ready for issuance for several days.
In formulating the regulations the
treasury Department has the assist
anes Of officials of the Department of
State on International aspects of the
order and from the War Department,
which controls the Panama Canal and
iasular possessions.
One high official Of the War Depart
+ ment to-day indicated that the regula-
tons would be so framed as not to
.ynpose impossible restrictions on for
elm tonnage touching insular possess
siSns Of this country and passing
through the Panama Canal. This off,
eial pointed out that the most pro-
nornced advocate of the prohibition law
could not expect the government to
interfere with the transit of liquor
eareoes in foreign bottoms destined to
remote corner of the world, which
necessarily had to be transported
across American insular territory for
portion Of the way. He said that it
would be ridiculous for the regulations
to attempt 10 interfere with legitimate
esrgoes from foreign ships, provided it
va clesr that transportation through
American territory was necessary and
taat proper guarantees could be fur
niEhed that the cargoes would continue
ittransit through such territory to it's
EAtinaton.
