States Ameritans Are The Chief Rum-runners

(Canadian Press)

.. TORONTO, Oct. (IT-According to Gen- eral V.-A. S. Williams,‘ Commissioner of On - tario Police, practically the entire rum-run- ning industry between Canada and the Unit- ed States‘ is in the hands of the United States citizens, says the Toronto Telegram, in refut, ation of the impression in the United States .that_ 1t is “Canadian bootleggers who are keeping the United States in an illegally moist

condition.” - ‘ “They’re practically all Americans,” said General Williams. “If I had control of polic- mg the highways of the ‘Province I would seize six or seven American automobiles every day, engaged in the trade. Why, as it is, we caught four New York State automobiles just recently engaged in rum-running. In the last case our men got the car and Federal

authorities took it over.”

tional Customs Meet Take up” Work Started at Rome

(United Press.)

GENEVA, Oct. IT-Cuslonls for- iualitios-hoxv to simplify them and make them o. help rather than a hindrance to international trade was the question of supreme inter- est discussed yesterday at the op- ening session of the International Customs Conference.

In a consultative capacity an lin- portuntgrcup is here to the in- ternational chamber of commerce, which really framedtlio basis of the present meetings at its confer- cncc at Rome. Those delegates will be freely consulted as impoltunt problems on the agenda are dis- cussed.

Questions like national tariff policies have been officially struck out of the programme. on the ground that they are not ripe for international treatment, but the delegates have admitted privately that the present conference is prob ably only the forerunner of on at- tempt to take up the huge and cou- troversiiil questions of tariff and commercial policy and endeavor to secure some universal agreement.

M. Juussen, director general of Belgian customs, cleverly kept within tho rules of the conference yesterday, yct. succeeded iii mak- ing the, point that if the barrier of customs policies was to be made more terrible by impenetrable bar- riers of customs formalities, then the freedom of" international tijaile was ilnperilled. He and others insls led that such formalities should not operate to prevent the cx- nhange of goods and that all traders great and small, had the right lo know what was before ihcm.

The French loader, Etienne Cle- YIlf-‘Yllel. who Dfcsldos over the con- ference. in a speech that was up- plauded. declared that world bus- iness interests have suffered by tho difficulties encountered by tra- ders in getting goods through the customs. -

Plan of South Afri European Recons Which is Compreh so Supported by P Bruce. ~

(British Ulliled Press)

LONDON. Oct. 17.—The British iforelgifOfflco is concentrating its attention on the comprehensive proposals made by Premier Smuts for settling the reparations prob- lem and tho reconstruction of Eur- ope to some basis of security.

Premier Smuts in his statement emphasizes the necessity of appron chlng this question primarily from a psychological standpoint by stu- dying the German mind and basing all the plans on the probable reoc- tlon of German mentality. This ex- plains the recommendation of the scheme fathered by the League of Nations which was so successful in the case of Austria.

Premier Smuts believes the on- forcement of all claims should be taken out oi‘ the hands of the Al- lies and placed with a committee of the league for he thinks if this

was done the German attitude would at once undergo a great change.

There is evidence that both Mac- Kenzlc King and Premier Bruce are supporting the plan oi the South African.

The proposals would in no wily interfere with the plan proposed by Belgium for it reconsideration of the entire reparations problem by a commission appointed for the purpose under the Versalllesftreli- ty. The amount which Germany is

ject of discussion both hers and in Paris whenever the Belgian plan ls (liscussed. Criticism is dir- acted in financial circles against that part of the scheme by which the debtor nation will be complett- ed to make payments before its position is stabilized and this is generally regarded in London as putting the car before the horse.

What changes the British for- eign office will make in the Smut's plan before it is made public is not yet known but it is greatly feared it will emerge from the dim and dusty offices of the British Bilr- enncracy in a scarcely recogniz- able forln.

The real value of the discussions yesterday with regard to empire communications was the life which it infused into the British Govern- ment. in the question of wireless which has been deadlocked for many months owing to inability to reach an agreement with the lliar- coiii Company which has licld up the developments which the Dolnln ions have planned in this field. The overseas premiers yesterday took u strong stand urging the necessity for iinmedlnle action as necessary in order t0 speed up empire inter- cominnnication.

Declares Before Bos - ton Audience that Attitude of Em- ployees Factor of Success

(Canadian Press) BOSTON. lilacs" Oct. 17.--(lo\'- ernment ownership of railways should be resorted to only when railroads could not be made to pay and to render adequate service to the public under private ownership and management. Sir Honrv Thornton, President and Chairman of the Canadian National Rall- ways. said tonight at a banquet of the Traffic Club, of New England. He told the assembled traffic men that while Canada now has govern- ment ownership‘ the government does not operate the roads but leav es their management in the hands of a Board of Directors who are railroad men.

The head of the Canadian Ns- tional system said that one of the more important phases of the rall- rond industry in the United States and Canada was the attitude of the employees of the roads "to whose temperament and welfare those wielding power in the great

industries often give too little thought.” “While ' the success of every

large industry depends largely up- on the treatment of the workers even our universities do very little to inspire students with a desire to understand the psychology of the workers." Sir Henry said: "La- bor, unions originated in England as a result of the rapiclty of em- lployees and bad l lived at that per- iod i think I would have wished [to be a labor union leader."

l Sir Henry said the raising of wages could not go on indefinitely in America. The only safe formu- la for wage rates was that it should be sufficient to enable work ers to live comfortably amid sani- tary environment and bring up their children to be self-respecting citizens of the next generation, he
