To Stop Liquor Smuggling
Would be a Great Task

Toronto, Can, Nov. 24.-To stoo
liquor smuggling across information
Al boundary lines would require u
greater navy than the government
low possesses and greater standing
army than any had in peace, so long
us countries on he other side of the
border are not in sympathy with our
national prohib- ton policy, DR.. Err
.Iest H. Cherrington, Westerville, o.,
secretary of the World League
Against Alcoholism, declared in al.
dressing the league convention heie
today.
The total international boundary
line of the United States is 17,572
miles in length, including two coun-
tries, two immense oceans and large
gulf, he declared. Beyond this bound
ary, he said, in virtually every direc-
ton the liquor traffic has recognized
regal standing. s..
In spite of all the Intoxicating
liquors held in bond in the United
States at present, which are more
than sufficient for all legitimate re-
quirements' for years to come," said
the speaker, "the fact remains tha.
during the first eight months of 1927
there was accepted international i'm
ports of 10000 gallons of whiskey
and 362,532 quarts of champagne.
"The single province of Quebec
Canada, on our northeastern border
imported in 1921 more Scotch whis-
key than had been imported into that
province during the entire ten years
preceding.
Estimates have been made to tn
effect that in the vicinity Of Detroit
Michigan, there are smuggled owe.
the Canadian border 1000 cases o(
contraband liquors every "a hours
"The Island of Bimini, and Cuba,
together with others of the West In
dia group, are we'll known bases o
operations for international bootleg
ging and the violation of both the
spirit and letter of the prohibition
law in the United States.
"The Mexican border wi h the none
too we'll policed mountain districts
presents large opportunities for the
carrying on of an illicit traffic in all
kinds of liquors across the borde
in defiance of the American constitu
ton as we'll as the national and state
prohibitory codes.
ALREADY the airship is being enl
ployed as an agency for liquor SNUG
Cling and when one bears in mini
the remarkable progress of aeria!
navigation during the past five years
it does not require great sweep Of
imagination to visualize the possibili
ties of the use of airships in great
numbers for breaking down of pro.
hibitory regulations during the next
five years.
"The many new organizations in
America for the notification and re
peal of prohibition are, after all, but
a part of the program of the strong
" organized international liquor
traffic which represents greater
wealth and influence than it repre-
sentde as a national institution. s.
today the future of American prohi
b .tion is involved in what is to be
the future policy on the liquor ques
ion in Canada, Mexico, Japan, Eng
lang and other nations.
.The economic international pres
sure being brought by such countries
as France, Spain, Portugal and Ital
upon smaller prohibition nations
naturally raised the question as to
whether such action is of concern to
the government of the United States. -
