The right of the federal government to forbid the carrying of liquor on ships of American registry and to prevent foreign owned ships from bringing liquor within Uie territorial waters of the United States was upheld Monday by Judge Learned Hand in the United States district court. The ruling of Attorney General Harry M. Duugherty, declaring the carrying of liquors on American and foreign ships, illegal, was upheld by Judge Hand. The Jurist held that the Volstead Act gave the government the power to impose such restrictions upon the maritime liquor traffic. Judge Hand's decision carries with it a denial of the injunction asked by the Cunard, Anchor, French line and other steamship services which sought to have the Internal revenue officials restrained from enforcing the regulations promulgated by the treasury department on the bias of Daugh-erty- 's ruling. Judge Hand's ruling, however, does not settle the fight as the steamship officials already have declared they will curry their fight to the U. S. supreme court for a final ruling. Judge Hand ruled, however, that foreign ships might carry with them "on tue east bounid voyage" sufficient liquor to provide necessary rations for the crew The foreign ships, in irgu. ing for an injunction had contended that liquor on board was "ships's stores' and was an essential part of the rations provided for the crews. This phase of the decision would prevent foreign ships leaving American ports from earring a stock of liquor for sale over the bar on the high seas to passengers aboard the vessels. "So far as I can see," said Judge Hand In his opinion, "in this case, the plaintiff has no chance. Therefore I will g no further than to Issue an injunction against interfering with the carriage of a stock necessary for the voy-ngcrew's rations on the east-boun- "The plaintiff s must sum of bond, in the d each '!''.",IKX give a condi- tional against the use of such stocks for any other purposes than as crew's rations." The effect of this ruling, as interpreted by shipping men, is that ships America from a foreign sailing t port may carry n sbx-- ,,f liquor for passengers to be sold at Bea. 'i'hey may not, however bring this stock into American ports, nnd, upon leaving the ports of the United States cannot carry a supply larger than is required for the needs of the crew. Washington. The government will aid foreign ships lines in clearing up the question of their liquor rights by expediting a quick appeal of Judge Hand's decision to the United States supreme court. the government "I anticipated would be upheld and we tire ready to In move expeditiously getting the whole question before the supreme court," Ilnynes said. "Meanwhile, regulations enforcing the Dangherty qdnion will go Into effect. The rulings will be ready In a few days. Bonar Law is New Prime Minister London.
