so farVsrltboat ofSelal copies of llto
new ship liquor regulations Issued
by the treasury n»o«t of the embas
sies and legations in Washington
whose merchant vessels would be af
fected, have cabled their home gov
ernments brief synopsis of the order.
The fu|J test will be forwarded In
due course also T?ut the time Inter
vening before the regulation* take
affect Sunday is ao short that It Is
believed the foreign legislations will
decide upon a course of action ut
least for the present on the basis of
the cabled summaries.
In diplomatic quarters tho opin
ion la expressed that the Initiative
la a decision aa to policy
will be taken by the managers of the
great steamship companies although
TTTa ezpectud they will advise with
the officials of their own governments
before doing ao.
The Jmpresrkbi Is gaining ground
here that for tbe most part foreign
steamship companies will wage an i
earnest effort lo comply with the
American law. They are expected
to ot least give H « fair trial simM
if It works too great a hardship on
tbo roiopfcnlcH It ts considered likely
they will look to their own govern
ments to Institute formal negotiation*
with Washington In the hope that
umendlatmy legislation will be en
acted by the American congress.
