prohibition leaders in congress, will
have to decide ticklish point.
Law Fayors Ship Board.
The truth is that many of the
spokesman for the prohibition
movement concede that the ship
ping board has the law on its side
in the present controversy and that
an American ship outside the three
mile limit is not subject to the en-
forcement of The prohibition laws
or any other statutes of the United
States except those which apply to
the registry of ships, treatment OF
crews and other matters specifically
covered by statute.
This is moot point and there
has been a string of decisions on
it in the courts for the last cen
fury. The shipping board points
out that if an American ship is
American territory it would be i'm
mune from seizure during war
when the United States is neutral
and that nobody could be taken of
an American ship at sea AS a
matter of fact the United States
! in the famous controversy with
Great Britain during the Civil wal
! finally conceded to obey Britain
right to search American ships. Il
the ship were American territory
/ it would be an attack against the
sovereignty of the United States
! During the recent war American
1 vessels outside the emile limit
were subject to capture and diver
sion from their course and the
American government never con
tended that an American ship was
American territory.
