The Spill on the Border
THE NewSYoF Worldl

Rum row begins to look like mere trickle be-
side the flood Of liquor business disclosed by the
Canadian customs investigating commission sitting
at Windsor, Niagara Falls and other border towns
The high points in the inquiry thus far deal chiefly
with smuggling in the Detroit region. Some of
the testimony is startling. At the larger docks an
export business of $500 cases Of whisky night
was not uncommon. One expert firm controlled BY
Americans banked more than 100000 weekly A
dock owner at Ford, Ont testified to receiving 81
700 month for the shipping business of single
d:stillery One bootlegger acknowledged in court
yearly business of 100000 with Detroit Ac-
cording to the auditor of the Canadian commission
partial returns show that in 1926 liquor valued at
$2O,5OO,OO0 crossed the border near Detroit; this
was at Canadian prices-American prices would be
several times as much; and the estimate did no.

a large nrecorded business. The ramifications of
the trade reached all over the middle west and was
the chief source of supply for Chicago, st. Louis
and other large cities.
All this is disclosed not by our vigilant prohib;-
ton service, but by Canadian authorities who are
alarmed by the corruption and criminality which
our laws have bred. Our volstead act made SNUG
giers by hundreds They were just as willing to
smuggle in both directions as in one. The Niagara

PRESBYTERIAN PENSION PLAN
RECEIVES VALUABLE AID

Heads of three of the largest cor
porations in the word have endorsed
the proposed pension plan of the
Presbyterian Church, U. S. A., as
being sound business as well as hum
unitarian, it was announced today at
state headquarters for the Minnesota
campaigns, now being held in con-
nection with campaigns in fourteen
states from Illinois to California to
complete the $15,000,0O0 fund
needed to- start the plan to furnish
pensions for aged and disabled min
listers. About 100000 has been
raised in the east and the balance
must be pledged before May % when
the church's General Assembly meets
in San Francisco.
The three, endorsements came
from Judge E. H. Gary, head of the
U. S. Steel Corporation, Walter c..
Teagle, president of the Standard
Oil Co., IN. j., and w. S. Clifford,
president of the American Telephone
& Telegraph Co. They were added
to the endorsement recently made by
Edward D. Duffield, president of the
Prudential Life Insurance Co., who
frankly stated that the Presbyterian
pension plan not only is safe and
sound actuarily, but provides more
for the minister than his insurance
company could give for the money
paid.

in the enlarged Superior Forest as
