CLAIMS OFFICIALS ASSIST SMUGGLERS Gasadian Offioer Charges Liquor Cargoes Have Free Passage Into United States CANADA DOING ITS BEST Says Bootleggers Tokd Him Their | Trad s Sae Ottawa, May 22 UP—W. D. Euler, minister of national revenue, in 8 speech to the house of commona, said liquor cargoes from Canada had been landed in United States ports day and night without interference, and sometimes with the aid of en- forcement officers. His speech, devoted particularly to the defense of the position of the Canadian government in refusing to withhold clearance papers {rom ships carrying liquor to the’ United Btates was made yesterday. Canada is doing all it reasonably can to assist the United States w stopping liquor traffic across the border, he said, adding that the problem is one of the United States own making for which Canada was not responsible.. He described a trip he had made on a boat engaged in liquor traftic. The vessel was within sight of the United Stats port for which she was bound during the entire trip, he said, In Detroit hie osked bootleggers how it was that their supplies crossed the river in an uninterrupted stream day, or night. He said he asked them where the United States revenue officers were that they did not prevent the trade. “Just Aren’t There” “It just happens that they are not there when we go across,” was the reply he received. Liquor vessels, he said, landed their cargoes within a hundred yarts of the United States customs offices in a certain city where they dock, sometimes it took three hours to un- load their cargoes and “they actually were assisted by officers of the dry squad.” He expressed doubt whether re. fusal to issue clearances to liquor vessels would prevent smuggling into the United 8tates, explaining that liquor would be exported illeg- ally and that a larger customs force would be required by Canada to keep down that traffic. “In the lignt of statements I have made in connection with the lack of effort on the part of the United Btates to enforce thcir ewn law, T think we might at lcast go slow un- til we have some aswurarice and some evidence that they are trying to do for themselves what they are now asking us to do for them,” he concluded. HARDWARE CONDITIONS Healthy Tone to Business All Over Country — Seasomable Waeather Would Further Boost Trade. New York, May 22.—A generally Fealthy tone characterizes the coun- try’s hardware business at this time, according to reports from important market centers, Hardware Age will #ay tomorrow in its weekly market summary. While it is true that some sections report a slight spotti- ness due almost entirely to adverse weather conditions, none regard it as a definite trend toward any slow- ing up of demand; in fact, trade held up remarkably well in spite of the atmospheric handicap. A con- tinued spell of seasonable weather will no doubt produce a resurgption of strong demand for hardware lines, The steel industry continues in its healthy stride and is expected to do %0 for some time. The agricultural situation is most encouraging and employment in the industrial areas 18 at a high level, all of which points to good trade conditions. Prices are noticeably firm and col- lections are showing improvement.
