PROHIBITION IN AMERICA.

New York, June 4.

The "wets" in Wisconsin 'land ate States aru planuing to intr- duce similar action to that taken by New York State in repealing" prohibition enforcement Washington admile that the Government is faced with a huge task by the withdrawal of State enforcement. Offers and bootleggers are reported more active, but there is a noticeable increase in liquor arrests.

Whilst some of the Treasury officials feel that Congress

The Treasury regulations provide the barred zone will remain closed until the eighteenth amendment that pensities do not apply to vessels leaving foreign ports prior to 10th June, and arriving in the United States after the dan becomes

operative. No limitation of medicinal liquor is prescribed. It

merely stated that a reasonable quantity may be retained.

The Daily Telegraph's New York correspondent says a telegram from Albany calls attention to the political aspect of Governor Smith's action in signing the Bill repealing the State law and enforcing pro- hibition. It says that Governor Smith proposes new policy of prohibition enforcement whereby individual States will be permitted that to define what may be designated as intoxicating liquor s soma States may have light wine and beer, while others, if they choose, may be bone dry. This is regarded as the platform on which Governor Smith is likely to go to the National Convention democratic Presidential candidate. Not only New York but other States are desiring modification of the Volstead Act.

Washington, June 1.

as

The Treasury has issued shipping liquor regulations, strictly in accordance with the Supreme Court's decision, prohibiting the entry of liquor into territorial waters. Exemption is solely granted in respect of liquor for medicinal, diplomatic and foreign warships' use. The Treasury states that requests by the foreign Powers for amelioration will He by, pending legislation by Congress.

THE OPIUM TRAFFIC.

London, June 4. Speaking at the Geneva Opium Committee on the Ist inst Mr. Chao-Sin-chu in dealing with the American proposals, said that the opium manufactured at present greatly exceeded all legitimate requirements. Therefore it was necessary to find means to limit production in order to prevent the surplus finding a way into illicit channels. It was not thought that the American pro posals exceeded the terms of the Opium Convention. The interpre tation of the word legitimate as meaning, medicinal and scientific was must reasonable and should be accepted, as evidently the inter pretition, was implied that oplum smeking, would be illegitimate in Bone Far Eastern countries.

The Convention allowed smoking to continue temporarily, inasmuch as it unly, provired for its gradual suppression. He therefore recommended the Committee to adopt the principles of the American proposals as a basis whe con au effective interna- tional corperation might be secured

CHINA'S FINANCES.

Londos, June 4:

The Daily Telegraph's diplomatic correspondent, referring to the Consortium meeting in Paris, states that it recommended DO further loans to China until the increes in the China Customs dues- stipulated at the Washington Treaties are duly carried out. A proposal had been mooted for a temporary advance of £3,000,000. to enable Peking to cope with present difficulties, but it is apparently considered this should be conditioned on a satisfactory footing by "normalisation" of hitherto relatively unsecured Chinese bonds. This will be a complicated task.

The correspondent mentions that Italy was recently sounded on the possibility of joining the Consortium, but hesitates to provide the necessary large amount.

ANOTHER RUHR SEIZURE.

Paris, June 4.

The Press here is jubilant at the French seizure of dye suËS at the Biebrich, Hoechs; and Ludwigshafen worke, valued at 200 million franes, which is claimed to be a larger quantity thap Germany was supposed to deliver under the Treaty. It is emphasised thși Germany completely stopped deliveries of dye stuffs for four montha and thus accumulated considerable stocks

It is asserted that the seizure was made in the presence of Anglo-Italian delegates to the Reparations Commission, who were requested to indicate quantities to be destined to their countries, which were immediately earmarked.

REPARATIONS QUESTION.

Paris, June 4.

When Interviewed by the Petit Parisien, Mr. Baldwin said he hoped shortly to have conversations with his French colleagues on the subject of Reparations. He is certain that a settlement can dually be reached guaranteeing a future. European Peace.
