- SENI-LEGAL RUN SHUGGLING LATEST Dry Agents Concerned With Stopping This Washington, July 29 (P—"Semi- legal” liquor smuggling into the United States has increased steadily during the last few years while ille- #al rum running has been curbed materlally, according to prohibition headquarters. Experts estimate that the annual volume of liquor leaving foreign ports for American entry would ap- | proximate $4(,000,000 this year. The only official estimate of the | yearly volume of smuggled liquor is | contained in the commerce depart- | ment's “balance of international | payments” Estimated from 1922 to | 1926 ran between $20,000,000 and | $55,000,000. Officlals describe this type of smuggling sum as “semi-legal,” as the rum runners declare their car- goes and this is all that is required by a number of forelgn governments thus making the shipment legal, as far as the foreign government is | concerned. Smuggling the liquor United States is illegal. The amount of “semi-legal” liquor | entering the United States is con- siderably larger than the value fig- ure indicate: was stated. At | bootleg prices the sum would be es- | timated considerably higher as the commerce department, as the figure is based on the value of liguor when cleared from other countries. Coast Guard officials, however, contend that liquor smuggling has virtually been broken up by the “dry navy.” the rum row has been smashed and ihat only an infrequent straggler | now attempts to land rum on tha | Atlantic coast. | In the rec Lt.
