The week OF November IS has been
specified as the date for the ottawa
conference OF Canadian and UnNed

would result benefcially to both gov
ernments.
Some concern is being expressed
here. however. as to the basis upon
which the Canadian government could
make an agreement with the United
Prohibition in Canada was said to be
largely under provincial Jurisdiction.
The Canadian central government,
however. can approach the subject
from the angles Of International rela-

is hoped that on that basis satisfac-

ship Liquor Considered.
The ship liquor question also may
come up for discussion. 1t is no
crime in Canada for a ship of Do

port with liquor for the United

they can convince Canadian authori-
ties that continuation of that prac-
tice may ultimately result in en-
