COURT LIFTS RUM
BAN ON u. s. SHIPS
Given the Right to Sell Booze
While at Sea.
CAN'T BRING 1T INTO PORT
Supreme Court Rules That Dry Law
Limit Is Three Miles and Places
American and Alien Boats on
Same Footing.

Washington, May 1.-The Supreme
division handed down decision of
far-reaching consequence and wide
qualifications in the long controversy
over extension of the American prohi-
bition law to vessels at sea.
The principal points in the decision,
Justices Sutherland and McReynolds
dissenting were:
American ships may carry liquor
and sell it as a beverage to pas
sengers beyond the three-mile
limit.
Foreign vessels may not bring
liquor within the three-mile limit,
even if sealed as ships stores.
Doesn't Follow the Flag.
The claim that prohibition fol-
lows the flag" heretofore main
tanned by the government, is not
sound and must be bolstered up by
additional law to make. it effective.
Congress has power. which it
may exercise at will, to prohibit
intoxicating beverages on Ameri-
can vessels anywhere at any time.
One feature of the new situation ac-
cording to lawyers, is the legalization
OF rum row off the New Jersey coast
and the inconsistency Of naval action
against the smugglers beyond the
three-mile limit.
Problem More Complicated.
The decision, instead of disposing of
the controversy, promises to intensity
and complicate it. It opens up pros
pect of involved diplomatic exchanges
and bitter parliamentary battles.
AS Justice Sutherland, in his dis
senting opinion pointed out, the major
ity decision threatens to lead to "in-
ternational misunderstanding and is
likely to invite retaliatory measures by
foreign nations. The State department
probably will have busy season Of
notewriting before the question is set
tied.

carry out these pledges fully pre-
pared and presented, and specific leg
