HOPE HUGHESPLAN
 FINDS APPROVAL
Washington Officials Pleased by
 British Attitude

Washington, Oct, Expressions ia British newspapers recently faNors able Ia the acceptance hy Great Britain Of the IS mile limit treaty plan proposed by Secretary Hughes 10 eurh liauor smuggling Into the United states has caught the atten- ton Of officials here, While hope is entertained that deliberations of the British imperial conference will re- suit in the decision to comply with Secretary Hughes suggestion. it was emphasized today that no suthori- tatiHe indication has been received that action would be taken.
 Additional data in support Of the American treaty plan fos dealing simniIa neonsly with rum smuggling and the ineonvenienees oeessioned British ships by enforcement Of the Nalslead act has been laid before the British foreign office by Ambassador Harvey. In effect this Is in answer to points made in the reply Of the foreign offiee 10 the American pros pasal and was submitted prior 10 the meeting Of the imperial conference in
  have complete statement Of the American viewpoint when the con- ference took ID the question.
 Great Rritain's reply frankly stat ed that the foreign ofrice was not fayorably inclined toward the fe- mile limit of search and seizure pro- posal. The specific objections made are not considered ns insupernble from the Washington viewpoint. In the communications to the foreign office made by Mir. Harvey, there- fore. it Is understood that the Ameri- can proposition was explained at greater length. IS known. has been based on the fear that the plan might invade in | ;cme degree the rule of international | aw that recognized the three mile | IS the limit of territorial jurisdic- ion. The Washington government | akes an exactly contrary view of the probable effect of a specific agree nent to extend that limit up to I2 miles for the stated purpose of smuggling of contraband trticlee to either country. Tn he American view such a special agreement would only serve to make he general three mile rule stronger ince 1t would be noted in the special reaty that it was an exception from recognized principle of interna- lonal law.
