bar CANADIAN MILK
FROM MONTREAL ZONE
Govt. Orders Embargo to
Prevent Typhoid Spread
Into States

Washington, March % LP-An
embargo has been placed by the
American government on all ship
ments OF milk and cream originat-
ing within zoo miles of Montreal be-
cause OF an outbreak OF typhoid
fever in Montreal.
The action was taken by the
treasury department, which admin
listers the customs regulations, at
tho request of the agriculture de-
partment's bureau OF chemistry as
a safeguard to the health OF the
people of northeastern United States
whose supplies OF milk and cream
are received from the territory un-
der suspicion.
Tho embargo will ROMAN in eff
feet until the sources Of infection of
the Montreal typhoid epidemic has
been definitely determined and elm
mated.
Official announcement probably
will be issued by the department Of
agriculture later. SO far the only
notification received by the Canadian
legation has been a verbal one that
the embargo is already in effect.
The departments bureau of chem
istry is investigating the whole ques
ton of sources of supply and trans
portation routes of Canadian milk,
but nothing has been disclosed as to
the possibility of the embargo being
extended to a still larger area. II
already affects a large dairyins dis
trict in eastern Ontario as well as
q big slice of the province Of Quebec.
The Canadian legation is arrang
ing to facilitate the hearing by the
United States authorities of Cana
dams affected by the milk and cream
regulations made by the last Con-
gress. During the next few months
special board will publicly invcs"
tigate the whole question before
working ont the final details of the
proposed inspection and cer'ification
