Washington, May 1. The Secretary of the Treasury announces that a date will be fixed when the new regulations in accordance with the Court's new prohibition ruling will become effective. Ships now at sea are not affected.

New York, May 1.

the

The Supreme Court's liquer decision is considered everywhere as a momentous ruling and a harbinger of prolife diplomatic exchanges. The professional Prohibitionists avidly seized upon the Court's ruling that Congress is empowered to extend the dry laws to American ships. They predict a speedy amendment to Volstead Act, making American ships veritable floating Saharas Mr. Lasker announces that the Shipping Board will defer any action until President Harding states his attitude, the President having personally ordered the vessels to be dry.

The New York Morning World says that the decision places foreign ships, which are compelled by law to carry supplies for their crews, in a quandary from which they cannot escape. The paper sympathise with the Supreme Court in the difficulty of

interpreting a statute of fanatical foolishness."

The New York Herald thinks that the decision creates serious situation and is contrary to the historic attitude of the United States.

The Chicago Tribune, however, says that the decision is equit able and is based on commonsense legal principles.

PAN-AMERICAN CONFERENCE FAILURE.

Santiago de Chile, May 1. .. The Pan-American Conference programINE for the limitation of armaments has definitely broken down owing to the impos sibility of reconciling the views of Brazil with those of Argentina. The Brazilian delegate created considerable excitement when he announced that Brazit had consented to discuss the question ef armaments only through courtesy, she had endeavoured in December to secure the elimination of the question from the agenda. believing that a tripartite discussion between Chile, Argentina and Brazil was the only practical way to a complish the reduction of arma- ments."

British manufacturers should make a strong bid for the trade of the Far East, especially of China, urged Mr. Godfrey Chees-asily. man, secretary of the National Unitn of Manufacturers, in an inter- view to day. He quoted the managing director of a British firm who had beer. touring in China, as saying that the trade situation-Gault, by means of apparatus was bad. The cotton industry was "down and out" and many mills were closed and others on half time. Mr. Chesaman sug gested that it might be worth the while of certain big British. firms to step in. He emphasised that as iong as the Chinese im- porter was given the article he asked for there would be no com- plaints and no difficulty in obtaining payment. He also emphasised tha. the Chinese were very particular in regard to quality.
