CANADA DECLINES |Canada Explains TOSTOPRUMSHS Dominion Refuses to Comply With Request of State Department. Canada has declined this govern- ment's latest request to help in the- enforcement of prohibition. The Do- minfon in a note through the Brit- ish ambassador here, declared | it could not adopt the suggestion put forward by the Amertcan State De- partment last March, that clearance papers be declined vessels with liquor destined to ports in the United States. This government in its note to the Canadian authorities had called at- tention to the Canadlan border prob- lem, and pointed out that the Cana- dian authorities permitted small motor boats to take on cargoes of liquor and to make regular customs cClearances to vports in the United States, thus complying with the Canadian law which nrohibits the sale of liquors to persons in Canada, but allows the exportation to a foreign country. It uggested that since the im- portation of liquor into the United States without a permit was fllegal the Canadian officlals might be dis- posed to decline clearance papers to vessels with cargoes of llquor des- tined to ports in the United States unless permits authorizing importa- tion were prezented. The reply of the Canadian govern- ment through the British ambassador, received Tuesday, said it had care: fully investigated the matter and had rtained that the provisions of’ the law were being properly observed. It was further stated that the export of liquor from Canada was not pro- 1 and there existed no provi- the customs laws or regula- arranting refusal of clearance to vessels carrying liquor ed for a foreign port simply b cause its entry, without special per mits, is prohibited.

IRONCLAD hster, 1as s, \ COn U.S. Schoéner The (anadian government, in an- swer to an inquiry from the State Department here, has made a report covering the firing upon the Ameri- can fishing schooner Siloam by a British coast guard ship off the .coast of Vancouver Island two months ago, which resulted in the killing of an Amerjcan sailor. The report sets forth that the American vessel was caught with lines overbeard fishing within the territorial waters of British Colum- bia; that upon being hailed she ac tompted to make off and resistec scarch so that it was necessary 1o fire upon her. A report requested from the Ameri- can consul has not yet been received the delay, it is believed, being due to ditliculty 'in_locating, for wiidavits, witnesses, most of whom follow the sen and therefore are only occasion- ally available. RAPS SCHOOL USE AS MEETING PLAGES Aschenbach Defends Parent- Teacher Opposition; Holds Criticism Is Justified. l Action in Firing | Opporition by the District Congress lof Mothers and Parent-Teacher Asso- |ciations to the use of public school buildings by community and other gatherings was justified, according to a statement today by G. H. Aschen- bach, president of the Franklin- Thomson Parent-Teacher Assoeiation. “A resolution criticising the use of {our public chool buildings by com- munity a well as many ou de (which means various state and other gatherings who do'not take the least interest in our school or city system whatever) organizations, and passed | at a recent mecting of the Distriet | Congress of Mothers and Parent-| soclations, of which Mrs. es Scott Rafter is the presiding head, was just and proper, and an- swered a question which has been in | ‘lhu minds of many for some time re- | garding the use of our”schools by | other than local bodies working for the betterment of our community and school system,” said the statement.

J. Dris- tccll, president of the Mid-City Citi- zens' Association, that the mothers' critlcism was unfortunate and un-; called for, does not answer the ques- | tion satisfactorily as to whether our schools should be given over to other | than lccal bodies working for our | city tem and whether | the taxpayers are willing to let this | practice continue. “The citizens of Wachington are very genercus when the question of cducgticn arises, for they not only * to provide for the proper schooling of their cwn children, but al arents’ children from the to Washington and the country, for that matter. of which some are only here | for a given time hen by reason of circumstances they leave the city— all of which passes on witkout que: i re of | hould we, then, be expected grant ‘outsiders’ the use of our | chool buildings for their friendly gatherings? “Iy, may be that the grantinglot| such favors induces some peoples to | think you must hang to the coat tail, of some politician or you won't keep in. which i ad situation for a public school s em to get into, be- {cause they leave and the citizens must stay here.” URGES BOARD T0 AID U. S. IN EMERGENCIES President of Coal Body Suggests Plan to Co-Operate on Few Minutes' Notice. By the Associated Press. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June 23.—! Creation of a board from experts in the coal industry to act with federal fuel administrators in neace and war- | time emergencies was urged before the National Coal Assoclation ves- terday by John C. Brydon, Somerset, | Pa., Who was re-elected president. Mr. Brydon proposed that “this na- | tional body, here assembled, take j occasion at this time to offer to the government the expert knowledge of its membershin in the production and! the distribution of soft coal.” i “The acceptance of this offer,” he sald, “would mean that, in co-opera- | jtion’ with the prover governmental | { #nd transportation officials, we would | work out in advance a nation-wide | plan, which, in the event of any na- 1 tional emergency, would instantly | place at the disposal of the govern- ment tke nation's entire resources of soft coal, ready for efficient distribu- tion and’ use. “This plan of coal mobilization could be so comprehensive that it would apply not oniy to the central or- ganization’ at government headquar- | | ters. but even to the remotest coal producing district in the ywhole| United States. Its details should so efinitely specify the personnel that the moment an emergency arose, | to his pre-arranged post, and at once begin to function for the protection of the nation’ e.” The association, which will have a national policy commiitee to handle such matters, will make the offer to, the government.
