Great secrecy has been preserved by the Allied Governments and Washington concerning the terms of the British note.

Great Britain, although unable to offer passengers the pleasure of a wet trip home, was not legally affected. But France and Italy found in this interpretation an encroachment upon their wine-ration law. The captain of a French or Itallan ship was faced with the necessity of breaking his country's law or of being arrested by American prohibition officers. Fortunately Secretary Mellon has solved the dilemma in a common-sense manner by allowing the ship doctor to determine...
