BY international News Service.

RALEIGH, N. c., May 29.-The
world needs to get back to work
more than anything else, and Presi-
dent Harding should Immediately
call a world economic conference
to devise ways and means of bring
ing this about, Senator Royal S.
Copeland, Democrat of New York,
declared here today in an address
to the graduating class at North
Carolina State College.
President Hs-ding has missed
his opportunitY' Senator Copeland
said, in proposing the world court.
He has given the world a crust,
when he could have given it Loaf"
said Copeland.
Can a world court heal broken
hearts, feed the hungry, restore
the sick, remove the fear of starva-
ton and ruin, give work to those
who would labor, and wipe out the
hatred Of all the races of men?
will the court revive business,
restore commerce and insure pros.
perity?
"Is the court the one remedy for
the serious disease gnawing at the
vitals of the world?
1T may be conceded that the
court is one of the ingredients Of
a prescription which might save
the world. But in and OF itself it
is no more a panacea for the dis
tress and unhappiness Of mankind
than is single sip of water enough
to save a man dying of thirst"
The world stands at a critical
stage, Copeland said, and the only
restorative is work and business.

COURT BAN ON
SHIP RUM
Treasury to Risk RetaIiatory
Action by Foreign Powers,
Officials Say.
BY w. H. ATKINS.

The Government will strictly en-
force the Supreme Court decision
forbidding beverage liquor on for
eign vessels inside the American
three-mile limit. even at the risk of
retaliatory action by the foreign
powers most affected by restrictions
upon their shipping and trade in
terests, it was declared authorita-
lively at the Treasury today.
Several weeks of debate among
Treasury experts over the particular
form of the regulations which put
the decision into effect June 10 have
brought officials to only one con-
clusion, that no mere Juggling OF
phrases can get the Government
around the highest courts decision
of what the law is, and that it must
be applied literally against all for
eign ships until Congress exempts
them.
Treasury officials said there will
be no occasion for delaying the ef
fective date of the regulations
beyond the time set. They held to
this view in the face of pleas by
foreign ENJOYS for some further
parley, in which it was thought by
them possible to follow certain 'sug.
gestions" they had offered for
modifying restrictions which are to
be laid. French Ambassador Jusse-
rand, along with diplomats of Eng
land, Italy, Spain, and the Neither
lands, have formally communicated
to Secretaries Hughes and Mellon
their views of the effect of the de-
cision on the maratime practice of
those countries.
Officials Of this Government were
free to admit today that the regula-
lions in their final form will clearly
reveal that there has not been a
meeting of minds" between Off
Gals of this and other governments.
But until Congress supplies a rem
edy for the situation, officials
argued there now is left only one
course to follow-that of strict en-
forcement.
One of the points over which Of
ficials have been troubled is
whether foreign vessels shall be
allowed to retain ship stores
liquor within the three-mile limit.
Today this question remains unset
tied. Officials said some solution
may be found by a broad inter.
probation of what shall constitute
medicinal liquor" But this ruling,
even if made, will not be sufficient
ly broad to give foreign govern
ments much comfort.
Secretary Mellon has ordered
that the regulations must be ready
within a few days, for it will be
necessary to give the fullest In
formation concerning them to for
eign governments before they be
come operative.
