TO TEST DRY LAW
Officials Believe Natives Op-
pose Ruling Holding Pro-
visions Apply to Islands.

Whether the Nolstead act and the
eighteenth amendment apply jointly
or separately to the Philippine Islands
is a question which the Federal
courts ultimately will have to pass
upon. The Philippine department of
justice has given its opinion that
neither the law nor the amendment
applies to the islands, while the De-
partment of Justice in Washington
contends that the amendment pro-
hibits the carriage of liquor for
beverage purposes by ships sailing
to Philippine ports.
Under the decision of the Depart
ment of Justice. the State Depart
ment has ordered its consular agents
TO refuse bills of health to ships car
rying liquor cargoes TO the islands
Gov. Gen. Leonard Woods protest
against that practice on the part
of the consular officers has brought
the question UP for renewed consid-
Grafton, it developed today.
Must Enforce Law.
State Department officials said that
since tho Attorney Generals opinion
had been given. holding that trans
portation of liquor to the islands was
contrary to the amendment, they
could only continue to enforce the
instructions given tho consulS, since
il was not for them to interpret the
law, that responsibility rested
upon justice legal experts and Treas
ury prohibition and customs enforce
ment officers. 1t was recalled also
that former Secretary Baker was
called upon while in charge of the
War Department to render an opinion
on the status Of the islands as affect
ed by tho Nolstead act and the
amendment.
Baker contended that the act did
not apply. but that an administrative
ruling on the application of the
amendment would not help to solve
the question. since ultimately it must
be decided by the courts.
Prohibition I. Opposed.
1t is assumed here that since the
Filipinos apparently regard the At
torney Generals opinion with disfa-
vor and in conflict with that given
by the legal advisers of their govern
ment, they will find a way to bring
the question before the courts for
final determin alton. Meanwhile, it is
said. the State Department will con-
tinue to enforce it's consular orders,
declining TO modify or alter them
until the legal tangle is solved or
changed from it's present state of
being.
