Guards Stem Liquor Flow From Essex Docks, But Admit Rum Is Smuggled In at Another Point 800 Men to Be Used in All, Chasing Booze Boats in River. Windsor, Ont. June 26 (Cana- dian Preas)—Canadian customs re- turns for the current month should show a aignificant drop in the ex- ports of liquor from the Essex bor- der docks, according to reports of the United States authorities. Imports at the one-time notorious liquor receiving depot of Ecorse Rave been cut to a fraction, anc- eording to customs patrols, while the occasional rum boat on the American side of the Detroit river is more or less of an oddity these nights, they say. Treaton Now Objective Considerable liquor, however, is getting through below Ecorse on the Trenton front. The rum boats are shooting out from Amherst- burg into the lake and there are not government boats in adequate humbers to stem the tide. But this situation is to bhe reme- died as speedily as possible, ac- cording to the plans of the prohi- bition enforcement agencies. More than 50 boats .of all descriptions are to be in service by July 1, it was reported, ranging in type from launches for use in shallow chan- nels, to the 70 foot speed boats carrying one-pound guns and useful for long chases. Radio to Be Used The new rum chasing fleet is to be directed by radio from a secret headquarters dqwn river, it is said. Reports are to be submitted at in- tervals, day and night. from both American and Canadian sides of the Detroit river, and the govern- ment boats. can get under way in pursuit of suspected craft as alarms are broadcast. The strength of the “dry” navy after July 1 is to be: 14 of the coast guard 75 foot cruisers, 14 of the customs border patrol boats, eight coast guard boats, eight coast guard boats of the 42 foot class, and 17 coast guard boats of the 20 and 36 foot calibre, a total of 53. 800 Men in Corps It is understood that the person- nel of the three departments co- operating in the anti-smuggling drive is to comprise nearly 800 of- ficers and men. The coast guard reported last night it had seized an Amherstburg rum runner on a small boat with 15 cases of whiskey.

The government, it was under- stood in reliable quarters, has noti- fied the Dominion governments that it intends to resume relations with the soviets for the first time since 1927, That was one of the promiscs emphasized by laborite leaders in the last genera! election. Notification Courtesy Notification of the Dominions, while not compulsory, was con- sidered a courtesy action on the part of the laborite government. The | conservative government of Prime Minister Stenley Baldwin had promised the Dominions it would notify them if it decided to resume relations with Russia. Diplomatic representations were withdrawn from both countries at the request of Great Britain after a police raid on Arcos, Ltd., the Lon- don trading office of the soviet re- public. Documents which British authorities claimed revealed an ex- tensive soviet spy system through- out Great RBritain were discovered during the raid, and although the soviet government denied tb charges relations were broken off. Defeat Pleased Russia Consequently, the defeat of the | conservative government in the tast | general election was greeted with pleasure in Moscow, and a flood of articles and cartoons derldlng Ram- | say MacDonald, which flowed for a | while after the election. was sup- pressed quickly, obviously by the soviet government. Complete diplomatic relations probably will not be resumed tor sometime in any case, it was pointed out here. First, there would be ap- pointment of charges d'affaires in London and Moscow, followed im- mediately by a conference to de- | termine how commercial intercot should be regulated. That confer ence probably would be followed by another on the political controversy over propaganda and debts which, if | concluded , satisfactorily to botn sides, would lcad to the appoint- | ment of ambassadors.
