Under the Panama Flag

The transfer to Panaman regis.
try of the Resolute and the Re-
lance, of the United American
Lines, is the first sign of the In
evitable movement resulting from
the recent decision to enforce the
Volstead law on American ships.
The question is one of economics,
not ethics. There is no denying that
most Americans are unwilling, and
most foreigners simply refuse, to
be deprived of the right to take an
occasional drink while on the ocean.
This is especially true on long
cruises, such as the Resolute and
the Reliance are booked to make.
More than fifty passages were
cancelled on the Resolute alone for
a cruise around the world when
the Attorney Generals ruling was
made known.
The position of the operators is
that unless passengers can be Of
fered the same services and privi-
leges on American as on foreign
vessels Americans cannot compete
successfully. Prohibition, coming on
top of the other laws handicapping
American shipping, is the last
straw.
Perhaps the election will cause
Congress to take heed of the neces-
sity of so modifying the Volstead
act that the American marine will
not be altogether dried off the ocean.
The nation cannot afford to lose the
shipping advantages that she won
as a result of the war, advantages
vital to the welfare of the country
alike in peace and war.
New-York tribune., 1922-11-10
To Punish Poisoners

The poison peddling bootlegger
may elude the prohibition officers,
but the Wisconsin Supreme Court
insists that he must pay for the
harm done to those who buy his
wares.
This court held that both exem-
plary and compensatory damages
may be assessed against saloon
keepers who sell intoxicating liquors
in violation Of the law. The sum of
$500 awarded to a woman whose
husband suffered severely because of
the illicit liquor he had purchased
and drunk was held not to be ex-
cessive.
In most states the only means to
punish a vender Of wood alcohol is
arrest and conviction under the Grim
inal statutes. Few such arrests
have been made because of the diff
Guilty in catching the bootleggers.
But civil law may succeed in Wis
consin where criminal law has failed
jim New York. Any means Of ending
the sale of poisonous liquor which
proves effective will be widely well
coined in this country.
