HOT AIR SYSTEM TO KEEP
FROST OUT OF ORCHARDS

LOS ANGELES, June 12.-Frost
prevention is an ever present prob

California. A dependable system
of frost prevention would be of i'm

Recently a system has been de-
yeloped which shows great promise.
The plant consists of a central heat

Officials Say That Ruling Will
Be Strictly Enforced De-
spite All Objections.
By w. H. ATKINS,
international News Service.

Six months, at least, Of diplo-
matic friction with foreign gov
ernments over the Supreme
Courts decision, barring bever-
age liquors off ships in American
territorial waters, was considered
by Government officials as newt
able today, following renewed
protests Of the French govern
ment. It is probable Italy and
Spain will follow France in ex-
pressions of resentment that their
ships are not allowed to serve
wine to crews as is required by
compulsory statutes of those
countries.
Enforcement Is Certain.
The wine ration phase of the con-
trovSrsy is considered the most Sc
I Yious of all the questions which the
State Department will be compelled
to debate with the diplomats Of other
governments But high officials Of
this Government, despite the almost
certain prospect of additional pro-
tests, assert that strict enforcement
of the decision will be maintained.
The contention that foreign ship
is foreign territory, and shall be
granted customary immunities un-
less it disturbs the peace of the coull-
try it visits, is one advanced by sew
eral of the foreign countries protest
ing the Supreme Courts decision.
This contention has not been entirely
brushed aside by officials OF this
Government, for there is an old de-
cision by the same Supreme Court,
in 1880, stating that very thing
that the comfy Of nations" pre-
vents interference with toretgn
ship unless the peace and tranquility
Of this country Is endangered by
what goes on aboard ship.
Congress Only Can Help.
Treasury officials today frankly
confessed themselves in grave doubt
over the outcome of the contro-
versies stirred by the new liquor
edict. They recognized that it holds
many possibilities of serious dis
pute with friendly foreign powers.
Their dilemma is made worse by
the fact that the only relief that
IL possible is remedial action by the
Congress, which does not meet for
six months. Meanwhile, It is evil
dent that the protests against al
legged unWarranted interference with
the rights and customs Of foreign
shipping will continue 20 pile up
at the State Department and vex
officials. there. Few questions have
risen in recent years that have
borne 50 many elements Of conflict.
It is not believed that in the nor
NAL course Of events this Govern
ment will do more than confiscate
beverage liquors held unlawfully
by foreign vessels. What will hap
pen If foreign ship masters insist
upon serving wine rations to their
crews, in defiance of this Govern
ment's agents, is purely contectural.
Officials at the Treasury would not
speculate today on how such a sit
uation will be handled. This and
other possible incidents, however.
are admittedly fraught with grave
consequences.
