II congress adds an amendment
in a subsidy to compensate Amer
lean owners for their loss the ad-
ministration has no objection to
making the ships dry. And If con-

into account losses to American
ships, then the question of arrang-
ing by treaty that foreign ships
shall not carry liquor to and from
American shores will arise. 1t is
doubtful whether foreign countries
will agree. Perhaps the whole mat
