‘An enthusiastic audience greeted the first showing of FBUs spectacu-

‘iar thriller of the liquor wars. “Blockadefl at the Capitol Theatre yesterday.

The dramatic vigor of the climaxes, with the players speaking from the screen. drew repeated applause from the crowd and set this new melo- dramatic achievement of George B. Seitz, maker of "The Blood Ship" and “The Vanishing American," on the pedestal of epochal drama. Mighty in theme and sweeping in execution, the production presents the pirate domain of "twelve miles out" in all its glittering drama and scarlet pomp.

Anna QflNilsson, in the role oi.’ a girl commander of a pirate vessel, rises to dramatic heights seldom at- tained and shc has the able sup- port of an acting and talking cast which includes Wallace MacDonald, Walter McGrall and James Brad- bury. Sr.

Blood-tingling battle roars thru- nut the picture with‘ a smashing‘ siimax as government forces of sea and air blast ‘and rum fleet to de- struction in s. great sea fight. Through it all runs s. romantic story that held the first night in breath- less suspense.

Alarums And . . _ _

EXCUTSIOHS It is lmpossblc to consider serious- ly Mr. William L. M. King's descrip- tion oi’ the perils from which the Dominion can escape only by bro- hibtting exports of liquor to the Unit- ed States. What asks thegMontreal Gazette was the situation? The Unit-

ed States had passed a prohibition. law and an effort was being made. un-

percentsge-u very small percentage --oi' the liquor being consumed in the numb States, despite the occasional vigilance of the enforcement officials. was being imported from Canada. It was being imported, according to the statement of the Minister of Nation!“ Revenue last your by Untied States crews in United Stats vessels, and, in many instances in the broad light of day whenthe American custom officers didn't happen to be around. The Unit- ed Stain-enforcement officials, for their own convelence. asked that Can- ada refuse clearance to thesc vessels. This was a. year ago, and Canada rc- fused. The explanation given to Par- liament by the Minister oi’ National Revenue was that the export of li- quor, so far as Canada was concerned was perfectly‘ legal that no offence was committed until the shipments cf liquor wue tlken_ in w the unites’ States, that the men and \w.scls en- gaged in the traffic w-ere American. gndthat to refuse clearances to ihes; vessels would put the Canadian peo- ple to considerable expense. It has since been estimated that the finan- cial loss to Canada would run into, many millions of dollars, and, tyquote i theMlnlster of National Revenue ag-i sin a Canadian export emba-rgowlll not stop the traffic but will drive it underground. It must be abundantly clear to even the most casual obscrvu‘ that the remarkable change between“ the attitude of the Government as dc- = fined by the Minister a: National m- i venue a year ago and the attitude-oil! the same Government as revealed in; the Prime Ministers bill, must have been brought about by some new fac- i tor, some irresistible conslderatiorhi Such as inference ls one hundred pcri cent. sum». It transpires that the y very safety of Canada was at stake. Mr. W. L. M. King's words in making the graviety of the situation known to Parliament, and to thepreviousiy cue-free people of the Dominion, are these: "May I say. Mr. Speaker. that so perilous do I believe the situation to be that I would‘ no longer assume the rbspouslblity in the matter of ex- ternal affairs in this Heard l! I were | not sure that I had the support o6 ' this Parliament inany policy which, I believe to be necessary to prcventi a condition which might prove pzrl I lous to this country any day, or fa..l- ing the support of this Parliament, the y suPlWrt of the people of Canada in a , matter ss grave as this." i Here is a declaration calculated to, sober the most frivolous. The sltua-l tion has been "perilous." The publicl I

of course, knew nothing of it. They had heard. to be surc, of the proposed es- tablishment of a standing army of enforoemest officers along the unferti- fied and defended boundary, but they failed to appreciate the real menace tc-Clnsds which was deve- loping. They thought that as the mruggiers were American citizens, plying their illegal trade in American ships, the brunt of the attack would‘ fsll upon them. The Prime Minister seems to have hm other lhrsmlstlsh,‘ secui-ed no doubt. in 11's capacity as

Also he recalls a fear. expressed some seven years ago by the late lord Cureon. that rum-running between Britain and the United Sin- tes might crests "dnlcdle and aim-I cult situations."
