SWANSON SUPPORTS
NAVAL PACT RATIOS
Believes @5-3 Basis for u. s..
Britain and Japan Is Fair
Despite Toxic Reports.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary Swanson said today 1t was
"his personal opinion" that the naval
ratios laid down by the Washington and
London treaties for the United States,
Great Britain and Japan were equitable
and fair and should be maintained.
The Secretary made the comment in
response to questions by newsmen re-
garding statements in Toxic that Wis.,
count Ishii, on his arrival In Washing
ton to confer with President Roosevelt,
would speak for naval parity between
the three countries.
The Washington treaty laid down q
ratio OF 5-5-3 for capital ships be-
tween the United States, Great Britain
and Japan, respectively. The London
treaty, taking in the other categories of
war vessels, gave Japan slightly bet
ter than 3 ratio, since Japan was given
parity in submarines and 108 900 tons
OF heavy type cruisers, compared with
!80,o 900 for the United States and 146, 900
for Great Britain.
II do not know what the position of
Mr.. Roosevelt or the administration is on
the subject" Swanson said, but it Is
by personal opinion that the ratios laid
down In the two treaties are equitable,
fair and just and should be main
tanned"

Sweeping away virtually all old re-
strictions around medicinal liquor, new
regulations greatly to liberalize its
production. distribution and use soon
will be promulgated by the Government,
to become effective Monday, May Is.
Based on the new medicinal liquor
act of March 81, the regulations are
understood to provide as their principal
feature that physicians may not pre-
scribe an amount in excess Of what
they believe Gin good faith" to be
necessary to meet the medicinal needs
Of the patient.
Among old restrictions swept into the
discard are those limiting the amount
prescribed to . pint Of whisky in 10
days to a patient; limiting the physt-
clan to 100 prescriptions In 90 days, and
many requirements which under old
regulations caused much bookkeeping
and maintenance Of detailed records.
In the meantime, before May Is. how
ever, ofncials warned that the old
regulations win continue In effect.
The old familiar prescription blanks
which have been in use by physicians
for years viii continue to be used for
the rest Of this calendar year only for
making prescriptions under the new lib
eral regulations. because the Govern
ment has such q large supply Of these
on hand. But the physician will not
be required to make out q duplicate
prescription. In other words. in each
book Of prescription blanks there are
200 pages, including 100 prescriptions
and 100 duplicates. Beginning Mon
day morning, May IS, the physician
may write 200 prescriptions out OF each
book, instead Of 100, using the "dupli-
cate" pages for original prescriptions.
While the old prescription blanks will
be used up to January !. 1884, after
that date the doctors viii use their
own prescription blanks, to which they
will attach q stamp, to be obtained from
the Government without cost to the
doctor.
The new regulations are comparative
ly brief and have been prepared for the
signature Of Secretary Of the Treasury
Woodin, Attorney General Cummings
DR.. J. M. Doran, commissioner of In
dustrial Alcohol; A. v. Dalrymple, di-
rector Of Prohibition, and David Burnet,

awaits the formal action Of complet-

While the old specific restrictions
have been swept away by the new regu-
lations, certain general requirements
are laid down for the guidance of
physicians in prescribing medicinal
liquor, including both "spirituous'' and
''yinous" kinds.
3o-Day Supply Legal
For instance, it Is understood 1t
will be provided that no prescription
shall be issued for q quantity that in
the judgment Of the physician viii

than 80 days. It Is provided, however,
that II q patients medicinal needs will
with reasonable certainty continue for

clan may prescribe for that patient
