In some quarters the hope even is expressed that they may not be issued until Congress has had an opportunity to take some action to meet the objections of the foreign powers. . The impressian has been galned by some diplomats here that the administration Itself is disposed to recommend legislation amendatory of the Volstead act and exempting | forelgn ships in some respects from its application.

There have been numerous consul- tations between members of the staffs of the variouss embassies here on the subject, and it now !s apparent that the governments affected are acting concurrently, though, not jointly.

One deals with the general principles of inter- national maritime law, and the extent of ‘jurisdiction of a state over foreign vessels within its territorial waters, H i Ae. and EXHIBIT A cleverly executed minature model of the new $8,000,000 HOTEL WALKER, now under construction, together with a group of paintings depicting the truly marvelous interiors of this masterniece of hotel architecture. ~ 809 15th St. N.
