The United States has never sought

Should American interests fail to
get their just due in the near east

it is too early to form a judgment as

THE SALE OF LIQUOR ON
SHIPS

The decision Of the United States
supreme court handed down OH April
30th is an Interpretation of the Vol
stead law as it relates to the sale and
carrying OF alcoholic beverages on the
high seas or in American ports.
Put eoncretely, the supreme court
holds that American vessels may
under the act carry and serve liquors
beyond the three-milc limit, but that
neither American or foreign vessels
may bring or keep liquors within the
three-mile limit whether it is sealed or
Interest has been shown as to the
effect of this decision upon vessels
controlled by the United States
Shipping Board. There is a
pretty general feeling that, without
regard to legal technicalitcs, there is
a certain moral and social improperly
in officers of the government carrying
on in government-owned ships a
practice which, by the Constitution
and national legislation, is forbidden
everywhere in the territory of United
States. From the practical point of
view, it is difficult to see how either
foreign-owned or American-owned
passenger ships can make any use of
their legal privilege of selling liquor
on the high seas. If they stock up
with liquor in foreign ports, they must
either sell it all before they reach our
three-mile limit, or cast overheard
what remains, or, as has been humor-
ously said, park" or Check their
surplus liquor in vessels waiting for
that purpose just outside the three

DR.. THOMAS JOYCE RENOWNED DRUG ADDICTION
EXPERT REPUDIATES DRUG ADDICTION CLAIM
After Treating 1000 Cases New York Hospital Says Not More
Than One Per Cent Trace Habit Alcohol Not One Case
So Reported Since Prohibition Became Effective

DR.. Thomas r. Joyce, physician in

statement under date of April 20 to Hon.
George s. Hobart of New Jersey 1t was

to the effect of prohibition of the liquor
traffic upon the habit-forming drug
traffic.
DIR. Joyce was for many years in
charge of the New York hospital at
North Brothers Island, East River, which
is the hospital where drug addicts of
New York City are sent for treatment.
He is one of the leading authorities in
the United States and in the world on
the use and effects of narcotic drugs, and
by many is believed to be the greatest
expert. The opinion Of DR.. Joyce in form
of question and answer is given below
DR.. Joyce's Statement.
Q. Has the prohibition amendment
and the laws forcing same had
any effect, and, if so, what effect, upon
the use of narcotic drugs such as NOR
phine, cocaine and .heroin, etc?

are classified under opium and it's de-

SHADOWS OF 1924
Politics and Liquor

Behind the economic question and
the international question turks the
liquor question. 1t will be in both
conventions, but the Republicans will
promptly thrust it aside; the Re-
publican party is dry, and expects to
stay dry. In the Democratic conven-
ton, however, it will be the very
Devil. The South, whose solidarity
must be the foundation of Democratic
strength, is emotionally dry; the North
and East, to which the Democrats
must turn for the second layer Of
votes, is emotionally wet, SO wet in
the big cities that cool politicians use
the term crazy Wet. And the most
emotional of these vets are normally
Democrats. The cleavage is deepencd
by religious feeling. The South's
emotionally dry Democrats are Prot
estants; the North's emotionally wet
Democrats are Catholics. Not in
decades have the Protc stants of the
South and the Catholics of the North
been SO religiously conscious in their
politics as at this time. For years the
dissmilarity between the Democrats
of the South and that of the North
had been a party embarrassment, but
