start a distillery
to. manufacture American rye
whisky, all stocks of which, as far as
the bootlegging business is concern
ed, are practically exhausted, has
come to the attention of prohibition
officers. In the Bahama jassembly W.
K. Moors recently moved the ap
jointment of a select committee to
enquire into and report on the work
ing of the spirits and beer manu
facturers’ act of 1920. Speaking to
the motion, Mr. Moore told his fel
low legislators that opportunities
were coming to their island. The
Bahamks, he declared, had encour
(nd the liquor traffic, but there
was no American rye whisky avail
able, the enormous supplies export
ed from the United States to those
islands before prohibition having
been exhausted by the bootlegging
‘{ullndss in the four years since
then.
‘. Pergons interested in the distil
ng-. Mr. Moore stateds believed the
manuafcture of rye whisky and its
gxport to the American coast would
he, "‘g, means of resuscitating the is
hnda,"rum running trade and add
10 Bahama’s revenues, now at a
l?w ebb because much of the rum
running business wes being conduct
eg from Bermuda. A committee ot}
seven members was: appointed to re
port on the working of the spirits
and beer manufacturers’ act.
Spéaking of the proposed rye whis
key distillery, a Bahama newspaper
remarks that if the Bahamas can
suuply the intensified 'demand for
rye whiskey, the colony may once
again have a monopoly and attract
business with a revenue of $3 for
each proof gallon dlstilled. Also it
way again be able to finsist that
buyers thke Scotch along with rye
If this happens the paper suggests
that the duty on imported whiskies
be laised to $6 again, and kept

A year ago the tariff on liquors
was reduced from $6 to $3 4 case in
order to stop the decline in the
traffic. Through the' reduction it is
claimed the colony lost more than
$500,000 in revenue. A proposal
now before the legislature calls for
a further reduction to $1 a case.
1.. W. Young, member of the as
sembly and one of those strongly
favoring reduction of the duties,
said that when the members of the
House rcalized how much the lig
uor husiness had changed the inter
nal affairs of the colony, civic, so
cial and a2lmost religious, it was
time they shouid consider very se
rionsly how they would dispose of
the questior. Not only had there
been“spent upon public improve
ments and utilities, making com
mitments that were going to in
volve huge expenditure for many
yeare te come, .
In Bermuda the legislature has
been deoating the question of what
to do with a tidy surplus resulting
from the liquor traffic. Members of
the assembly Thave cautioned
rgainst excessive expenditures and
mcunting expenses because they pro
fess to foresée a curtailment of the
colony’s revenues from the liquor
traffic. A report to the assembly re
cently indicated that had it not been
for the heavy receipts from liquor
import duties, the colony during the
last fiscal year, would have faced a
deficit,

T 0 SOLVE TRAFFIC JAMS
A'bany, May 30. (AP)—Traffic ex
perts of New York state have recom
mended the discontinuation of
parking cars in congested districts
as a relatively easy solution of the
automobile prcblem. The immediate
question confronting cities is to fit
traffic to the streets, they declare.
This can be done with little expensc
and little delay by proper control of
/parking. The ultimate problem is to
'fit the streets to traffic, which will
cost much money.
«“Fventual prohibition cf parking
‘must come,’ the report of the ex
perts says, “in view of the fact that
traffic will continue to increase and
‘that ‘attempts to relieve congestion
by parking time limitations, traffic
'diversion and other restrictions do
not and can mnot satsifactorily an’
finally care for the interests of the
‘public generally, the merchant and
the automobile owner.
| ¢‘“Those who have studied the au
ttomoblle traffic problem are agreed
‘that streets are arteries of traffic
‘and that moving vehicles should
have preference over standing ve
'hlcles. '
