However, the compliance is qualified. The cease fire will be given In Java at midnight Friday, but not until a few days later in the neighboring island of Sumatra. Since the UN Security Council ordered cessation of i"g h t i n g Christmas eve. eight days will have elapsed befor the ultimat um is met in part. Why did the Netherlands government thus lay Itsef open to a change of defy ing the United Nations? The answer is in part self-evident. The government "got Its Dutch up" and decided at all haz ards to bring the hostile Indones ian Republic into line for Inclu sion In the projected United States of Indonesia. We are told that this will be a federation of the republic and six other soverlgn Indonesian countries. The federation will in due course become part of a world-wide Dutch commonwealth of nations, similar to the British commonwealth. That brings us up against an other pertinent question which I raise here because it Is being flung at me hv readers. Is it pos sible that there is any ulterior motive behind this defiance of the peace organization? One world war veteran, who obviously does a lot of thinking, puts it like this in referring to the Dutch explanations: "I object to a plcturizatlon that the Dutch might not be. after all, merely throwing a monkey wrench into the entire scheme fop a commonwealth of nations." In short, la Holland really bent on establishing a commonwealth of soverlgn statei or la she try ing to hold her rich empire to gether from selfish motives? Well, human nature being what It Is, I think we are safe In say ing that the Dutch must be mighty sorry to see their empire breaking up. Moreover, as 1 point ed out in a previous column, the evidence at hand would Indicate thai they Intend to safeguard the interests which they have built up during their 300 years of rule In Indonesia. They also have a responsibility towards the natives, some of whom are primitive people. But having said that. I believe Ihe evidence Indicates Holland really does Intend to turn her empire Into a commonwealth of free sta.es. Naturally she hopes that such a commonwealth will he one of mutual benefit, hut she has read the writing on the wall. That writing saya clearly that the daya of empires are rapidly drawing to a close. Self-determination I a matter of common sense. The time la past when a "moth er country" can impose her auth ority on civilize' peoples belong ing to other races. She isn't their "mother" any more than an ele phant could be the mother of a tiger, lt'a against nature. The Dutch explanation of their current "police action" in Indo nesia is this: Everything was set for the Inauguration, early In the neaw year, of an interim govern ment leading to the establishment of the United States of Indonesia. The Republic had agreed to Join. However, the republic it divided against Itself, and the Dutch say those opposed to participation in the federation actually had start ed a revolt. The Netherlanda gov ernment announced last night that negotiations would start forthwith for the establishment of the Interim government. Prime Minister Drees himself is going to Indonesia to star', the ball rolling.

RYAN NEW YORK (P) The coming year holds an important mile stone for the liquor Industry and for the man who likes his whisky old and mellow. For the beverage spirits made during those distillery "holidays" from war alcohol-making in 1945 start coming of age in 19)9. This will mean more slralcht and bonded whisky on the mar ket, and more of the aged whis kies going into blends. Liquor not only will be better it may also be a little cheaper as the competition for the consumer's dollar grows with the beverage supply. During January, an estimated 19,000,000 gallons of whisky will become four years old. That may not seem much when compared with the 179.000.000 gallons of all distilled beverages believed to have been consumed in this country this year. But it's a fair start considering there was only about 37,000,000 gallons of whis ky that age or older left In the nation's bonded warehouses last June. Next July, another, larger hatch of the war-holiday brew reaches that key four-year age, and then the distillers' inventory pinch is expected to start easing gradu ally as the aged stock ratios slowly get hack to normal. However, liquor men expect to see little if any change in the price picture before next fall at the earliest. Distilled beverages cost the consumer Just about the same amount In 1948 as In the previous year, and consumption is estimated to have increased only a million gallons or so. Average Prices Lilted Following is the average price range for a "fifth" size lintt e of some representative liquors, as anticipated In the trade for the next several months. The rates may be higher in some statps because of higher freight costs, and somewhat lower - in certain others which retain mon opoly liquor sales rights. Quality "name" blends will range from S4.40 to 55, with les ser known blends containing more neutral spirits from 53.49 to S4.I0. Straight six-year-old rye iwhon you can find iti, about S.V79. Straight bourbon. S0-proo an.? three years old, about $3.65. Four-year-old 86-proof straight bour bon S5.15 to $.V75. Six-year-old straight Bourbon, 8R-prnn'f, S5.7S and up, and bonded Bourbon, Sb.ilu. Scotch over six years old. S7 to $7.10. Medium aged Scotch, 55.65 to S5.75, and some younger Scotch at $3 to 55.50. Canadian whisky, around $5 to 55.40. Ninety-proof gin about S3.25. higher proofs around S3. 50, and 85-proof and lower, 53.10 to $2.15. Domestic brandies, $4.20 to 54.45. And imported brandies all the way from 55 to $15, with the average around $7. The licensed beverage indus tries, public relations organiza tion for the industry, estimates that domestic bottled output In 1948 will total some 160,00,000 gallons, as against 175,600,000 for 1947. Scotch may be more difficult to get in 1949, because aged In ventories of that product are falling low. Importers s:;y Scotch distillers Intend to keep ihe qual ity high even at the risk of sharp dios in trade volume. Rum Gluts Market Rum still is a glut on the market, long after the drop in sales which followed the high war-time consumption in this country when whisky was scarce. However, importers and Drodu cers are mapping a hard hitting promotion campaign for 1949 In an effort to revive the popularity of rum, whose sales are impor- rSfBrJ-CS tSa'etV1'"''' '"'""V """""'I t f)i isjrjr p-.-ii i .TO, ,'-'.'!

American wine growers expect to chalk off 1948 as their second largest sales year in history. And they are looking forward to even bigger business in 1949. H. A. Caddow, secretary-manager of the wine institute, says California wineries alone ship ped 76,471,000 gallons during the first nine months of 1948 38 per cent more than in the same period of the previous year. As for beer, leading brewers said recently its sales appeared to he heading for an all-time record, slightly over 1947 s peak of 2,700,033,345 gallons. Tighter Loyalty Checks Listed For Atomic Workers WASHINGTON, Jan. 6-(.P) The Atomic Enerev Commission has laid down a tight list of loyalty checks for atomic work ers. The Commission described it as a formal set of rules "for the guidance of the responsible oincers 01 the Commission in determining eligibility for per sonnel security clearance." It listed nine "classes of dero gatory information which estab lish a presumption of security risk" and nine more which would land a prospective worker In the suspicious class where "the at titude or convictions of the In dividual must he welshed." Included in the first nine, be sides such things as current mem bership In a subversive organi zation and evidence of previous sabotage or treason, were in sanity, drug or alcohol addic tion, and the omission of "signi ficant information" from a per sonal history statement. The second category empha sized possible sympathy, Identi fication or association with sub versive individuals or groups Including the Communist party as well as conscientious objec tion to military service, except for religious reasons. In both categories, the Com mission said, the standards were to be applied to the individual's spouse, as well as to the pros pective employee himself.

Richard M. Bissell, deputy as sistant administrator of the ec onomic cooperation administra tion, who marie the forecast re ferred to a long range plan for European recovery released yes terday In Paris by the organiza tion for European economic co operation. The report declared that the countries receiving Amer ican foreign aid under ECA still will need as much as $3,000,000,000 In assistance after the plan, as now constituted, comes to an end.
