The MeddLea
''If the coat hts you. put it on"

With the activities of automobile
cleanup week" The Neddler is in a
general way thoroughly sympathetic.
For some time there has been need of a
check-up of automobile drivers, as there
always will be at regular intervals, and
the work of the state traffic men can
not help but make for greater safety on
the highways. 1t is somewhat of a
question, however, just how much is to
| be gained from arrests for speeding on
stretch of highway like Putney road,
where conditions are such that if it is
ever safe to make time there is the place.
| The Meddler does not wish to be ac-
cused of assuming the speed maniac
viewpoint. but he is willing to take the
affirmative side of the argument that
/ there are many more serious infractions
of the law than driving a car 30 or 40
miles an hour along road as straight
/ and wide as that above mentioned. The
most dangerous drivers are not always
those who drive the fastest. Unfamiliar
/ ity with or contempt for fundamental
/ traffic rules constitutes a far greater
menace. The man who carelessly takes
curve on the wrong side of the road,
/ even if he is jogging along at 10 or ID
miles an hour is much more likely to
be the cause of an accident than he who
drives faster but keeps his car where it
! belongs In cities, where the volume of
traffic is such that speed is absolutely
essential to handling it properly. the
person due for the worst balling out is
he who doesn't keep up with the pro
cesSion.
For these and other equally good rea-
sons, therefore. The Meddler hopes that
Brattleboro's new motorcycle cop will
be instructed to devote his time to
something besides violations of the speed
law, although within congested areas
these need their share of attention.

termination Of the application d
entering American ports, was fore
seen by both Attorney General
| Daugherty and Chairman Laskcr OF
the Shipping Board. Mr.. Daugherty
said he already had been advised
that a case was about to be filed
which would bring the issue to the
! Supreme Court
Chairman Lasker was Of the opin-
| ion that the first move of foreign
lines would be to seek an injunctic n
| restraining the government from en-
forcing the law. He said it was reas-
enable to suppose that the courts
would grant such an injunction with
result that foreign ships would
continue to arrive with liquor on
board until there was final decision
by the highest court. The attorney
general said his department would
cooperate in every effort to expedite
ruling by the Supreme Court
Publication of the opinion of tie
Department of Justice followed a
White House conference to which
President Harding summoned Mr.
Daugherty. Secretaries Hughes and
Mellon and Chairman Lasker. Nari-
Gus phases Of the situation were dis
cussed- including the possible results
OF enforcement upon the internation-
al relations of the United States.
High administration officials ex-
planned that there was no course for
the executive branch of the govern
ment except to enforce the law as
interpreted by the legal department.
The Interpretation was based upon
recent decisions of the Supreme
Court in case involving the author
ity of the United States to interfere
with the transfer of a liquor cargo
from one foreign ship to another in
an American port.
In divided opinion, the court con-
lilmed the authority of prohibition
agents to prevent such transfer
and, in the view of the attorney gen.
cral, went so far as to hold that the
eighteenth amendment and the Vol
stead act repealed prior existing
treaty with Great Britain.
Chairman Laskcr predicted that
enforcement Of the law would operate
to an immediate disadvantage of the
American merchant marine and
would make more necessary enact
ment of the ship subsidy bill. if tile
American flag was to stay on the
high seas. He believed the ruling
would have great influence in Con-
gless when the subsidy bill was taken
up.
An undoubted effect Of enforce
ment. Mr.. Lasker said. would be to
hamper the board in its efforts to
build up American shipping to the
Orient and South America. He ex-
pecteN Vancouver. B. c.. to profit at
the expense. particularly of Seattle
and Portland in the Oriental trade
and Montreal at the expense of New
York in the South American trade.

Also he looked for Montreal to gain
| over New York in the trans AtIanti,
tlades.
irrespective of the decision Of the
Supreme Court, the shipping Board
chairman said foreign ships would
nave an advantage over American
lines.
As an Illustration. he said that
even II the court should hold that
foreign ships might bring liquor into
American territorial waters they
could sell up to the three mile limit
on their inward voyage and dunn
overheard any remaining stocks. In
discussing the opinion, Mr. I.askcr
emphasized that he was viewing the
situation as it existed and that he
spoke neither as wet or as a dry"
Sale Of liquor on Shipping Board
vessels was based on an opinion of
the general counsel of the board who
held that ii did not contravene the
prohibition laws. Opening of the
ships bars was ordered on a vote of
the board with Commissioner Fred
erick I. Thompson casting the only
dissenting vote.
Orders for enforcement of prohbi-
ton laws. as construed byrMr. Daug-
herty, were issued by president
Harding late today. In a. letter to
Secretary Mellon, the president re-
qucsted that due notice be given to
the masters Of all privately owned
ships operating under the american
flag and that regulations for tho en-
forcemcnt as to foreign ships be for
mulated and that such notice be given
to the agents of foreign lines touch
ing American ports or docking there
