Officials Say They Can't Compete
With Foreign Boats Unless
They Can Handle Liquor.
PR0HIBS OPPOSE MOVE
Shipping Interests Tell Congress That
Death knell Of ii,e Merchant Ma.
rine Was Sounded II Present
Conditions Stand.

Washington - American passenger
steamship officials, appealing to the
House judiciary committee for mt d.
fication of the Volstead act, declared
they would be unable to compete with
ships Of foreign registry for the trade
of the world unless permitted to
handle liquor for use by, patrons
beyond the three-mile American limit
Wayne Wheeler, general counsel for
the Anti-Saloon league, in opposing
any let-down in the present law, ex-
pressed the opinion that some day the
world would be dry and that the ships
of all nations would sail over the
seven seas without a drop of liquor
aboard.
The shipping interests insisted, how.
ever, that they had to deal with pre-.
sent day problems, That there had been
wholesale cancellations of reservations
on American ships to travellers who
found other vessles unaffected by pro.
hibition restrictions, and that the task
of trying to make the American flag
supreme on the seas could not be car.
ried on in competition with other ma.
tions, free of all legislative handicaps.
Means Death Of Merchant Marine.
P. A. S. Franklin, president of the
International Mercantile Marine
warned the committee that the death
knell of, the merchant marine was
sounded if the ruling by Attorney Gen
eral Palmer that American ships could
not sell liquor were permitted to
stand. Speaking, as he said, in all seri
BUSINESS, E. A. Quarles, president OF
the United States Mail Steamship com
pany, declared owners would be eft
subjects for examination in a psyche
pathic ward If they invested any vast
sum in the building and conditioning OF
ships without assurances that they
would be allowed to compete on equal
terms with the countries endeavoring
now to dominate ocean commerce.
Representatives of other lines said all
they could hope to obtain was the over
flow Of travel.
Construction Held Up.
Harris Livsrmore, president of the
United American Line, told the com.
mittee that construction of many trans
Atlantic vessels had been contemplat.
ed, but that with this hanging over
us we cannot go ahead until the ques.
tion is determined"
Mr.. Wheeler alone was heard in op
position to the plea of the steamship
folk, made at hearing of a bill by
Representative Edmonds' Of Pennsyl-
vania, ranking Republican member OF
the merchant marine committee, to
exempt passenger vessels engaged In
foreign trade from provisions Of the
Volstead law. Asserting that many
ships now are "bootlegging" Mr.
Wheeler said the amendment would
multiply the difficulty of the dry law
enforcement, and chat it would be a
bad precedent to rush to the relief of
everybody whose business was dam.
