BIG land DRIVE.
IN rum WAR
STARTS
Powerful Motor Cars Rushed
to Canadian Border for
New Offensive
By ROBERT s. THORNBURGH.

DX hVOG8DA Os OsAAAOAN4NA1N@ASAA1A n
A new land offensive in the Gov
ernment's rapidly spreading rum
war started today when q squad
ron of powerful motor cars was
rushed to the Canadian border in
Maine, Vermont. and New York.
The move. the Treasury an.
nounced. marks the beginning Of
complete .mCtorization OF the Gus.
toms border patrol. not only along
the Canadian line In the northeast,
but on all international borders Of
the United States.
Virtual collapse Of rum.smuggling
from the sea along the New York
sector brought sudden activities Of
the liquor runners over the north
ern borders. necessitating drastic
Methods on the part of the Govern
ment to cork up the new hole,
Treasury officials declared.
More than 160 automobiles have
been seized by the customs authori.
ties In the Northeastern States in
tho past week. The small cars will
be sold but the hiEh-powered type
win be converted into anti-smug-
Cling machines.
Fourteen cars were sent to north.
ern Vermont, seven to northern
New York, and three each to Buff
falo. Rochester and Portland, Me.
The Treasury said that the Can
Adian border patrol, aimed at keep
ing out aliens and narcotics, as
well az liquor, has been opened
formally for the summer. Tourists,
who in the past have been notorious
rum snaugglers, will be watched, az
well az the professional liquor deal
ers, who are reported to be Snug
Cling in a vast Quantity OF whiskey,
The Government has established
q motor transport center at Malone,
N. Y, in the st. Lawrence customs
district Reinforcements to the new
motorized border patrol are held
there under command of Customs
Collector John C. Tulloch of Og-
densburg, N, Y.
A mobile force Of reserves, capa-
BILE Of being dispatched to any dan
ger point along the border where
big smuggling projects are reported
will be kept in readiness at Malone
for movement night or day.
The customs secret service has
Jeen increased and agents are work
ret information Of future rum
movements. ~
Motorization of the customs pa
troll farther west along the Can
Ldian border and on the Mexican
boundary will be accomplished
within the next few weeks. In
this manner the Government be-
HeVes it will be in a position to
make the border patrol as effective
as Coast Guard operations
Motorcycles Too Risky.
Motorcycles, on which the border
patrol was mounted last year, have
been discarded because Of the large
number Of serious accidents result
ing from their use. A number Of
incidents where rum runners
crowded the motorcycle patrol off
the road, killing or injuring the
Government agents. have been re-
ported.
Touring cars of fifty or more
horse power, will be used exclusive
ly, the Treasury announced.

ECONOMIC Loss
SEEN IN rum
TRADE
Takes Capital From Legiti-
mate Business. Department
of Commerce Finds

Heavy economic losses attending
operation of the illicit whiskey
business were pointed out today
by Department of Commerce Off
ciAls, presenting q new phase Of
the problem which has not yet
been fully investigated by the
Government.
While Secretary Hoover is irl-
clined to the view that the liquor
situation is basically a moral
issue. he told international News
Service that it has many eco
lnomic ramifications.
Millions Spent Annually.
Millions of dollars are spent in
gnited States annually for bootleg
liquor. A tremendous sum Is in.
vested in seagoing vessels, coast
wise craft, automobile trucks and
ether means for movement Of the
amuggIed and illegally manufac-
tured liquor, according to J. III. Nc
Laffefty, assistant to Mr.. Hoover.
These expenditures and invest
ments withdraw from legitimats
business 4 certain sum that could
~ used profitably in usual chan.
kofB Of trade, according to Off.
eihls. These operations Of the So
called liquor trust are counter
20 currents OF legitimate business.
creating conflicting movements
having q decidedly adverse inf1u-
ence upon the American economic
fabric, McLsafferty observed.
It was pointed out that the liquor
traffic draws into It's ranks q great
number OF men, some OF whom
otherwise would be occupied in
productive industry. indirectly de-
Veloping another economic loss that
IA the end must be absorbed by
the general public when the bill
for the privilege of living in United
States is paid
Great Economic waste
Aside from its moral phases
Government economic experts re-
gard the rum traffic as among the
great blots on the countryss econ
omic system, putting it down az
one Of the far flung wastes that
make the cost OF living probably
higher in United States than any
other country.
Like all other economic wastes
that are being Investigated by the
Department OF Commerce, the rum
trade simply contributes its share
" increased living costs that must
~ paid BY the public, whether or
not It is wet or dry McLafferiy
naid.
"Whiie II Is not q problem for
investigation in the Departments

practices from business and indus
try that the people may live better
and cheaper, It is one which merits
attention from q purely economic
standpoint. =
