§ Sir E. STOCKTONasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he can inquire from the British consular authorities in the Philippines and Porto Rico whether the American prohibition law is being applied in their districts, and, if so, on what lines?
§ Mr. McNEILLAccording to Regulations issued on the 2nd June by the United States Treasury Department, the provisions of the National Prohibition Act do not apply to the territory or the territorial waters of the Philippine Islands. No reference is made to the exclusion of Porto Rico from the effects of the Act, which is presumably being applied in that island on the same lines as in other portions of the United States.
