EUROPE'S ANGER AROUSED BY US. LIQUOR RULING An Ulterior Motive Seen--Aim to Penalize All Foreign Shippins. Paris. June 16.-- Not since the United States Senate "saved the re- public" by keeping it out of the Lea- gue of Nations, has agpything so muck damaged relations between the Unit- &d States and Europe as the decisicn fof Washington that foreign ships can- not carry liquor into the three-mile limit. There is a sad lack of under- standing in Europe as to the real purpose of United States. Just as three and four years ago, Americans in what appeared to be an enormous majority put upon the League of Na- tions project, which came from Am- erican men, a construction that Europeans could not understand, so today Europe puts upon the liquor ruling an interpretation which is equally unjust perhaps as the Ameri- can interpretation of the league sev- eral years ago. In England, in France. in Italy, in Holand, in fact wherever the Am- erican move arcuses interest iu Eur- ope, there is just one conception of the American purpose, namely that the United States is seeking to pen- wlize foreign shipping in order to piace American shipping on the same basis in its attraction for the passen- ger trafic 't does not kill this in- terpretation to say that the United States Supreme Court is above such tactics and that the American gov- ernment would not stoop to any such programme Europe has made up its mind that" America has her reason and has made up her mind as to what that reason is. 2 U. 8.
