From Dominion.

~ the Associated Press.
OTTAWA, May 22.-W. D. Euler
= minister of national revenue, in speech
ia the House OF Commons yesterday,
said that liquor cargoes from Canada
had been landed in United States ports
day and night without interference and
sometimes with the aid Of enforcement
officers -.
His speech was devoted particularly
70 the defense of the position of the
Canadian government in refusing to
withhold clearance papers from ships
carving LIQUOR to the United states.
Canada is doing all 1t reasonably can
to as - the United States in stopping
LIQUOR straffsc across the border. he said
adAbaR that the problem is one OF the
Omitted States own making, for which
Canada was not responsible.
Special Case Cited.
He described trip he had made on
a boat engaged in liquor traffic. The
vessel was within sight of the United
States port for which she was bound
during the entire trip, he said.
In Detroit he asked bootleggers how
II was that their supplies crossed the
river in an uninterrupted stream day
or night. He said he asked them where
the United States revenue Officers were
that they did not prevent the trade.
TT Just happens that they are not
there when we go across" was the reply
he received.
Liquor vessels. he said landed their
cargoeS within 100 yards Of the United
States customs offices in a certain city
where they dock Sometimes it, took
three hours to unload their cargoes
and they actually were assisted by Of
ficers OF the dry squad"
Doubts Prevention Of Smuggling.
He expressed doubt whether refusal
10 issue cIearanceS to liquor vessels
would prevent smuggling into the United
States. explaining that liquor would be
exported illegally and that a larger Gus
toms force would be required by Canada
to keep down that trafiic!y
I'm the light of statements. I have
made in connection with the lack of
effort on the part of the United States
to enforce their own law, ] think we
might at least go slow until we have
some assurance and some evidence that
they are trying to do for themselves
what they are now asking US to do for
them" he concluded.
