Treasury Sets Drastic Day Law Shipping Rules
The treasury issued new liquor rules enforcing the Supreme Court’s dry law interpretation to ban all alcoholic beverages from U S territorial waters after 12:01 am June 3. Exemptions exist for medicinal liquor and diplomats, but ships in distress may enter a harbor only if they prove grave necessity with bond for compliance. Congress may attempt relief, while some officials expect the embargo to stand until the 18th Amendment is changed.
