THE NEW PROHIBITION RULING.
British Suggestion of Discussion.
London, June 3,
Mr. Van Wettum and Mr. Stephen Porter to find a conciliative formula with regard to the American proposals, as to which the detegates of Britain, India and Germany proposed reservations in respect of the production and export of apium.
The American delegation have submitted a note saying they did not desire to indicate the particular measures any country should adopt to repress the opium traffic; but to admit that domestic usages in any particular State were legitimate and conformed to the con- vention would be a dangerous initiative, and might lead to demand for international recognition of undesirable practices. It seemed quite useless to base judgment on the legitimacy according to the ages established in India reservations would destroy the scope of the American proposals. The American delegates hope those proposing reservations will reverse their decisions, and so enable the establishment of common strategy for the suppression of the com- mon scourge of the nations.
in the House of Commons, replying to Lt. Col. Howard Bury with to the Americau prohibition regulations, Mr. Baldwin said the British regard Government did not contend that a ship entering territorial wat ers of a country was not subject to the jurisdiction of that country, but as a matter of international comity such jurisdiction is not generally exercised except to restrain acts likely to lead to a disturbance of public order. No possible disturbance of public order in the Caited States nor injury to other United States interests could arise from the existence of sealed liquor in ships in the United States territorial waters. The Government consequently had auggested to the United States Government that the proposed regulations might be discussed At Letham Hill.
