A prohibitive tax on whisky, amounting to 13 to 19 a gallon, was adopted as a part of tho War Itevenue bill today when the Senate Finance Committee decided to Impose a tax of l-0 a buahel upon all grain, creal. or other foodatuffa uied in manufactur ing dlatllled spirits for nan aa haversgra. This is In addition to the present tax of 1.10 a gallon on the liquor Itarlf. Increased taxes of .13 a gullon on mo-leaaea, syrups, and aiibalitutaa. ual In distillation for beverago purpo.ea, alao were agreed upon.

Permits for exportation will be given only for war purpoaea upon application by a nation at war with Germany. The Finance Commlttea aUn adopted an amendment to prohibit the Import ot distilled aplrtta or any produi ta used In thflr manufacture, except lor Industrial, pieclianlesl, or scientific purposas This the pronltiltUe Utx on distilled spirits meana that the I'nlled Ktates Will hive to depend for the net of the war, upon tha whisky nov In bond. According to Sanator Simmons the committee has been Informed tfiat there la enough whisky In bond to laat a yar. Other estimates say tit supply will laat three yaars. This makes unlikely a arietta curtailment of Federal revenue for, that, period, the whisky aed other distilled spirits already manufactured may be withdrawn for geneial conaumptlon upon payment of $1.10 a gallon.

Little whlaky is being imported, so that the prohibition of imports will hava little effect on the revenue. The Idea of tho committer to taking this long step toward prohibition la to conserve the aupply of grain end other food products uaed In the manufacture of whisky. Hlmmon said thr'. the Increase In tax would he prohibitive upon manufacture while the law was In affect or during the war. Manufacture of alcohol for Industrial, mechanical, or medicinal purpose would not be attested.

Provided further, that such spirits shall not be withdrawn lor export except upon the application ef an ae. credited representative of a emtion now at war with tha Imperial Oormin Government. In which application It eliall be declared that such spirits are withdrawn for use In furtherance of such war.

The amendment that preventa tha importation of whlakay or any of Ua component parts read; No distilled spirits manufactured after the approval of thla act from grain, enreal or from any edible product thereof, or from molasses, ayrupa. or any aubetttiita therefor, shall be Imported Into tha t'nlted Htalea.
