DRY SINCERITY Revenue Minister Says Fur-, ther Co-operation to Stop ‘ Rum Activity “Depends.” — { Wpecial Dispatch to The Star. | OTTAWA, May 31.—That Canada at the present time will do anything further toward closing her borders to | rum shipments headed for the United | States seems scarcely likely. There has been recently a very no- ticeahle crystallization of opinion among Canadians, followed by an exceedingly frank and quite clear-cut expression of opinion on the part of the federal cab- inet minister most directly concerned, | Hon. W. D. Euler. Mr. Euler, in fact, rather startled the Canadian House of Commons by stat- ing quite bluntly that he had investi- | gated the matter at first hand, and adding that he was forced, by facts. to | question American sincerity regarding | the enforcement of the Volstead act. Euler's Stand Explained. In brief Mr. Euler takes this stand: | Canada has already granted sufficient concessions to enable the United Sta to control the illicit traffic. If she re fused clearance papers to liquor ship- ments_this would in no way halt the flow. It would simply divert it to secret channels. At the present time Ameri officials are informed of all movements. Refusal of papers would deprive them of this knowledge. Finally, the reports of Canadian government observers on the border have convinced the minister that there is collusion between rum- runners and the men who are supposed- 1y out to get them. That the situation did not call for additional action until the government had “more convincing proof that our neighbors are sincerely doing all they can to help themselves” were Mr. Euler’s final words. This, till some later dec- Jaration from government sources, can be considered as the Dominion of Can- ada’s policy. hat gives the remarks of Mr. Euler particular significance just at this mo- ment is the fact that almost exactly three years ago, during another parlia- | mentary debate over the border booze | situation, the Commons went on rec- | ard as urging that “as soon as possible Tegulations be passed to prohibit clear- ances being granted to vessels carrying liquor as cargo sailing from a Canadian port to a United States port.” Tendency to Uphold Him. Mr. Euler's statement apparently has behind it a great weight of Canadian public opinion. Even sections of the | press opposed to the minister politi- cally show a tendency to uphold his general stand. to stop the influx of rum shipments has, as the minister emphasized, had much to do with the change. The expenditures involved have also received consideration. Why a smaller nation should shoulder costs in connec- tion with the laws of another and larger one is a point which constantly crops up in the Canadian argument on the case. | American magazines and newspapers. of course, circulate freely through all parts of Canada, and these, with their stories of gangland, enforcement Jaxit; illicit operations of breweries and dis tillerles and speakeasies, have all dor their bit to convince the Canadian that the amendment is being flouted. fairly openly and quite successfully, in its own bailiwick. ~ He is not disposed to take & hand in it, especially since, in most_provinves, government control of liquor has ousted prohibition, and he | has a feeling that such a move would be more or less of a reflection on the | wisdom of his own Jaws. Tariff Plays a Part. Proposals_ at Washington to erect higher tariff barriers against Canadian as well as other imports also play, if in- directly, some part in the affair. an American Government shi for outside assistance in dom enforcement and, at the same time contemplating action to restrict Cana- dian trade does not improve the situa- n pant of v ary of condition: 1y and deiatled. Always con- sidered a very cool and deliberate ad ministrator, he gave specifiz instances of what he felt could be rated as indica- tions of American unwillingness to use a firm hand.
