Officers Tell Of
Smuggling and
It's Many Tricks

Ottawa, April 1s.-(R)-Ths snug
gler's life is a busy one. Many of
the ingenious tricks which he sits
up nights to contrive are being dis
closed in the hearings in progress
here in the course Of an investiga-
ten of the Canadian customs.
The United States custom officers
at the border are driven hard TO
keep up with the flood OF liquor
flowing from Canada but Il isn't
One-way traffic. Raw alcohol in
huge drums sent from New York
to Montreal crosses the boundary
line loaded on motor trucks and on
the quiet country roads passes a long
string of trucks and cars bound
southwark with cargoes of bottled
whiskey buried in hay or beer dis
guised as ginger ale. Wearing ap-
parel and cigarettes are Struggled
past the guards and brought into
Canada without paying toll.
Rum runners are evading the ex-
else impost on alcohol distilled in
Canada by bringing from the United
States to Montreal the basic ingred-
tents of synthetic liquor as chemical
compounds. They dilute, color and
favor the 100 percent alcohol and
One member of the investigating
committee expressed amusement
that the "moonshine trails" to New
York state ever were left unguarded.
A customs inspector who keeps soIi-
tary watch over one of the trails re-
torted that the government could
not expect perpetual insomnia at
5000 year."
The automobile bandit who steals
in the United States and sells in
Canada is one of the big problems.
He isn't discouraged If his booty Is
seized by the authorities. Sooner
or later the car is auctioned off for
about the amount of the duty and
bandit does not hesitate to buy Il
back. Sometimes his agent succeeds
in getting the car at a private sale
for the amount Of the duty and GUS
toms penalties.
On one occasion a man trying TO
run car across the border was stop
ped and promised to follow the in
spectors car to the custom house
When the inspector stepped out the
other car had disappeared. On the
same night two other cars were
caught but were released when the
drivers paid the customs penalties.
! '<e''Ni II " Go tldI Gil kIlIcS
cars had been stolen.
| A former smuggler applied 10 the
government for post in the customs
! inspection service. At the investiga-
ton he frankly admitted that he had
been Gin the game" for fifteen years
and asserted that his knowledge of
its ins and outs qualified him to
catch other smugglers.
DO you really admit that you were
smuggler?" asked one of the COM
mitteemen.
/ rs there a man In this room -
asked another member of the COM
mittee. who has not smuggled at
some time or other?''
| Opium comes in under the guise of
a heart medicine, birds of paradise
are cleared as talcum powder and
silk is buried in a crate Of cabbages
and delivered on a Montreal street
corner to smuggler who has no iden-
! tity except an alias. When the noun
ted police and customs inspectors dis
cover these things they invariably
find that they have been shipped from
fictitious address in New York.
1t is expected that the investisa-
ton will continue for several months.
