Time for Common Sense An Open Letter to The Congress of The United States . In the next few days the Congress will be asked to consider legislation to extend the shutdown of American - distillers. Since this involves an industry which pays annually more than two and a half billion dollars in taxes, and employs directly and indirectly more than two million American workers, we think it might be useful for you and for the public to have some of the facts about the recent voluntary 60-day shutdown. Schenley entered into the voluntary agreement and has lived up to its obligations 100 per cent. " Some American distillers did not shut down. The Canadian distillers did not shut down. . 1 ''. The British distillers did not shut down. - ' ' ' No other country in the world closed its distilleries. For the announced purpose of providing food for hungry people in Europe, the shutdown has been an absolute, costly, and titter failure. Tie purpose of our governmenf was fe save wheat. We believe that not only was fhere no saving of wheat, but that wheat was actually lost. The distilling industry uses practically no wheat. The actual figure is less than, one thousandths of one per cent of the total wheat crop. This industry uses principally corn, some rye and some barley malt. Most of this grain, 'if not so used, would ordinarily be fed to animals. Normally, we use about 2 per cent of the total corn crop. It was estimated by die President's Food Committee that the 60-day shut down would save approximately ten million bushels of grain, but actually little or nothing was saved because in the process of distilling we return to the farmer feeds for poultry, hogs, dairy cattle and beef cattle which in the opinion of experts have an equal or greater feeding value than the grain we used. We take out only the starch. We save all the protein and oil and add yeast. The resulting products are rich in protein, vitamins, amino acids and other feed values. We are convinced that the final result is this if a farmer has ten bushels of grain and sells us two bushels for distilling, and then feeds the eight bushels which he kept and the residue which we return to him, he will get as much added weight in feeding his animals as he would have achieved if he had fed them the original ten bushels. We think fie actually geit mere. Suffice it to say that the benefits of a balanced diet have been proved over and over again for both animals and human beings. Our own Department of Agriculture, in numerous bulletins, has published many formulas for the use of distillers feeds to balance animal diets. We admit, frankly, that the exact percentage of feeding value which we return to the economy is debatable. You may think that instead of being more, it is even as much as fifty per cent less. Let's assume that you sincerely believe that the Luckman plan saved five million bushels of corn, or less than one tenth of one per cent of the total grain available. But H wasn't torn the government wanted to ship abroad. It was wheat. We knew that our feeds would add weight to cattle, but the government apparently was not interested in getting more meat. Now the Secretary of Agriculture tells the country that we are faced with a terrible meat shortage. It does get a little confusing, doesn't it, gentlemen? In addition, we think they lost more wheat than they thought they saved. . .When the farmer doesn't get our feed do you honestly believe he is going to let his poultry and hogs and cattle starve? And maybe this particular farmer hasn't any corn. Maybe he has wheat. So he feeds the wheat to the chickens and hogs and cattle and it was wheat that we wanted in the first place to ship to Europe. ' The government of every country in the world, except our own, has adopted the principle that distilling takes nothing away from the food economy. This is proved by the fact that none of these governments have shut down their distilleries. Surely they are not purposely taking food out of the mouths of starving people. ' ' England is running at capacity; Canada is running at capacity; eleven countries which have submitted their needs under the Marshall plan, have asked for grain for distilling and brewing. Even assuming that the shutdown saved a few million dollars worth of corn, let's see what it cost: It completely dislocated an industry which pays to the Federal and State governments more than two and one-half billion dollars a year in taxes. It threw thousands of American workers out of work. We know because we alone kept more than one thousand on full pay. It increased the price of the neutral grain spirits now in storage in the United States more than 150 per cent. It opened the door wide for foreign distillers and foreign workers to take over the business of American distillers and the jobs of American workers. ' We admit that these are strong statements, but we will prove every one of them right up to the hilt. There is one other fact that ought to be clarified. The public was told that the stocks of whiskey in the U. S. were adequate that we have over 550 million gallons of whiskey. What we have, actually, is about 65 million gallons of whiskey in this country which is four years old or . older. This is about one year's supply. The rest is green whiskey not yet fit to drink. (Government figures show what is put away not what is there after evapo ration and outage.) This is less aged whiskey per capita than in any distilling country on the whole face of the globe. Now you may well ask us why we agreed voluntarily to shut down when we knew all of these facts and had communicated them to the Luckman committee. We assented because we were conscious of an obligation to the American people, who decided in 1933 that they would prefer to have a sound distill ing industry with employment and taxes and government regulation instead of bootleggers, gunmen and rot-gut. They put that in our Constitution. So, when the call came to help hungry people, we wanted to contribute our share, heaped up and running over. We knew no grain would be saved, but when we were told that a great sacrifice on our part would be a tremen dous psychological contribution for the purpose of securing assent from others to make comparable sacrifices, we agreed. No other American industry was asked to make any comparable sacrifice. No other country asked its distillers to make any sacrifice. We think it is time for a little common sense. We think this whole question of the shutdown of distillers and the allocation of grain for restriction of production should be investigated by the Congress of the United States. Not in an hour, not in a day but in a full dress hearing with opportunity for all to be heard. Not just distillers, but the communities that are being ruined, the workers who are being thrown out of work and the farmers who have an interest in the feeding of their stock and the disposition of their products. We believe that the public interest would be best served by full disclosure of all the facts in the full light of day. Schenley Distillers Corporation WILLETT'S CAPITAL DRUG 405 STATE ST. STORE
