Uncle Sans anti-smuggling meas
ures have made the business much
more risky than usual, and the risk
goes into the retail trade. The
coast guard operates five big cruis-
ers from Seattle to San Diego, aug
mented by twenty little vessels
armed with one-pounders and ma
chine guns.
On shore, the Federal prohibition
officers maintain an extra large
Christmas force of auto patrollers.
Thus the rum smugglers must run
the gantlet of two picket lines.
So far, according to the coast
guard, no big vessel has landed its
cargo this season, and two rum
running mother Ships" one from
Belgium and the other from Ger
many, have been lying off the
Golden Gate for weeks under "lnoye
on" orders from the coast patrol.
More wine is on hand than ever
in California, and the Government

ing unless it has evidence of sale.
California has passed a drastic
anti-still law, but so far only one
