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 | Nlinislcr or ‘External Affairs. He. gives n hint of this. 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." Clearly. there is more in his mind than this, slnoo Imd Curnonu uneasiness of 1921i was known" to hinliin me when his col- lclguc. the Minister of National ne- venue, declared that cmca. would go on ‘granting cloirancelc in accor- dmce with the laws odthis country It would be presumptious to luggesi that the Prime bliniliclf liiwld: take the Canadian people entirely into hi: oonrlaznue regarding the . pulls tho! lilo avortlntftlhouldtlonnllfi the! vise lc sinudingluthe Mich. mote eai Willi! as hiltlbmfliltrltbd solicituda for the integrity of ouuau subtitle 1mm‘ um ‘nu-mu so ruflmiler. m mung 9m pun- wt quusuQtlTEWvl/‘N Glibi“ ly visited Southampton. spent the week end in St. Georges, the guest of lldiss Irene McKinnon. was a recent visitor to St. Peters Bay and reports the roads to be in poor condition.
