FOREIGN SHIPS DRY
LAW V|0LAT0RS
Attorney General Doubts Right
to Bring "Sea Stores" to
United States
SEIZURE MAY BE ORDERED

Washington, July s. - Troublesome
questions involving the right of for
eign ships to bring ''sea stores"
Of alcoholic beverages to the United
States continue to arise to nlague
Attorney General Daugherty. Coinci-
dent with the announcement OF the
Treasury Department yesterday that
all liquor which had not cleared n
foreign port July would be refused
transit privileges for shipment through
the United States was the statement
of Treasury officials that Mr.. Daugh-
erty's latest ruling was in direct con-
tict with previous decisions of the De-
partment of Justice and would need
further explanation.
Mr.. Daugherty's ruling in effect was
that possession of liquor within the
three mile limit was in itself violation
of the Volstead law and made the pos
SCISSORS thereof liable to prosecution.
Strict adherence to Mr.. Daugherty's
latest ruling would undoubtedly involve
the United States in serious differences
with foreign governments, especially il
effort should be made to seize either
sea stores Of liquor or the ships them
selves for violation of the prohibition
law.
One difficulty which the prohibition
lists encounter Is of their own making.
They obtained the ruling from the De-
partment of Justice early in the days of
Eolstcadism that American ships were
Just as much American territory az
United States soil. The decision can,
of course, work in the reverse fashion,
and foreign Governments undoubtedly
will contend that their ships are foreign
soil and not subject to Upited States
laws

LLOYD GEORGE HOPEFUL
By the Associated Press

London. July S.-Great Britain, il
was stated here today in q quarter
usually possessed Of reliable informa :
ticn, Is believed to have made
overtures to the United States, Japan
and China on the possibility of con
ference TO discuss the whole Eastern
situation.
If this Is correct, 1t Is pointed out, 1t
might explain what Mr.. Lloyd George.
the Prime Minister. meant yesterday
when he stated in the House Of Com
mons that he was awaiting replies from
America and China before making a
statement to the House concerning the
Anglo Japanese treaty.
Oficial circles declined to comment
on the nature Of any communications
with the United States. China or
Japan. but it was said in those circles
Il would be reasonable to assume that
these countries would be fully sounded
before Great Britain would show her
hand.

George said he was fairly hopeful of
being in position 10 make. This
statement is said to b. "a very COM
prehensive one.
Canada Prompted Proposal
In view Of the Prime Minister :
statement, there now can be no harm
in stating that the original proposal
for such conference came from the
Canadian Government early in Febru
ary last. 1t was then suggested that
the Dominion Government. through the
Department of External Affairs. be
empowered to consult with Washing
ton on the possibility Of a Pacific con-
ference.
The proposal does not appear to have
been accepted at the time, the reason
being, II is understood. that there was
some difficulty in getting the Pacific
dominions to decide upon what ought
to be done. although it was evident
from the first that the British Govern
nent was favorable to such step.
However, the idea steadily grew. and
when at tie beginning Of the conference

In 30 for as the United Stqtcs is con-
