WASHINGTON, November 29.
The United States Government on Wednesday notified liquor importers ,of its intention to use the repeal of Prohibition to bring about a lowering of tariff barriers against' American products in other'countries through the allocation of liquor imports after December 5. '
With the ending of Prohibition keen competition is to bo seen among other countries to secure the United . States liquor business. This will militate against domestic distillers and brewers. It is estimated that twenty million gallons of spirits and fifteen million of wine will be imported in the first year after repeal. The Government will retain emergency powers to control the prices of imports, if necessary, and desires to preserve the orderly development of the liquor industry by co-or-dinating the domestic and importing branches and protecting the industries branches as well as the consumers.
