UNLIKELY.

LONDON, July 25 Reuter Icarus from a well-informed source that the departmental committee enquiring into restric- tions on bringing liquor into United States waters has not yet completed its labours. Therefore it is premature to discuss any action the British Govern- ment is likely to take with regard to the United. States' request for an extension of the 3-mile limit, but it is considered very unlikely that Britain will agree to a 12-mile limit.
