LONDON, June e-"Fancy that is

favorite comment upon what he con-

other nations. This week, however, very
much more than that has been said
concerning the United States govern
ment dry shipping ruling.
John Bull has walked UP to the fact
that. according to all indications, this
ruling will actually be enforced after
Sunday. Inasmuch as he has read his
newspapers for the last three years and
knows that prohibition is one thing
that certainly is not enforced in the
United States. his sense Of grievance
is keener than ever. A view which IS
very frequently expressed by the man
on the street, and which has recently
found its way into parliamentary de-
bates and press, runs something like
this
THE United States, finding It i'm
possible to make it's own country
dry, now is trying its luck on the

That this perhaps is illogical and
certainly not strictly accurate, does
not alter the fact that it is an aspect
Of the situation which appeals
strongly to the people of Britain.

American liners to compete with

public, however, naturally sees only
the broadest outlines of the situa-
ton, and in this there Is serious
danger.
In England, one of the greatest
obstacles in the way Of complete
friendliness with the United States
is undoubtedly prohibition. Perhaps
third of all news dispatches from
deal with this subject. The result
is that the average man on the street
believes implicitly that prohibition
is a dead letter In the United States
