IS ONE WET SPOT
Virgin Isles Belong to United
States But Under Old Laws.
Prohibition Not in Force Until
Congress Acts.

San Juan, P. r., Aug. 16.-Probabiy
the only place under the American
flag where prohibition is not now in
force is in the Virgin Islands where,
until congress enacts new laws, the
old Danish laws remain in force.
The colonial council of St Croix has
just passed a bill repeating former To-
cal legislation for that island which
provided for local prohibition until a
specified period after the ending of
the war. Similar legislation is pend
ing in the colonial council for the is
lands of St. Thomas and st. John.
The treaty of sale by which the is
lands were transferred from Denmark
to the United States provided that
laws in force at the time of the trans
fer should remain in full force and
effect until congress enacted special
legislation for the islands. This has
not yet been done. In the meantime
the constitution of the United states,
in all of its provisions, is not applica-
Bile to the islands and the eighteenth
amendment has no meaning there.
As war messure the colonial coun-
ellis, the law-nnaking bodies, passed
prohibition acts ter be enforced during
the war. AS a result St. Thomas,
where champagne sold for a dollar
bottle and other liquors were equally
inexpensive, and the two other islands
gradually became dry. Merchants in
st. Thomas whose business is largely
that of supplying ships stores have
contended that prohibition was one of
their greatest handicaps while the
sugar makers in st. CFoix were de-
prived of a lucrative trade in an i'm
portant by-product of sugar when
they were forced to cease making rum.
With war prohibition removed by To-
cal legislation, m-making has al
ready been resumed.
Indirectly, however. the Virgin Is
lands are feeling the force of the
United States prohibition laws. Pro-
hibition Director Donaldson has re-
fused to permit the shipment of alco-
hol to st. THOMAS from here to be used
in the manufacture of bay rum unless
manufacturers bind themselves to de-
nature their product SO that it cannot
be used for beverage purposes. The
manufacture of bay rum is one of the
chief industries of st. Themas and st.
