PROHIBITION LAW.
STRICTER ENFORCEMENT.
MEASURES BEFORE SENATE. Australian and N.Z. Press Association. WASHINGTON. April 13. Mr. C. L. Blease, Democrat member for Columbia, introduced a motion in the Senate requesting the President, Mr. Hoover, to enforce the prohibition law "in the strictest sense" on vessels flying the American flag on the high seas. The measure was believed to be directed by a controversy involving the liner Leviathan, which recentfy passed into the hands of private interests, who announced their intention to sell liquor. Mr. Blease also introduced a proposed amendment to the Constitution, to forbid the use of liquor by foreign diplomats. He also introduced a motion requesting foreign Governments to send as their representatives only persons willing to abide by the Constitution of the United States.
