The customs authorities express the opinion that the decision of the Department of Justice that no ship transporting liquor from one foreign part to another may call at an American port will, if strictly carried out, prevent the entry of any passenger liner having a bar, even though the contents are sealed Shipping circles considerably doubt whether the ruling should be strictly construed.
