board and liquor, “when they
wanted it."

A year ago—
almost unknown
New York.—Liquors having a value
in the legitimate market of more titan
$300,OOO,(XX) and worth in bootleg
channels more than $1,000,000,000,
shipped from the United States to for
eign countries just before the Volstead
net went into effect on January 10,
1022, eventually will tlnd their way
back to this country, under the pro
visions of the Willis-Cnmpbell act
passed by congress last November to |
supplement the national prohibition
law, according to John L). Appleby,
general prohibition agent In charge of
New York and New Jersey.
Big Shipment Enters.
Already one big shipment has been
made to this country under the provi
sions of the supplemental law. Gin
j valued in bootleg circles at $3,(HK),000
was reimported from Cuba about two
weeks ago. The distillery which made
the shipment had gone out of busi
ness, a fact that apparently was not
discovered by the government agents
until the gin bad arrived here. A spe
cial penult bad to be obtained from
Was', ngton before it could be stored
In a local warehouse, pending Its
withdrawal for medicinal purposes on
permits from the director’s office.
Prohibition agents were mystified In
checking up the cargo to note on the
uiuulfest 112 empty barrels. They
have not yet been able to make out
the reason for the empties, but Fed
eral Prohibition Director Ralph A.
Day regarded It us a suspicious cir
cumstance.
The passage*of the Wlllls-Camphelt
law. ostensibly for the purpose of kill
ing medicinal beer, has made It pos
sible for the thirsty to be supplied
with good liquors for a much longer
period than appeared likely before
the measure was adopted, prohibition
officials said. In some quarters the
provision for the reimport of liquors
was considered as a “Joker.”
Stored in Other Countries.
The law provided “that the com
missioner may authorize the return to
the United States, under such regula
tions and conditions as he may pre
scribe, any distilled spirits of Ameri
can production exported free of tax
and reimported In original packages
in which exported anil consigned for
redeposit in the distillery bonded
warehouse from which originally re
moved."
Liquors have been stored In France
and other countries in large quanti
ties. according to Mr. Appleby. The
prohibition deportment plans to scru
tinize carefully the applications for
permits to reimport.
What is regarded as another “Jok
er" In the supplemental law is the
provision which exempts payment of
tax and penalty for distilled spirits
upon which the tax has not been paid
which are "lost by theft, accidental
fire or other casualty while in posses
sion of a common carrier subject to
the transportation act of 1920 or the
merchant marine act, 1920, or If lost
by theft from a distillery or other
bonded warehouse.”
