BRITISH DENY RIGHT
TO REGULATE LIQUOR
Say U. S. Has No Jurisdiction
Over Stores Of Foreign
Vessels.

Washington, D. C.-Great Britain's
position on the ships liquor question
as communicated to the state depart
ment by the British embassy, is under
stood 10 be based on contention that
American port authorities have no
Jurisdiction in international law over
liquor brought into American waters
as a part of the regular supplies OF
foreign vessels.
The authority of American officials,
under this construction, extends only
to portions of the cargo Of foreign
ships which are intended for importa-
ton into the United States, and in
no way permits Of interference with
either the physical mechanism, rations
or stores of such vessels when they
put into American ports.
While this principle apparently con-
flicts with that recently laid down by
the supreme court, indications are in
creasing that the treasury department
has found a way to reconcile the two
by permitting ships under foreign reg,
istry to list the wine rations of their
crews as part of the medicinal stores
permissible under the law.
