 At the same time the British for. eign office assured the American gov. ernment that every precaution would be taken to prevent violation of the American prohibition law by rum smugglers under the British flag. I, was said that Canadian and other port officials had been instructed to pre-. vent so far as possible the issuance of fraudulent clearance papers and oth- CT improper practices complained of in Secretary Hughes prohibition note
 The British communication in reply to the one sent to London by the state department several weeks ago was presented to Secretary Hughe. by the British ambassador Sir Auck- land Geddes today.
 Officials Are Silent
 Although department officials would not discuss the subject there were in dications that the refusal to accord reciprocal right of search outside the usual limits of territorial waters would be considered as finally block ing any extension of such authority to prohibition officers.
 Orders are already in effect direct ing the prohibition navy not to oper- ate outside the three mile limit line except in the case of vessels in com munication with the shore by means of their own small boats and it has been the apparent belief of admins tration officials that no extension would be in accordance with interna- tional practices unless it were made SC by some such specific agreement as proposed by Mr. Hughes.
