DIPLOMATS’ LIQUOR
AMERICANS SUSPICIOUS. ILLICIT TRAFFIC ALLEGED. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received February 4, 10.30 p.m.) WASHINGTON, February 3. Mr Louis Crampton, in the House of Representatives, introduced a resolution asking Mr C. E. Hughes, Secretary of State, and Mr A. W. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury, to inform the House of the regulations under which foreign diplomats at Washington import liquor, and the quantity they have imported since January, 1920. Mr Crampton intends to start a movement to stop the use of Embassy liquors in illicit traffic. He said the problem of the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment at Washington was made more acute by the illegitimate selling of these liquors.
