DAILY NEWS EDITORIAL
British Newspaper Not Much Impress
ed With Americas Plan For
Treaty Regarding Liquor.

London, June 14-The Washington
governments suggestion for reel
procal arrangement regarding ship H.
quors is prominently displayed in to-
days newspapers but the only COM
ment is offered by the Daily News
which describes the American admin
istration's proposal as a very ingen-
ious method of bargaining for a long
desired concession
The newspaper doubts whether 9TH
err governments would consent to a
treaty agreement which would give
the United States the right to search
within - miles of its coast.
Moreover" it continued, 1T Is
rather difficult to see why 1T is less
immoral to modify the dry ship rule
through a palpable bargain of this
kind than without any bargain at ALL
The real objection to the rule Is that
it is contrary to recognized interna-
tional practice and that 1T interferes
with the traditional rights of other
nations"
The newspaper regrets that the
United States has not accepted the
British proposal for a general confer
ence upon the issues involved in the
supreme courts liquor decision and
saws it will not be surprised If America
soon finds it expedient to change her
mind in that connection.

two or three and those only of the
most pressing nature. He also has
eliminated the daily respects" or the
time set apart TO receive those who
merely wish to shake hands with him.
Golf too has been eliminated al
though in fact the president has not
played much golf In recent weeks and
hasn't devoted a great deal of time TO

trip-not as much as his physical well
being demands, according to those
who guard his physique.
Mr.. Harding has been able to get
In some hard lick5" of the speeches
and It was said today that the out
lines OF the principal addresses had
been completed.
The plan being followed by the exc
cutive in writing the speeches is un-
derstood to contemplate treatment Of
a single subject in each address. For
example. transportation probably will
be discussed In the Kansas city speech
the second Of the trip and the rela-
ton of the government to the farmer
in the third address which will be
made at Hutchison, Kas.
