Britain declines reciprocal search rights for prohibition navy
Washington reports Britain rejected the idea of extending the right of search and seizure beyond the three mile limit to aid American prohibition officers. The British noted steps by Canadian and other port officials to curb fraudulent clearances and rum smuggling under the British flag. The stance, conveyed by Sir Auckland Geddes, could block any expansion of authority outside territorial waters. Prohibition orders already restrict actions to the three mile limit unless shore contact via small boats occurs.
