THE rHREE-M1LE LIQUOR LINE

Fo:lowingeth decision of the Unit
ed States Shipping Board rot to at
tempt selling liquor on government
owned ships, the question has arisen
whether il. is permissible for private
owned ships to do So
There has been a common impress
sion that any American ship might le-
gany dispense liquor outside OF the
three-mile line thta bounds the terri
toriai jurisdiction of the United States.
The Internal Revenue Department has
seemed inclined to that view. Officers
of the Anti-saloon League, however.
maintain that the prohibition follows
the flag, and applies TO American
ships just as much as to American soil.
This view seems supported by the
fact thatsa ship registered in any
country is regarded by international
law as technically portion OF that
country's territory. It may we'll be
argued that if national sovereignty
! applies to ship on the high seas for
other purposes. it likewise applies for
the purpose Of prohibition enforce
ment. Phis is a question, however,
for the courts to decide, and they will
do so in due time.
Meanwhile, good many Americans
are hopefully contemplating tie pos
sibility of always being able to indulge
their bibulous propensities IN L sea
voyage. ofseven by the simple process
OF patroIlsfnsssta saloon-ship anchored
just outside OF the thrce-n1ile line.
