Treasury officers to Hold
Final Conference in
Detroit Tomorrow.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A final conference of Treasury officers
to lay plans for q campaign against
Canadian bootleggers. who, in a year.
have exported 1924 900 gallons of liquor
from towns opposite the Detroit area
to the United States, will be held in
Detroit tomorrow.
Seymour Lowman, Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury, who Thursday ordered
all available customs and prohibition
agents into the Detroit section. sum-
moned commanding officers of the
be present at the meeting were Prohibi-
ton Commissioner Doran, Bernard
Waite, deputy customs commissioner;
M. w. Rasmussen, commander of the
Great Lakes division of the Coast Guard !;
Thomas F. Stone, prohibition admins
traitor for Michigan, and his aides, and
E. r. Norwood, veteran customs inspec-
tor, who has been appointed CO.
ordinator of the forces ordered to
Detroit.
Lowman announced he had ordered
the Coast Guard to send 10 75-foot
Coast Guard boats and II picket boats
to the west end of Lake Erie to prevent
the Smugglers using that outlet to the
Eastern part Of the country after the
combined forces begin their work in
the section between Erie and Huron.
Figures made public by the Customs
Bureau yesterday showed that from
April l, 1928, to May /, 1929, statistics
of the Canadian government on liquor
exports included the expectation of
1.569,606 cases of liquor for points In
this country, from the Canadian lakes
section. The reports were made from
Windsor, VAUDEVILLE, Sombra, Sarnia,
Sandwich and Point Edward, Canadian
towns on the border between Lakes
Erie and Huron.
The figures showed there was a de-
crease in the number of cases exported
to this country In April. In March the
expectations aggregated 1889 cases,
while in April only II .430 cases were
exported. The expectations included
ale, beer. wine, whisky, gin and other
spirits.
The decrease was attributed by
Treasury officials to the establishment
of new border patrol at Detroit after
the investigation into the situation
there, which resulted in the indictment
of 81 and conviction of IL members Of
the American customs force on charges
of conspiring with Canadian bootleggers
to smuggle liquor into this country.

in political life in England he would
have taken his own career and the
career Of his party In his hands and
done away with the dole. OF course
he would have been defeated over

industries to get the dole.
From the first have hated the dole.
1t is degrading to the British working

with the transa tlantic flight of the
Swedish plane Sverige from Stockholm
to New York. as it has not been possible
as yet to lay down an emergency sup

Arrangements were. made by the
Swedish consul in Montreal Magnus

Reports from Battle Harbor intimate
that the Sagona has already made three
unsuccessful attempts to navigate the
strait this year, and 1t would seem
that yet another will meet with a SINH

The Swedish consul general cabled
his foreign office today advising that
the benzol might not be landed at Bat

be necessary 10 descend on the Labrador

the most favorable locality on the lake.
The officers Of the Anticosti Corpora

for friendly discussion and agreement
between the United States and other
powers with ourselves, l hope to be able
TO pay a short visit to Geneva at the
opening of the next meeting OF the As
sembly of the League of Nations"
This statement seemed to bear out
press predictions that the new premier
who in his last government held the
portfolio of foreign affairs, still intends
10 devote much of his attention TO for
eign affairs.
Mr.. Macdonald asserted that his gov
eminent would work for peace in in
