A. B. C. Board lo Send
Suggested Revisions
To Mason Soon
Commissioner Indicates
Careful Study Will
Precede Recommendations
Members of the Beverage Control
Board have completed the draft of
proposed revisions of the liquor
regulations and shortly will file
them with Commissioner Guy
Mason, who plans to make recom
mendations to the Board of Com
missioners.
Recently, when some members of
the House had suggested an investi
gation of the A. B. C. Board and the
District liquor control system. Com
missioner Mason countered with a
declaration weaknesses in the situa
tion could be corrected by a revision
©f the liquor regulations.
One of the principal issues has
been how to prevent “cut-throat”
competition without adopting meas
ures placing unreasonable restric
tions on certain groups in the liquor
trade. Commissioner Mason has
said something should be done to
prevent rebates or the like in whole
sale operations, which give ad
vantages to some dealers as against
others.
The A. B. C. Board has not re
vealed the substance of its impend
ing report. Commissioner Mason
has indicated he wished to study
the issues carefully before sub
mitting recommendations to the
Board of Commissioners.
Typing of the report probably will
fre finished within a day or two,
although the A. B. C. Board is now
handicapped by lack of help, said
Thomas E. Lodge, the board chair
man.
Steps Taken to Bolster
Hew Zealand Air Force
By the Associated Press.
CHRISTCHURCH. New Zealand.
March 19.—Very substantial meas
ures for reinforcing New Zealand
with both United States and Brit
ish air forces and equipment are in
progress. Defense Minister F. Jones
announced last night.
The empire air training organi
sation in New Zealand also is pro
viding a much larger contribution
to new air defense requirements, he
staid. New Zealanders with war ex
perience elsewhere are returning to
the homeland in the current R. N.
Z. A. F. expansion.
Mr. Jones said New Zealand had
consistently urged a supreme com
mand in the Pacific war area, and
“the appointment of Gen. Mac
Arthur indicates acceptance of the
principle, either in whole or in
part.’’

Canada Facing Losses
Of U. S. Money Reserves
By the Associated Press.
OTTAWA, Ontario, March 19 —
Canada is faced with a further sub
stantial loss of reserves of United
States currency this year unless
remedial action is taken, Finance
Minister J. L. Ilsley told the House
of Commons yesterday as he moved
for introduction of a bill to authorize
a $1,000,000,000 gift of food, muni
tions and war supplies to Great
Britain.
The Minister said that despite the
Hyde Park s.greement of last April
Canadian reserves of gold and
United States currency fell by $142.
000,000 in 1941. This was due to
heavy purchases in the United
States. (Under the Hyde Park
agreement the United States under
took to make large purchases in
order to help balance trade between
the two countries.)

Torpedoing Impels Uruguay
To Hold Her Ships in Port
By the Associated Press.
MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, March
19—As a result of the torpedoing of
the freighter Montevideo, termed
by Foreign Minister Alberto Guanl a
"flagrant and brutal” violation of
international law, the government
has decided to hold all Uruguayan
ships in port pending arrangements
for them to travel In convoy.
On receipt of details of the attack
from the ship’s captain, Uruguay
formally laid the blame on the Axis
and in a note to the Argentine
Foreign Office said she would seek
redress through the Pan-American
Union.
The situation created by the sink
ing, which has stirred violent antl
Axis demonstrations liere, still was
under discussion, however, by the
cabinet, which held a prolonged
emergency session last night to
hear a report filed by Capt.
Rodriguez Varela, master of the
Montevideo. *
Varela sent his report from Port
au Prince, Haiti, where he was
landed with 30 survivors of the crew
of 49.
Students left their classes again
yesterday to parade through the
streets in new protests against the
sinking, and police redoubled guards
in front of German places of busi
ness.
Convoys Cause Shortage
Calling of convoys has caused a
shortage of fish at Durban, a port
city of South Africa, and fish are
being rationed there.
