publication of the letter of Mr.. Busch
to the President and his charges that
liquor is being sold on the Shipping
Board vessels came as painful sur
prise to many dry" members OF
Congress. Probably not more than
five or six members of the Senate
knew that the Shipping Board ves-
sells were selling liquor beyond the
three-mile limit. This is the guess
of one Senator-who is liberal III

the present administration came into
power the Congress has been kept
almost continuously on the job in
Washington. Senators and repre-
sentatives have had little time to
travel to Europe, and those who went

The opinion of members of Con-

may be. But If the prohibition act

probability, the law will have to be

sary to amend the national prohibit

showing that the prohibition forces
had not lost their hold in the ma
tional Legislature by any means.
Chairman Lasker of the Shipping
Board has charged that Mr.. Busch
was actuated. in raising the question
of the sale of liquor on board Ship
ping Board vessels. not by any desire
to support the Constitution. but by
a desire to hurt the American mer-
chant marine, hoping to drive fast
American passenger vessels from the
seas. so that those of Germany might
take their place Not unnaturally Mr..
Busch is denying this. But whatever
the motive behind Mr.. Busch a"-
ton, the explosion came at time
when Congress, with the President
insisting upon favorable action, was
about to take up for consideration
the merchant marine bill. designed to
aid American shipping through gov
ernmental subsidies.

government and operated under the
United States Shipping Board, when
those vessels are on the nigh seas?
There is involved in the controversy
which has been precipitated by Adolphus
Busch. Sd. in his letter to the President
regarding the practice of selling liquor
on Shipping Board vessels outside the
three-mile limit. another question. Does
the national prohibition act-the Vol
stead aCt-apply to all vessels flying
the American flag on the high seas? The
second is the question which must be
determined in all probability, to lay the
controversy now waging.
No Punishment Provided
In the Constitution.
1t is pointed out. for example, by
United States senator learned in con-
't.tutional law that the prohibition
amendment to the Constitution pro
l'hitS'' the sale. manufacture, etc. of
ir'tuXicating beverages. OF itself. the
Institutional amendment does not pun
iSh violations of this prohibition. Con-
GreSs was compelled to enact the Vol
stead law to make the constitutional
amendment practically effective.
Does the Nostead act apply to ves-
sels flying the American flag on the high
Seas? On its face it does not There is
no mention of vessels on the high seas
In the statute, it is pointed out. Further
more. there is some doubt as to whether
general laws of the United States apply
on vessels on the high seas flying the
American flag. For instance. special
laws have been enacted by Congress
covering the case of murder on an
American vessel on the high seas. which
would imply. it is said. that the general
laws of the country relating to murder
do not apply on an American vessel
outside the three-mile limit
Constitution Does Not
Always Follow Flag.
Incidentally, it will be recalled that
the Supreme Court ruled tnat the Con-
stitution does not always follow the flag
in the case of the Filipinos-that mere
ly because the American flag was raised
over the islands. the Filipinos-did not
become American citizens.
But. generally speaking, it has been
held that an American vessel where
ever it may be. flying the American
fag is part of American territory.
and American rule prevails on such
vessels.
There is no doubt but what the

Wan delegates have handed their pa

the frail craft which has carried them
thus far and bring it safely to the

To all intents and purposes the
Chilean-Peruvian conference over the
unfulfilled provisions of the Ancon
treaty has ended. The matter rests
now in the hands of Secretary OF
State Hughes. a man who possesses
the clear, understanding vision and
the diplomatic skill necessary to iron
out the few remaining obstacles
which stand in the way of achieving
the end toward which the conference
was launched. That he will be sue

Existing Deadlock

Not Unbreaknble.
1t is very easy to understand the
inability of the delegates themselves
to agree on a question for arbitra-
ton Two men who have inherited
opposing views on a subject, who
grow up believing their side is the
only right side and who are familiar
from birth with the pros and cons of
the question at issue, lack the per-
spective held by a third person who
views the difficulty calmly and un-
emotionally. free from the bother
some side issues which serve only to
complicate the problem. This is true
of Chile and Peru, whose delegates
represent their thought and senti-
ment. 1t is doubtful that if during
the course of the whole conference
here either side has advanced argu-
ments which differ materially from
those put forward during the last
thirty-eight years, since the trouble
over Tacna and africa and other pro-
visions of the Ancon treaty started.
But by dint of sacrifices on both
sides and a determination to succeed
the disagreements over what can be
submitted to arbitration have narrowed
themselves down to a point where their
ultimate merger can be brought
about by a third person. This has
been recognized by the delegates in
selecting Secretary Hughes to cut
the Gordian knot which holds them in
deadlock.
Statesmen Cater
To Public Sentiment.
At times during the last five weeks
of conference the proceedings have
been enveloped in such a cloud of
pessimism and doubt that predictions
were freely made that the failures of
thirty-eight years would be repeated
in Washington. These conjectures
were born many times of dispatches
from either Peru or Chile quoting
some official of the home government,
reiterating his country's position and
unwillingness to depart from a stand
diametrically opposed to what the
conference must eventually do to sue
ceed. But it should be remembered
that statements of this kind have
been mainly for home consump-
ton" Chilean and Peruvian states
men like to reassure their people that
nothing is to be surrendered, nothing
to be given up. And in this manner
they have kept alive the public senti-
ment which is necessary to make the
final agreement popular

at no time during the conference has
there been serious danger of its fail
