That is one difficulty. We suppose the poverty of the government keeps it from getting sail- ing vessels of its own, so its pursuing ships have to limp along under steam. * * & HE too, the government is greatly handicapped by its lack 6f information as to where the booz fleets intend to land their cargoes. The government has tried every way to find out except asking the inhabi- tants of the New Jersey ports who know. A correspondent who took thé trouble to ask had no difficulty in finding out. He witnessed the landing of thousands of cases of whisky from a whole fleet of schooners; saw the cargoes transferred from ships to lighters, from lighters to docks and from docks to motor trucks which honked away with them to New ork, Philadelphia and Washington. Whole towns were in on the great secret. An army of longshoremen did the work to the chorus of chantey men. Whistles blew, donkey engines puffed, chains clanked as the cargoes were hoisted from their holds, power boats chugged, orders rang out, trucks rumbled, armed guards deployed—but the secret of the landing was successfully kept from the watchful government. * * & landing places are well chosen, of course. They in remote parts of the country, near Atlantic where nobody ever penetrates but hotel guests and nobody lives but the inhabitants. New York and Philadelphia are far—an hour's ride away. The gov- ernment has no means of reaching these places by sea except ships and none by land except railroads and motor cars, The .only means of communication are bs telegraph, the telephone, the radio and the post- office. If the government had any money {t could, we sup- pose, hire a detective. But the government {s broke, because the people refuse to pay more than four bil- lion dollars a year taxes. As a result congress ror priated only nine million dollars this year to catch it~ leggers, and $150,000 of this must be used for pub- licity. Why the prohibition agents need to buy pub- licity when the bootleggers furnish them so much free we don't know, but that’s what the appropriation law provides—-$150,000 for publicity. es * & ) congress would only loosen up with some money the government could hire a boy to watch these New Jersey ports and telephone when a rum fleet put in. Efficiency isn’t required of government, we know, but at least it ought to keep awake on Thursdays, which is the day the rum fleets make their landings. On those days the newspapers send their correspondents down to report the proceedings—not that it’s news to anybody, but there’s always a chance of something interesting happening. A government patrol boat might not be able to get out of the way quickly enough and be run down. * * F the government can’t do anything else it ought to pass a law requiring these rum-running ships to keep their landing places secret. This publicity is handicapping the dry forces and making it very diffi- cult for them to be somewhere else when the booze fleets appear.
