was the pointed query.
'I'm here, ana I'm going TO
stay here" replied Parks.
'Well, you've had . warning.

Then the receiver banged, and
Parks has been wondering all day

Canada to Ban Rum
Exports to L. s.

OTTAWA, March is Q.N.S0.-
Canaia hummed with excitement
today over the issue which has
developed over a bill to prohibit
clearance for craft carrying liquor
to the United States. Indications
are that the measure, which was
given q second reading in the
House Of Commons late last
night, will be passed.
Premier w. L. Mackenzie King
not only introduced the bill but
gave it his most vigorous support.
contending a grave peril" to
Canada is involved in the con-
tinued export Of liquor to the
United States.
One Opposed
The only speaker to oppose the
bill was G. G. Power, O Liberal
Of Quebec. He declared the
measure would have the effect of
increasing hootlegging. He
thought it would result in violence
on the part Of the United States
revenue officers against Canadian
citizens.
r. B.sBennett, opposition leader,
indicated he would support the
measure although he is not in
sympathy with the arguments
advanced in its behalf by Premier
King. The bill has the support
Of the conservative opposition.
The Washington times., 1930-03-15

Premier King contented the
present situation as regards the
clearanceS of craft carrying
liquor affords a link between
the brewery and diStillery and
the criminal element"
Situation IntOlerable
He declared Canada could not
afford to have its position cap
able Of Interpretation in any
such light by any country in
the world. Such condition would
be "distaStefuI" to the people of
Canada. They have tolerated
these conditions, he said, because
they have failed to realize the
aspect of the situation.
$50 perilouS do I believe the
situation to be-" declared Premier
King, ''I would no longer assume
responsibility in a matter of
external affairs In this regard
II I were not sure I had the
support of parliament in any
policy I believe necessary to
prevent a condition which might
preve perilouS-or II I failed to
receive support Of the people OF
Canada In q matter as grave as
this" ~.
Premier King thought the

arising between Great Britain and

arise at any moment on the
