IN ThNCLE over
DRY ENFORCEMENT
President Harding Probably viii
Be Called on to Set Depart
mental Conflict at Rest.
BEER DECISION IS LATEST
Two Rulings by Woman Aid of
Palmer Cause Clash With Other
OfficiaIs-kramer and Reform
Agencies Denounce 1t.

| Washington. - President Harding
probably will be called upon to iron
out entanglements and conflicts be
setting prohibition enforcement in the
United States The Treasury Depart
ment and the Department of Justip
are clearly at odds through the activl-
ty of the Democratic hOldovers
The latest fare up, the opinion by
Attorney General Palmer saying ply
siclans may prescribe beer or any
liquor for patients and that the pro
hibition Office cannot limit them, has
brought crisis that makes necessary
a general review and coordination of
the work.
Two branches of the treasury are
at sea over two opinions on enforce
lnent from the Department of Justice.
Both opinions We're prepared by An
nette Abbott Adams, assistant attor.
ney general The first held that no
ship could touch at a United States
port with any liquor on board, wheth-
British government protested because
of its effect upon passenger liners
flying foreign flags, and the matter
was taken up by the State >Depart-
ment. The treasury could not carry
out the opinion without international
complications. A review was re-
quested.
The latest opinion, that affecting
beer and prescriptions, has stood the
entire prohibition unit on end. Pro
hibition Commissioner Kramer de-
clares it will wreck the progress so far
made in enforcement.
To straighten matters, Secretary
Mellon of the treasury is expected TO
request the President to direct gen
eral review and Interpretation of the
law by the new attorney general. i
1t was stated at the White House
that the matter had not been formally
brought to the attention of President
Harding. When it is, it is likely that
the conflict between agencies will be
out.
Under the Volstead act both the De-
partment of Justice and Treausy are |

Attorney General Daugherty said he

within Il few days. He said he would

Three WILL Guide
FOREIGN POLICIES
Harding, Hughes and Lodge to
Work in Conjunction
With the Senate.
AID FROM ELIHU ROOT
Allied Nations Still in Dark Over
Course to Be Pursued in America.
Ambassadors at Washington
TO Figure More in Affairs.

WashingtOn.-The allied nations are
being kept in complete suspense, re-
garding the nature of the foreign pol
icy Of the new administration accord
ing TO information coming from dlplo-
matte sources.
The Harding administration is not
disclosing its hand and probably will
. not do so until it has completely
formulated the policy it will pursue
Meantime efforts of foreign diplomats
are being conferred on the task of keep
ing their governments advised of what
going on in the minds of President
latrding, Secretary of State Hughes
and Chairman Lodge of the Foreign
Relations Committee of the Senate, all
of whom. are working in complete har-
mOny.
Up to this. time the most astute
diplomats have been unable to break
down the barrier of reserve which the
administration is maintaining.
This attitude is natural European
affairs are in a mobile state, bringing
about new situations daily and threat
ening still newer ones. The American
policy will be predicated on whatever
degree of stability,will result or upon
the conclusion that no stability can re-
suit until America has readjusted her
relations with Europe
Meantime the leaders of administra-
ton thought on foreign affairs are
formulating their policy so that when
the time comes there will be something
concrete to offer
As the situation SINNERS two i'm
portant facts are beginning to stand
out; one is that a triumvirate will take
the lead in directing Americas for
eign policy, consisting of President !
Harding, Secretary of State Hughes
and Senator Lodge Under this adj |
ministration of cooperation there will |
be no attempt to outdistance or ignore |
the Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee. The senate will be recognized |
fully and completely as a coordinate
treaty making power, and, since it is
TO pass on any treaties negotiated, it )
will be associated in the negotiations !
with the President.
Senator Lodge already has conferred
several times with the President, see
ing the Executive as often perhaps as
the secretary af state. Other thinkers
and authorities on foreign policies will
be called upon TO advise with the ad-
leaders, but the initiation
and direction of the negotiations will
rest with the three men named. The
advice and possibly assistance of such
men as Elihu Root will be invited and
The other outstanding fact is that
negotiations with the foreign powers
will center at Washington. 1t is be-
ieved impracticable to deal with the
powers through the American !
Accordingly thu Harding
will seek to attain re-
suits. by dealing with the ambassadors
n foreign countries stationed here.
This decision will make Washington
the center Of international political
Information for the next year and
probably longer.
