RULING BY PALMER
ALLOWED TO STAND
RECONSIDERATION WILL ONLY
COME WHEN REQUESTED BY
TREASURY DEPARTMENT. \
BEER BY CASE AsxfD|cINE
Whole Enforcsvfent Theory is Over
thrown Upder Which Revenue 5u-
reap Has Been Operated.

washington.-Th recent ruling of
former Attorney General Palmer per-
hitting the practically unlimited
manufacture of beer, wines and whis-
key for medicinal purposes will stand,
Solicitor General Frierson said, de-
spite a number of protests, unless the
treasury department should ask for
its reconsideration. Such a request
is not under contemplation, 1t was
said later at the treasury
Under this most recent interpre-
tation of the prohibition law, officials
declared 1t would appear that pa
tient for whom beer was prescribed
would be able to obtain 1t by the case
as II would probably be ordered as
a tonic and 1t would appear unrea.
sonable to require a person to pro
cure only one or two bottles.
Study of the new ruling, officials
said has disclosed that the whole
theory Of prohibition enforcement on
which the internal revenue bureau has
been proceeding has been over
thrown, The prohibition unit, Off
cials explained, has worked on the
theory that 1t possessed regulatory
powers under the act which permits
It to limit the use and distribution of
intoxicants excepted by Congress
from the genral ban.

AMERICAN TROOPS

STEPS FOR REMOVAL JUST

HUNS MIGHT M|sCONSTRuE
The Harding Policy is That Nothing
be Done to Asgravate the Situa-
ton With Allies or Germany.

Observation-Disclosures troops will
remain on the Rhine at least until the
present emergency arising out of Ger.
many's refusal to accept the repara'
ton proposal Of the allies is cleared
The first act of the Harding admin
istration toward Europe, is to be sure,
a passive policy but it is not without
significance. Mr.. Harding had an
announced during the campaign that
American troops would be brought
back from the Rhine as quickly as
possible after his election. Arrange
ments had been made through the re-
publican leaders in congress who han
die appropriations to cause the with
drawal of the American contingent at
an early date. The sudden turn Of
events abroad has, however, made II
necessary to make temporary
change here, too,
The argument has been effectively
made that il the United States with
drew her troops at the very moment
when the allied forces were advanc.
ing It might be misconstrued by the
Germans as an act OF disapproval by
the United States of allied policy and
might stiffen the backs Of the Ger.
mans
SO for the present 1t is the Harding
policy as communicated to the state
and war departments and concurred in
by Secretaries Hughes and Weeks
that nothing be done to aggravate the
situation abroad either with respect
to the allies or Germany and Ameri-
can troops therefore will sit tight and
maintain neutral attitude.
