The TTWMB took out an ad in the Central Daily News stating that sales of rice wine had increased by 28.2 % over the previous year, and that to meet market demand and put people's fears to rest, monthly production would be increased by 200,000 cases.
當時公賣局還特地在中央日報上刊登聲明，表示當年米酒的實際銷售量較前一年增加了百分之二十八・二，為了配合市場需要，往後將逐月增產二十萬打，以安民心。
