bone dry" opinion from Attorney
 Gen. Daugherty it is said there was no action contemplated to curb the
 movement of such stores On the
 other hand. liquor smuggling from
 British and other ships lowering out. side the three mile limit was even then difficult problem of law en- i iforcement for the American govern ment.
 The American proposal for double barreled treaty agreement to deal with both questions 1t is further declared was due wholly to the fact that both situations were resulting in inconven- fence to the governments at the same time and that it was hoped to remove at one stroke all likelihood of future friction.
 Flat rejection of the 12 mile phase of the American plan makes it doubt full in the American viewpoint that the ship liquor situation can be dealt with alone
 Administration officials do not agree that international law or legitimate traffic could in any wise be affected by the 12 mile proposal. They take the position that no ship bound on a legitimate errand into American wat CTS would be in any wise affected. The only traffic aimed at was that illicit business on ships which come within 12 miles but not within three miles of the Am erican shore line.

GOVT. MUST WAIT FOR CONGRESS TO REVISE LAW ON LINERS BRINGING
 IN BOOZE; WILL CONTINUE SEIZURE

Washington. June 29-Great Brit aims fiat rejection of the American proposal fsr 9 prohibition l2 mile limit has left administration officials no alternative. 1t was said authorits- lively today. but to await the will of congress ss to revision of the law and meanwhile refused admittance to ship liquor stores under penalty of seizure.
 Formal com ment on foreign Secre- tary Curzon's announcement in par liament yesterday was not available the Washington government having no report on the subject and no reply through diplomatic channels to it's treaty proposals, There is no doubt. however that Marquis Curzon's impli- cation that the ship liquor issue was raised by the United States to afford 3 leverage for a treaty agreement on rum smuggling is not in accordance with the facts as they are understood by Washington officials. Tn the Am- ericah viewpoint the two matters have nothing to do with each other.
 It Is pointed out that the cases which resulted in the recent supreme court decision prohibiting liquor car 'iage by foreign ships in American waters resulted from the initiative of oreign ship companies.
 Up to the time that the fears of the 'oreign companies as to the legality If carrying liquor stores drew out the
