Jan. 2.—(AP)—The ex haustion of some liquor quotas for the United States centered the at tention of European nations anew to day upon the American liquor mar ket. The size of liauor quotas is of as much interest to many European gov evrnments as were immigration quotas a few years ago. European governments have one thing in common in liquor control — they exact huge sums annually for the state. The methods are almost as various as the nations, ranging from Russia, where the manufacture and sale Is liquor is concentrated entirely in the hands of the state., to Bel gium; where the state sells no liquor but capitalizes on high excise taxes. Britain has a combination of the two systems, for, while she extracts heavy revenues from licenses for pro ducers and dealers, and from excise and customs duties, she has a small experiment in state purchase and • (Continued on Page Two.)

O. P. Lines; Western Group Appears in Saddle Washington, Jan. 2 (AP)— Pledges of support for Rooseveltian policies sounded a heavy overtone in both wings of the Capitol on today’s eve of the regular sitting of the 73rd Con gress—a session nevertheless packing some hint oi fireworks before its end. Hot debate, in fact, may not be long delayed. Free silver coinage ad vocates, hoping to make bi-matealism a major issue, today hinted they might thrust their question forward immediately should there be any lull in the starting of the legislative mac hinery. 4 Congressional eyes thus turned of ten toward the White House, where the President polished his legislat ive requests. Leaders conceded his wishes would shape the lines of the coming session. He apparently was assured, following a three-hour White Hause meeting last night, of full Dem ocratic support for a series of budget recommendations that may contain some surprises. Meanwhile, Republican leaders, who say they intend to withhold any im mediate concentrated party attack upon the president's program, set about a rebuilding of the G. O. P. lines. Senator McNairy, of Oregon, Sen ate Republican leader, last night an nounced a significant move in this direction. He named a committee of nine to look toward next fall’s cam paigns, balancing the membership be tween the conservative and sive factions, but with six westerners to only three men from the east. Pointedly he said there would be "no discrimination” in defining the word “Republicanism.” None named, however, were members of the Old Guard. Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, the Democratic leader, told newsmen after convassing the entire legislative outlook with his Democratic steering committee, that Mr. Roosevelt’s po licies would be upheld, including his monetary program. Regulating Os Liquor First Job Senate Business Is Mapped Out By Committee; M o r £ Power for President Washington, Jan. 2.—(AP) — The Senate Democratic policy committee today made the Senate’s first order of business the liquor tax and District of Columbia liquor regulation bills, and predicted the granting of power to the President to make reciprocal tariff treaties without Senate ratifica tion. "Announcing the result of the first meeting, Senator Robinson, the ma jority leader, said the administration bill to permit the President to ap point a governor for Hawaii from the mainland would be abandoned. Robinson indicated the tariff pro posal would receive consideration probably after the two liquor bills are out of the way. The House will take up all three of these measures first.
