Washington.—The treasury tossed
on the international doorstep its new
regulations carrying out the supreme
court decision barring all beverage
liquors from territorial waters of the
United States after 12:01 a. m., June
10. No loopholes have been left, ac
cording to a treasury spokesman, and
the court’s recent construction of the
dry law will be rigidly applied.
Having failed to find any way by
which conflict with foreign laws
could bo avoided, the treasury based
its new ship liquor rules on a literal
reading of the court’s opinion and pre
pared to let come what may. Its
only hope of alleviating a situation
which, most officials agree, will be
embarrassing to international com
merce, was said to lie In remedial
legislation from the next congress.
Except for the exemption granted
medicinal liquor, the usual immunity
accorded diplomats and the privilege
allowed foreign vessels of war, the
regulations permit of no Inbound pas-
nago of alcoholic beverages. Consid
eration is given, however, to ships
forced by the extremity of distress to
put into an American harbor. But
even such vessels, if they have liquor
aboard, must show that the necessity
was grave and “the proof must be
convincing” after which they will be
required to give bond for faithful ob
servance of the American dry law.
Concerning the hope among foreign
maritime powers of relief from what
Is regarded as one of the most drastic
Interpretations ever given by the su
preme court, some treasury officials
felt that congress might find a way of
curcumventing the import deadline.
Others were convinced that the barred
zone was due to remain until a change
was made in the eighteenth amend
ment.
In this connection it was pointed
out by the latter that the decision of
the supreme court was based funda
mentally on the sweeping provisions
of the amendment rather than on the
enforcement act and that the court
held, regardless of whether liquor for
boverago uses were being Imported,
its being carried for any such pur
pose within the three-mile limit con
stituted transportation which is specif
ically forbidden by the amendment.
Legislation to relieve the situation
from the foreign viewpoint, It was con
tended, could scarcely be other than
in contravention of the constitution
and therefore invalid.

Comments Vary On N. Y. Dry Repeal
Washington.—Most congressmen re
fuse to discuss the action or Governor
Smith of New York in approving the
repeal of the state prohibition law. A
few, however, commented, Senator
Shields, Democrat, of Tennessee, au
thorizing the following statement:
“There is no question but what the
state of Now York has the right to en
act or repeal any of its statutes in
its discretion which do not violate the
Constitution of the United States and
do It without consulting the president
or any other federal authority.”
