LIQUOR QUESTION.
POSITION IN AMERICA,
(By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association) (Received Wednesday, 12.10 p.m.)
WASHINGTON, Tuesday
The Supreme Court's decision means that millions of gallons of intoxicants stored throughout the country, valued at £200,000,000, will be nearly a total loss unless Peace is proclaimed before constitutional prohibition becomes effective. The Government will lose £100,000,----000 revenue from whisky alone unless, the ban is lifted. The decision means the clamping down of the lid again wherever it was lifted by the Federal Court injunctions and subjecting all who sold intoxicants to prosecution.
The decision does not settle whether 75 per cent, of the beer 'can be sold under the® war-time prohibition.
