State Department Officials Declare Liquor Rules Domestic Issue
Washington June 6 Diplo mats in Washington who have discussed the ship liquor question with State Department officers have had it pointed out to them that the question is purely one of American domestic jurisdiction and therefore not subject to treatment through any joint international conference. The American government does not propose to seek such a method of adjustment or to accept any proposals of that nature from outside sources. The question of rules and regulations under the Supreme court's interpretation of the prohibition enforcement act is wholly a matter for congress, it is held, and so far as known that viewpoint has not been challenged in correspondence with various governments.
