“It Takes Both”
“ Judtre, I didn’t realize till the otf)rtupght
v.-iien 1 ran across an article in the p^)er
what a whale of a lot of industrial alcohol
the government needs for the war.”
‘‘1 should say it does, Chet. I understand
the beverage distillers around the country are
producing about 240,000,000 gallons of indus
trial alcbhol this year for ammunition, tires,
and other things. I’d say it’s mighty fortunate
these distilleries are available to do the job.
Otherwise, if we still had prohibition, the
government would have had to spend mil
lions of dollars and use up a lot of critical
materials J o build plants... to say nothing of
all the time it would take. It might have been
just another case of ‘too little, too late’.’*
