evening, and be among the first to
cross into New York and other North
ern States. All are buoyed by the
hope that by coming to Canada they
can avoid the Ellis Island crush.
The difficuIty they will encounter.
however, will be the inability OF immi-
grafton authorities to handle such a
rush.
The number actually holding them
selves in readiness for the letting
down of the quota bars on July l is
incaiculable. But some indication may
be gained from these facts:
The Montreal head office of the
United States immigration Department
during March, April and May per-
mitted ss.SS2 persons to enter the
United States, thus filling out many
of the almost exhausted quotas.
Fully as many persons. according to
immigration headquarters. have been

London. British-Ameriean dis
pute over enforcement OF prohibition
on the seas has been thrown into the
field of open diplomacy, after exten
sive secret negotiations.
Lord Curzon, Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, announced In the
House of Lords that friendly discus
sion" with the United States over this
question had been in progress for
about one year.
Curzon. in response to an interroga-
tion. stated that there is no chance
OF our agreeing. under any cireum-
stances whatever, to the American
proposal for a 12-mile limit to replace
the three-mile limit
He also said that a committee. pre-
sided over by Ronald McNeill is at
present considering the question
raised by seizure of liquor aboard Brit.
ish liners at New York.
With regard to the general PROPOSE
tion of dry enforcement aboard ship,
Curzon said that "the channels Of
diplomacy are being used to find an
exit from situation which is undoubt-
edly dlsagreeahle, and which ought not
to be allowed to continue"
He indicated belief that the Ameri-
can action in boarding foreign ships
and confiscating liquor was not vio-
lation OF International law, but that it
constituted an infraction of the code
of International practice or custom.
Undue Importance should not be at
tached to the breaking of British seals
by American officials in order to get
at the liquor. he said These seals
have no standing outside British ter
ritorial waters, and there is nothing
sacred about them. the Foreign Sec
retary said.

FIRM STAND ON
/ SHIP LIQUOR RULE
Curzon's Reply to Hughes IL
Mile Search Zone
AWAIT RETALIATION MOVE
Drastic Seizure OF Vessels. Delayed,
But Not Entirely Abandoned
United States To Stand
Firm.

Washington, Great Britain
having rejected a proposed solu-
tion Of the entire International
liquor snarl, the United States
will stand pat on its ship liquor
policy.
This was the answer In official
circles here 10 the remarkable speech
In the House OF Lords by Lord Curzon.
British Secretary for Foreign Affairs.
condemning the American prohibition
policy, and announcing that Great
Britain would never accept the Hughes
proposal for an extension of the three
mile limit to 12 miles.
The following. 1t is understood on
good authority. will be the policy Of
the United States Government as the
result Of Curxon's declarations:
/. Since she will not accept the
proposal Of Secretary Hughes. Eng
land--and also the other powers who
likewise reject the plan-will have to
do the worrying. and accept what is
American law.
2. The United States will not re-
verse, for the present, the stand taken
recently in refusing demands for dry
leaders to seize foreign vessels that
bring liquor here in violation Of the
court ruling.
8. However. after sufficient time
has elapsed for the foreign steamship
lies to accomplish their test" Of the
American law this Government will
take some drastic action, such as seiz-
ure Of the ships, II the foreign lines
persist in violating the law.
4. The American Government takes
the position that the Supreme Court
ruling constitutes a final word on
American law and that that law must
be upheld against all objections, un.
less satisfactory treaty arrangements
can be made to overcome these objec-
tions and modify the law.
Curzon's declarations are regarded
here as undoubtedly a British chal-
lenge to an enforcement of the SUI
preme Court decision-a challenge ut
tered for the first time on official au-
thority There was no attempt in
Washington to hide the seriousness OF
the situation.
The British Foreign Secretary's
statement that II one country acts un-
reasonably toward the ships of another
nation the latter can retaliate means
just one thing-s British shipping war
against the United States. officials
here believed
The impending British war OF re-
taiiation against the United States will
be of a double character-this country
will be cut on from the routes Of Eng
lish ships ordinarily coming here, and
American ships that enter British
ports will be subjected to all the i'm
conveniences that local customs laws
will allow; duty will be charged on
all ship property.
