The situation today -is that the United States delegation has told the British ‘that limitation can only be achieved by keeping cruis- er strength within 400,000 tons. which is some 50,000 tons higher than the present United States cruiser strength.

The Americans say in effect: "We do not ohleCt to you having ‘i0 odd cruisers if you really need them, but distribute the tonnage 80 that the total will not create an excess over your present total ton- page."

To this the British answered: “We need about 70 cruisers, but if you Americans insist upon keeping large size cruisers, then we must nnturnlly build our cruisers up to maximum size when the itlme comes to replace tho old ships. some thirty of which are of 6,000 tons displacement or even less. if you will construct smaller ships it will automatically bring down our total tonne .

The only witness who is not connected with the Customs Department was James Paton, Chairman of the Prince Edward island Prohibition Commission. He dealfwit-ii seizures effected by pro- vincial prohibition or with their as- sistance and suggested that a cer- tain proportion of liiquors seized should come 0 the province. The concelisus of opinion expressed was that there ls smuggling ol‘ llqilor along the iPriiioe Edward island coast, ‘but itilst there is little or no smuggling in anything else. it was suggested that a few iigarettes and a email quantity of tobacco comes in by the underground route.

llnspector Casey, the first officer ‘t0 ibe examined gave evidence as to, the size and revenues of vaiious ports and outports which mme withlil his Inspectorate. ll-le pointed cut that some of the outports which do very little business were kept open as a. convenience -to the peo- ple in the vicinity. For instance, in the case of St. Peters, he stated that considerable warm winter clothing was sent in by friends of localpeople.

'Mr. Casey said that the sub-col- lee-tor at Cardigan is a part-time man and that his salary is $360 per annum. -
