VAR ON LIQUOR
SNUGGLERS
OUTLINED
By ROBERT s. THORNBURGH
TntsrnationaI News Service


All enforcement facilities available
to the Government were being de.
ployed along the Canadian border
today in what was characterized at
the Treasury az the most determined
campaign yet waged against liquor
smugglers.
Assistant Secretary Seymour Low.
man declared that airplanes. motor
vehicles, fast boats and heavily re-
inforced battalions Of prohibition. Gus
tom and coast guard agents will
operate along the border throughout
the summer and fall.
IAN effective prohibition airforce
IL being built up, chiefly for opera
tions along the international bor-
ders,", Lowman said. Already the
Prohibition Bureau has number or
planes, several Of which were cap.
tured from air.liquor smugglers.
Lowman said the planes have
proven highly effective along the
border country in studying the ac-
tlyities of Emugglers and .spotting
their movements. Through the use
OF radio the planes keep in touch
with the ground patrols.
Besides the commercial rum
| smugRlers, who transferred their
operations to the Canadian border
when the Coast Guard placed a
heavy patrol along the eastern
| coast, the border agents will be
faced with the heaviest auto tourist
season in history.
In past years tourists have been
leniently dealt with by customs
inspectors, q nominal fine Of SIS q
bottle having been assessed. Com
mercial smugglers faced heavy fines
and confiscation of their cars. :
This year. however, the Jones
law. which fixes q maximum $4,000
fine and five years in prison for
illegal importation Of intoxicants,
may be used against tourists who
are caught in the attempt f.
smuggle liquor.
Some districts disagree with the
Justice Department that the Jones
law should be used in only GER
tain class Of major cases involving
sale, manufacture, transportation
and importation.
These U. s. attorneys are ex'
pected to seek prosecution Of tour
list liquor smugglers under the
drastic "five.and.ten" law.

 It would seem to most people, and it does seem to Alaskans, that men who have spent but three weeks in an empire, one- fifth the size of the United States, and spent those few days not in interviewing the people, but all the while in the con1- pany, presence and shadow of government officials, where no member of the common herd would be welcome or would care to appear, it would appear that such men would be 8 bit tinlid about being so absolutely posi- tive that they knew all, yes ev- erything, about what ailed Alas Ia; they would, it seems to us, have tried to get away from Chambers of Commerce and Bu- reaus for a while, and take some unbiased testimony, before rush. ing into print and insulting the majority of the people O.

That the Native races are dying, largely due to the loss of their fishing and hunting and trap ping grounds? Do you know

Do you know, you who are lauding the administra- tion of our fisheries, that a trap can hook one end to shore, run out into the ocean 1000 feet or more and stand all summer, but that a seine fisherman cannot hook one end of his net to the snore for ten minutes without 6anger of prosecution and jail?

The result of such a re- gulation, and it is a bureau re- gulation, is that it gives our shores to the traps, i. e., the can neries, and deprives the resi- dents of Alaska of any right of fishery along the shores.

Since 1908 we have had just two Con- gressmen from Alaska; George Grigsby and Charles Sulzer were both seated for a time, but were both unseated later by Con- gress); Judge Wickersham, who served from 1908 to 1920, and Dan Sutherland, from 1920 until the present. Both of these men fought the bureaus and both were, have been and now are hated by them. If the people are with the bureaus, they should show it when election time comes around and vote for can- didates of the bureaus.
 Surely from years of experi- ence at the National Capital, congressmen know what bu- reaus are; have they not been declainling against them for years, both Dickinson and Sum- ners, as my memory serves? Do these gentlemen think that an Alaskan Bureau is better than the others? Indeed we know, alas, that they are worse. They gre more autocratic, and more irresponsible because they are far away and beyond the eye of Congress and public opinion.
 Permit us, gentlemen, to sub init a few facts about Alaska: Do you know that the population of Alaska is shrinking at the rate of 1000 a year and more, how much more only an accurate census will reveal? That our vote is shrinking at the rate of 1000 to 1,500 every election? That our fisheries, both salmon and halibut, are depleted, and on the point of death, and all while under czaristic bureau con-
