Dry Law Follows
Flag on High Seas,
Ruling of Sargent

The law follows the flag, Attor-
ney General Sargent holds, and
American vessels anywhere are
subject to the prohibition law.
This view was made known 20
day at the Department of Justice,
where ii was explained the opinion
was given recent substantiation by
tho Circuit Court of Appeals.
The opinion was hailed today by
both prohibition and Coast Guard
officials as of material MD in The
war on rum runners. Although
most of those fly foreign flags. it
was believed the moral force of the
decision would be effective against
The ocean bootleggers.
Department Of Justice officials
pointed our also that captains of
American vessels were empowered
to act against violators on board
their ships inside or out of the
three-mile limit--anywhere.
