; *‘fieZZAgglndge brought before the
K: "cabinet for discussion naturally
Just what the United States SO‘efn‘
ment could do to stop ruin runn n8
_ by co-Operation with other nations.
Although tho treaties that luv:
been proposed and in the case too
Great Britain ratified 8W0 Ameruc
:‘jfie right to pursue tor twelve in 8:
15mm that attempt to unload mum
”on American territory "1C proolem
’ now has developed as to What can
be done to prevent the sole of car-
:éoos'on the. high seas. .
“Great Britain has argued in a
“note sent to the American govern-
merit that she is willing and anxioua
to prosecute any cascs in WWII All"
erican and British citizens are
proved to be In conspiracy to v10:
late American laws but she does
not see how she can inflict poodl-
ties on her own citizens for trans-
ferring cargoes at sea.
In other words if a British vessel
nets soil from Plymouth. Lngland.
and has clearance papers for Bar-
muda. and other points she is free
to sell her cargo enroutc and dc-
llver it. wherever the goods may be
consigned. Shipments might even
be consigned to a purchaser Who
agreed to come for the cargo In the
middle of the Ocean.
There is no vio.ation of British
low in such an act and while the
American government would like to
see such consignments made the
basis for penalties to be inflicted on
‘ foreign ship-owner‘s so that the trn [-
flc may be stopped the British do
not think they can afford to put
such restrictions on their own trade.
Great Britain. of course. is. not in
sympathy with the American dry
laws. Her nationals are selling 'a
good deal of liquor that they didn't.
sell before the Volstead law was
passed. Yet in the interest of in-
ternatlonsl comlty the British rec-
ognlzs the necessity of ~ punishing
unyone who is engaged in a. con-
spiracy to violate. American laws.
The London government knows that
international good-will requires ro-
ciprocal action on conspiracy cases
for they may extend to things more.
Vital than merely the violation of a.
liquor law.
Restricting trade is regarded as
another thing and the British at the
moment are in need of every bit of
trade they can get. The liquor trul-
flc’with America is flourishing not-
withstanding tho recon! treaties to
make it legal to seize vessels inside
the twelve-mile limit. Also there are
nations which haven't signed such
treaties and therefore the rum run-
ners can still fly a. variety of foreign
flags.
The President and the cabinet
are agreed that one of the most im-
portant phases of the whole prohi-
bition question is the importation of
liquor. Although the coast guard
scrvlce has been enlarged it still is
’ inadequate to cope with the rum
running on coast lines as extensive
as those of the Atlantic and Pacific.
Also the Canadian and Mexican bor-
ders are hard to police.
No conclusions were reached by
the cabinet as to a. eburse a: actlod.
‘Sectotary of State Hughes present-
ed the legal aspects of the question
with characteristic skill and-showed
wherein the British position was
founded on law- and precedent.
Again. therefore. the solution turns
not on a matter of legal right but
"good-will. If Great Britain can be
persuaded that it will adversely at.
'Iect'tho good feeling between the
'peoples of the United States and
~ the Brill-h empire to permit her
nationals to continue to engage in
‘mde that inclined at the over-
throw of America's prohibition ox-
Daflment. an amendment of existing
British lawn might be made. But
the problem is what is known as
municipal 11w and rests entirely
:wltbln the volition of the British
and other foreign governments.
Thus for foreign citizens have made
too;— much money out of the traffic
