EXTREME MINISTER IS

Canadian Minister of Customs Dis claims Release of Dcnatured
 Alcohol

Ottawa, Ont. July so P)-Accus- ing former Prime Minister W. L. Mackenzie King of "dastardly in- nuendo," H. H. Stevens, minister of customs In the new conservative government has issued an open let ter to him, in connection with re- cent alcoholic poisoning in Canadian border cities.
 Criticizing MT, Kings speech of a few days ago at Sarnia, Mir. Stevens accused the liberal leader of trying to leave in the public mind "the thought that l am personally re- sponsible, for the deaths of these victims of alcoholic poisoning"
 MT. Stevens states that, immedi- ately on taking office, he gave or ders that not another ounce of de- natured alcohol was to be released from any Canadian bond and that this order was being strictly ob- served.
 Therefore, the letter continues If any of this poisonous alcohol is still to be obtained in the Dominion of Canada, it is alcohol that you and your colleagues released on the un- suspecting public, and I may say that from the middle of December last up to your inglorious exit from office, your government distributed over 175,00o gallons of this poison ous connection for beverage pur- poses"

 ON ARMS CONSIDERED
Coolidge to Be Asked Opinion on Mexican
 Shipments

Washington, July 30 [Pl-R emoval of the embargo which forbids ship 'ment of arms into Mexico is under consideration here. and President Coolidge will be asked to decide whether such a step shall be taken.
 There are indications that some time may elapse before a decision is made, meantime the state depart ment refuses to disclose it's views on the subject, meeting all inquiries with the terse statement that the embargo still is in effect.
 Extreme caution has resulted from the fact that removal of the restric- tions has come up for decision at a time when the situation inMeXico Is perhaps as tense as when the em- bargo was proclaimed in 1924, and now Is complicated by religious is sues between the government and churches of that country.
 It is known, however, that some officials of the Washington govern ment, despite announcement that Mexican troops are being held in readiness for action. confidently be- lieve the situation win quickly moderate.
 Because of these circumstances, a decision on cancellation of the em- bargo is not expected until condi tons in the southern republic show a more definite trend,
 The embargo order was issued in 1924 when the De La Huerta reVolu- tion was in progress, and was de- signed principally to prevent Amer ican arms reaching revolutionists. It prohibited any private arms ship ments into Mexico from the United Sfofes
