They Insist that this is a rank discrimination, brought about by the social and economic Influence of the British working In behalf of the Scotch -Whisky Trust" This rivalry betwet-- the Scotch and Irish distillers for the American market la one of the queer twists thut could occur probably nowhere else in the world, because the root of the matter go back to Dr. Harvey Wiley, of pure food fame, to Presidfiit Taft' liberal interpretation reversing Wiley on bis "What Is Whisky!" argument, and to prohibition. The truth of course la that in the ordinary understanding of the words in America, Irian whisky is straight, and Bcotch whisky Is not Hut under the ruling of Choate neither Is "straight" The ordinary American understands "straight" whisky to be liquor distilled from a grain mash, undiluted by neutral spirits or any other "thinning Ingredient Under this definition practically all Scotch whisky sold in America, or In England for that matter. Is a blend. It has mixed with the original malt whisky neutral spirits, water, a little sherry, and sometimes other Ingredients. Further, whiskies of different distilleries and of different years e are frequently mixed together to a certain flavor or quality. This is not actually an objection to one who knows his whisky. In fact, until the Scotch began "blending" their whisky with neutral spirits, they were never able to sell it outside Scotland. It was a little too pungent for the English taste, for example. At a hearing before the royal commission, several years before the World war, It was testified that not a drop of straight Scotch had been sold commercially for years in fact, not since Just before ISO.", except once at a time of overproduction, when an attempt was made to sell some in England. Despite heavy advertising and boosting, the English did not like the straight Scotch, and continued to buy the blended brand they were used to. n - pro-dac- Real Sales Talk But In America, due to Doctor Wiley and to prejudices built up during prohibition against the addition of alcohol, the word "straight" "cutting,'" etc. has come to be a very real selling argument The Irish distillers wanted to take advantage of this, and were doing so in their advertising In this country last spring and summer. Then came the ruling they could not label their whisky "straight" . Style-AlertWi- Wear Smart Linen il Cv "Irish whisky Is not straight," Choate Insisted to the writer. "Every Irish distiller mixes products of different years." In short, Irish whisky could be called "a blend of straight whiskies" If the distillers so desired. But not "straight" But meantime, due to some of the atrocious tasting "blends of straight whiskies" marketed In America, a prejudice against this term had grown up. In fact, two big whisky concerns capi talized that and by making blends of actually aged whisky with neutral spirits, with no new whisky to ruin the taste, had run away with the market. The Irish distillers, without exception, all mix the product of different years. Their labeling as to age indicates the yeungest whisky used In this "blend." Meanwhile, however, Choate had been compelled to yield on another point his own definition of what could be called "whisky." Under his original mllng Irish whisky could not have used that word, because It was distilled at 171 proof, whereas he fixed 100 as the limit This the Importers Ignored with Impunity for some mouths, until It was revoked. To Settle Feud Inside information Is that President Roosevelt will settle the feud over exports between Cordcll Hull, Secretary of state, and George Peak, "special adviser to the President," in favor of Hull. This will break the log Jam which has been bogging down the reciprocal trade agreements on which Hull pinned so much hope. Hull has favored reciprocal trade agreements, retaining the "most faTored nation" clause. Peak has favored direct barter agreements between governments. There Is not the slightest sign of an ending to the feud. Both men are determined and stubborn. Neither Is giving any sign whatsoever of yielding. Peak still stands firmly for barter, with government control, virtually regimentation, of both Imports and exports. Hull stilt stands strongly for the reciprocal trade agreements, which would give equal advantages to all foreign nations not discriminating against the United States, and for permitting trade to flow naturally, through normal channels, with no regimentation, quotas or other governmental Interference. Hope for a break In the deadlock lies in the fact that there are definite Indications the President hns made a decision, though there has been no public statement or even a private one, to that effect The differences between the two men have blocked any hope of getting anywhere with either scheme up to date Hull working for the treaties, and Peak, with the power of government mour to loan exporters or Importers, SijiiS of the Hull victory were first evident when this German agreement Information today was held up. is that it will never receive White Hue approval, despite the fact thats it would disiMJse of half a million b'-of Auierkau cotton.

V- -' Illustrating the generally unestimat-e- d value of foreign trade to American workers, a computation that no les than 12,(XH),(KW Americans last year were dependent on American exports has been prepared by one of the experts working on the problem of how to get some activity In the apparently Inactive negotiations for more reciprocal trade agreements. The figure has amazed senators and members of the house to which it hns been shown, especially as so much stress has been laid In the last few years on the small percentage of this or that product of America which was exported Such statements have generally been made In connection with an argument that America could disregard the rest of the world, build a Chinese and wall around itself economically, prosper. "Starting off with the automotive Industry," this expert said, "there were some 350,000 cars, trucks and buses exported from America In 1934, either direct from American plants or for local assembly In branch plants abroad. Each of these vehicles represents a minimum of 500 hours of Inhor, that estimate growing out of an NBA study last year showing an average of 140 hours per automobile In final assembly and such processes of machining, painting, upholstery, etc.. as are performed directly In the automobile factories. "Fabrication of parts purchased from outside factories, the production of basic raw materials and other processes are additional, the total of which may be guessed as doubling the work done In the automotive factories. Adding a modest amount to cover transportation, both during and after fabrication, and such other things as sales force, executive supervision, accounting, bank clearances, etc., the estimate of 500 hours per automobile Is, If anything, highly conservative. "Now, If you multiply MO hours by the 350,000 uuits exported last year, we have at least 175,000,000 hours of labor, which, at 35 hours a week, makes 5,000,000 weeks or 100,000 years.

It is on these blocked mark that the t trouhle centers In this particular the of here is Put the esceiice of the objections to the whole barter plan. For it would force trade, so to sjieak. along new and unnatural channels, against not only Inertia but the active opiosii!on of existing trade agencies. The point regarding the marks is that there is already a stupendous amount of these blocked marks on the market They can be used for only one purpose to buy German goods for export. In the present Instance this Is a serious objection. There Is a very real boycott against German goods, esiecia!ly on the part of our department stores, which for some time have handled a very large percent nge of all German Imports. So the blocked marks on the market are selling at a very sharp discount Germany Is deliberately encouraging this discount, figuring that the profit which would accrue to anyone using them to nuy German goods for some other country will eventually break through the deadlock. Purchase by the United States government under the Peak agreement now on the President's desk, of some forty million dollars' worth of blocked marks.
