LIQUOR FIGHT
IS UNSOLVED
REPORT SAYS
Major Part Of Illegal
Booze Said Coming
From Canada by At
torney General

WASHINGTON. Dec. 4.-L1-The
fight against the smuggling Of
liquor from Canada into the United
States which has been a major prob
line Of the prohibition enforcement
authorities during the past year was
declared TO be still unsolved in the
annual report Of the department 81
justice transmitted today to con-
gress by Attorney General Sargent.
The Canadian ltuation was dealt
with by Mrs. Mabel Walker WILLIE
brandt, assistant attorney general in
charge of prohibition enforcement,
whose report was Incorporated in
the attorney generals report. She
said that, while the federal authori-
ties were successfully combating
the illegal entry Of liquor frcm the
high seas. approximately 900
worth If liquor a month was snug
gled across the Canadian border.
Mrs. Willebrandt quoted statistics
issued by the department Of trade
and commerce of Canada. which she
declared showed that there were
t,169,002 gallons Of whiskey alone.
valued at $ls,SS3, SAL, exported TO the
United States in 1928.
These figures given cover the ex-
p~ortations Of whiskey only" Mrs.
Willebrandt said. "and the same rec-
ords show that the total of all alco-
holic beverages exported to the
United States from Canada during
the year ending June 80. 1928.
amounted 10 $24,397. 1853. As observed
heretofore, these records show only
the liquor which was regularly clear
ed through Canadian customs. Some
of it may be short circuitcd for con-
sumption in Canada. On the other
hand, it is believed a substantial
amount Of liquor enters the United
States acros the northern border Of
which the Canadian customs has no
record"
On Increase
Mrs. Willebrandt said that the fig
ures showed that the volume Of the
