This statement made a big impression

be brought to the attention of Con

Mr. Butler also indicated that the

Rum Boats 0utdistanced.
Speedier vessels hired by the SNUG
clers and a system OF decoSs have
prevented the Coast Guard boats from
breaking up the Illicit traffic. Now.
however. the Coast Guard has been
built up by special appropria tions
from Congress. and the rum runners
find themselves in "A chase outdis
tanced and overpowered.
The Treasury Department. which
has charge of coast patrols to prevent
smuggling, has been criticized severely
for laNity in the past. Inefficiency
and carelessness are said to have here
and there interfered with effective
weapons at the disposal of the Coy
ernment have been inadequate.
Present Situation Foreseen.
1t was, OF course. only a question of
time when the Government would
build itself prohibition navy big
enough to check rum running. The
resources of the Federal Government
are 50 large that 0.000, 900 a year
toward cutter patrol is not consid-
cred heavy burden. 1t has taken
a long time. however. to get the right
kind of craft built and the personnel
changed SO that efficiency could he
expected.
All the vessels have not vet been
modified. and it may be when they
all are concentrated at the strategic
points along the Atlantic coast the
rum runners will find some other way
of carrying on their trade. But the
raid now being set into operation
the largest since prohibition was en-
acted-iS a real test. If il proves
that more craft are needed. the Gov
ernment will build more. 1t may be
the rum runners then will transfer
their efforts to the Canadian and
Mexican borders.
See Government i'm Earnest
The "drys." however. are satisfied
that the Government is in earnest
and that a sufficient fleet is DOW at
work TO break up the rum traffic, or
at least make il many times more
difficult all of which in the end
amounts to the same thing. for its
reflex is apparent. as rule. in the
rise Of bootleg" prices.
The Government is prepared to keep
up the fight indefinitely, following the
rum runners away from the America n
coast TO whatever ports they may de-
eide to make. In other words. the
coast patrol is going to observe the
rum feet and the points of origin and
no doubt furnish information upon
which complaints ca be based of con
spiracies hatched on foreign territory
to violate American laws.
On the whole it's the biggest step
taken in seven years toward proven.
ton of liquor smuggling from other
countries.

WHEAT BIT HIGHER

Bad Weather in Argentina Helps
Prices Here-Corn In
clined to Sag.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, November l0.-Influ-
enced more or less by reports of ap-
preciable damage from heavy hail
storms in Argentina, the wheat mar
ket averaged little higher today
during the early dealings. Besides.
unwelcome showers We're noted in
northern Argentina, where cutting of
the new wheat crop has just started.
There We're also adVices at hand that
British millerS are buying wheat in
larger quantities and that the demand
from this source is expected TO con-
tinue throughout the remainder Of the
year.
Opening prices, Z lower to IS high
er, new style. December 1882 to
1.4S34 and May. 1.431a to 1.43&4, were
were followed by a moderate general
setback and then by an upturn, with
December touching 1.49ls and May
1.44$s.
Corn was inclined 20 sag owing to
bearish forecast Of the Government
crop report. After opening unchang-
ed to % off, December 15A to 10 IS
the corn market showed slight losses
all around.
Oats were steadied by the firmness
of wheat. Starting unchanged to a
shade lower, December 3S14 TO IS Is,
the market held near to initial figures.
Lower quotations on hogs acted as
a weight on the provision market.
