Wood Believed Islands Exempt By War Amendment
The eighteenth amendment was believed to exempt the Philippines from liquor shipment prohibitions. The State Department told consular officers to deny vessel clearances for liquor destined to the islands. Dispatches from Manila said Governor General Wood sought health bills for ships from Tong Kong to the Philippines, showing a belief in exemption. The Justice Department opinion stated prohibitions apply to all states and territories, but no enforcement was set up on the islands under the Volstead Act.
