REVENUE LAWS CAV BE ENFORCED



Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelagencer
PORT TOWNSEND Nov. ia Victo-
ria paper few days ago contained an eii-
forial discussion relative 10 the Stickeen
route. In which 1t took the stand that, un-
der the treaty Of is25 as well as under the
treaty OF Washington. 1911 the Stickeen
and other Canadian streams having en-
trance through United States territory are
absolutely free TO navigation by British
subjects.
Collector Huestis IL out Of the city but
Special Deputy Collector Blackwood gave
IL as his opinion. after a hasty examina-
ton of the authorities, that while il Is true
that the treaty of Washington makes such
streams free for navigation for British sub
Jeets as claimed. there is also provision
in the statutes providing such safeguards
as the enforcement OF the United States
revenue laws demand This Is given under
section 1855 of the Revised Statutes. which
specifically provides that free navigation
OF these fivers shall be subject TO sach
rules and regulations for the protection of
the revenues as shall be deemed sufficient
and necessary
Hence IL will be seen that there is ample
room for any necessary retaliatory meas
ures on the part of the United States. IL
tho Dominion government should under
take 10 carry out any OF the prohibltory
measures threatened.
