French labor circles are concerned be
cause the French law provides that
sailors must be given wine daily. All
American vessels, notified by wireless
at once sealed their liquor supplies and
are turning them over to the authori-
ties on reaching port. Many foreign
vessels sailed with their usual supplies
of booze, in order to bring about test
cases, and the Cunard and Anchor
Steamship companies began proceed
ings in the United States district
court In New York to restrain govern
ment officials from Selling their ships
or the liquor aboard them. These
companies attack the legality of the
Daugherty order on the ground that it
is in contfavention of the general com,
mercial treaty of 1915 and misinter-
probation of the Volstead act
The International Mercantile Marine
corporation obtained from Federal
Judge Hand temporary restraining
order enjoining New York officials
from molesting the liquor on the steam
ers Finland and ST. Paul.
The American Steamship Owners
association decided to abide peacefully
by the ruling provided the prohibition
lists will reciprOcate by giving their
support to the ship subsidy bill. 1t
cannot be denied that the attorney
generals decision met with general ap-
prevail throughout at least the Middle
West and South, and it is believed it's
effect will be greatly to improve the
chances of the ship subsidy measure
when it comes up for passage in con-
gress.
REAT BRITAIN, through Ambas-
~ sadOr Geddes, has just paid to
the United States $5O,OOO,OOO, which
is approximately the amount of this
years interest on the British debt, to
America. Sir Robert Horne, who Is
coming>to help adjust the terms of the
debt, is delayed by the unsettled state
of foreign and domestic policies and
may not arrive before the end of the
month.
1t is stated in Paris that France will
not be able to pay any part of her
debts for four years, since all receipts
for that period must be devoted to re-
construction of the devastated regions.
When the interallied financial congress
meets in Brussels the French govern
ment will probably submit plan
drawn up by Premier Poincare. 1t
calls for a revision of Germany's in
debtedness on basis of actual rep
arations only, wiping out all charges
for pensions, war allowances and the
like. Frances claim would thus be
reduced by almost % per cent.
THE Irish hierarchy last week de-
L livered shrewd blow at the rebel
lious Republicans in the form of pas
tOral letter strongly condemning guer-
rilla warfare against the Free State
government and declaring "the killing
Of National soldiers is murder before
God"
Japan notified Washington last
y week that the official documents Of
of the Washington treaties
were on the way and that her en-
bassy had been given full power to
exchange notifications. This was most
gratifying to the administration, which
is beginning to get bit annoyed by
Frances long delay in ratifying the
pacts. Paris dispatches say action by
the French parliament is not likely
during the Forthcoming session be-
cause of the great number Of domestic
issues and the Near East affairs.
