It had agreed f0 the extension of three mile limit to s. twelve mile it for the plitflso of search; it . agreed to give information to S. customs officials u to vessels wiring with liquor for U.

(speak for the government. in this- iI have received with considerable fiylllppilly and every consideration lthe (motcsts of those who are op- lposcd an the exportation of liquor, (but. I sincerely believe that under all iillc circumstances asH-eiatcd by my- ‘self this afternoon and evening and with all the measures already taken, the government has done fairly well. and has perhaps gone far enough. "But the door is not closed; the government is always prepared to give further consideration as devel- opments may justify it. I ice], how- ever, that before we take any fur- ther action there should be more convincing proof that our neighbors are doing all they can to help themselves. In the meantime the government desires and wel- comes a frank discusion by mem- bers of all parties of a difficult and vexing problem. in order to enable it to arrive at new conclusions or to be confirmed in the position of that which so far has been taken." The Hon. H. HuStevens, Burrard. spoke at some length. He took little exception m the remarks of the min- ister of national revenue. He con- tended. however, that the question of profit should be lost sight of and that tho export tax of $9 a gallon for liquor going tothc United States, should be taken off. and that coun- try pieced on the some basis as oth- er countries to which liquor was ex- ported. The higher cost of obtaining liquor in the United States was the cause of smuggling said Mr. Pouliot. in a humorous attack on the prohib- ition law of the United States and the vain efforts to have it enforced, and Messrs B. W. Fansher. West Lnmbton and J. L. Brown, in support of Mr. wocdsworth’: contention, strmsing the “unfriendly" act of this country towards a “friendly” nation. wound up the discussion for the evening. This afternoon the ‘ istbr of the interior informed the house that 05.- 200 square miles of Canada had been photographed in Canada in 1928 and sillcc 1023 the total area sm- ounted to 262.045 square miles. A resolution to exiend the time for rc- ceiving applications for insurance under the Returned Soldiers Act from one year from August 1929 will be considered in committee of the whole tomorrow. An act to amend the penny bank act received its first reading as well as seven divorce bills. The establishment of s. nation- ‘a1 bank in Manitoba is under con- lsideration by the government it was iannounced by the Hon. Charles Stewart, Minister of the Inferior. Upon going into committee of supply to consider an sct to amend the War Revenue Act. Mr. Mac- dougall.
