Berlin, April 21.-Germany viii

practically a certainty, after Lord
Curzon's speech, which is featured
md commented upon at great length
in all newspapers in Germany today.
1t is apparent that Chancellor Cuho
and Herr Rosenberg no longer can
resist the pressure from Washington
and London that Germany take the
initiative with a new offer. Added
to this is the strong pressure being
exerted through Curzon by the DO.
litical parties of Germany to the same
end.
This attitude was. in effect, the de-
cision of the special meeting of the
cabinet called by Herr Cuno today
to consider the policy Of the govern
ment following Curzon's speech.

British Government Hol ds
Freedom of Seas Higher
Than American Law in Re-
ply to Requests of US.
Drastic Action Planned
BY Universal Service.

Washington, April 21.-The British
government has fatty declined to aid
the United States in suppressing the
rum traffic. the State Department
announced today.
Baked In the effort to sweep the
liquor fleet from the high seas
through diplomatic exchanges, the
president Immediately set in motion
more drastic measures.
Acting upon instructions from the
White House, Dry Commissioner
Haynes called a conference made up
Of all government agencies interested
in law enforcement.
L was decided that liquor SNUG
Cling can be suppressed in only one
way-by employing as many light
swift naval craft as may be needed
to build a wall between the liquor
ships and shore.
This plan, 1t is stated has the ap-
proval of President Harding and the
cabinet. who had before them the
British notes. In these tho British
let it be known that they put the
TRADITIONAL freedom OF the high seas"
above the american law and would
not consent for ships Of this nation
to interfere with Britishers outside
the fhree-mile limit
Send New Requests.
As a rejoinder the State department
has sent new notes asking that the
British withdraw registry OF ves-
sells under their flag when it is
known that the ships are engaged In
the rum traffic and that the owner
ship is part American. They also
made the request that The British
government and colonies deny clear
ance OF ships with a liquor carge
that may be- destined fo- American
consumotion
[ The British haxe mol replied % this

Wilson complained that the United
States had the right to search and

Secretary Hughes pointed out that
the United States acquired the right
to search and seize ships on the high
seas as restlt Of a specific treaty
with the British The same right was
ceded by the United States. In case
Of seizure the ships were to be

Secretary Hughes pointed out that
the British had specifically declined
10 enter into such an arrangement
regarding ships suspected Of having
liqnor aboard. lie added that the
United States VAS without sufficient
jurisdiction to handle such cases even
should the British agree as there is
no law touching the subject.
In addition he enclosed copies Of the
