Topples From, Disabled Vets
 LegiOnaire
Hazel D. Petrich

An order for 12,OOO poppies was placed by the American Legion Auxiliary, Department of Alaska, with the Department of Wash lngton. These poppies have been made by the disabled veterans Tn the Walla Walla hospital, W n ere ex-service men from Alaska are also quartered. A communication from the De- partment Secretary, Hazel Ab- dill, of Washington, advises that although only a certain number of poppies had been ordered, the veterans were allowed to make several thousand more because Of their eagerness to earn money.
 While the order for 12,OOO pop pies is only 500 more than that of last year, even this small a. mount helps-and the need for funds this year is greater than ever before The poppies are to be sold May 27 and 23 by the members of the Auxiliary to pro- vide funds for welfare work a. nlong children of deceased and disabled ex-servicemen, and the ex-service men themselves.
 The annual poppy sale of the Auxiliary fills a two-fold pur- pose. It provides funds for this welfare work, and enables dis abled veterans receiving no gov .ernment compensation the op- portunity to earn a bit of money for their necessities. For each poppy made the veteran is given three cents, and a total of $360 will be distributed among the veterans at Walla Waila Hospital from the Department of Alaska this year. It is the policy of the Auxiliary to use the money for relief work in the community in which it was raised, resulting in Girect benefits for individual community efforts.
 Petersburg is to receive 600 peoples to be sold during Poppy week. Help the veterans by buy ing a poppy.

Decision Affects
 American Vessels

TT e Canadian ministry CT justice has decided not to appeal the decision of the British Co., lUmbia Admiralty Court return ing the Tacoma purse seiner st. Patrick to her owners. Upon re- 'ceiving the decision of the court. Andrew G, Haley, attorney for the American owners, interview ed American State Department officials and the State Depart ment immediately telegraphed the American minister at Otta- wa instructions to urge immedi- ate release of the St. Patrick be- cause of the entirely favorable decision of the court.
 This closes a most interesting episode of international law, de- cjding among other things that in the boundary waters of Wash ington Sound, the Strait of Juan de F'uca and HarO Strait, an American fishing boat to be q trespasser must be within three marine miles of the Canadian coast line. In other words, even though the boundary line itself extends five miles from the Ca- nadian coast line and American vessels are actually in Canadian waters, nevertheless to violate the Canadian law they must move to a point within three miles before they may be seized.
 The St. Patrick was seized last fall by a Canadian fisheries cruiser.-Seattle Times.

Tariff Reprisal
 Planned in B. C.

Possibility that British Colum- bia will take counter tariff mea : sureS if the United States im- poses duties which are consider ed prohibitive on Canadian copper, lumber and coal, and which are now before the United States, was seen when Attorney General R. H. Pooley, acting premier, admitted that such a program is being contemplated.
 If the United States tariff in- creaSeS go into effect the British Columbia government will as.., the Dominion government to im- pose an export duty on asbestos and nickle and an import duty of $5 per ton on United States coal entering Canada. In addi- tion the provincial government, acting within it's own jurisdic- tion, may impose an individual inspection fee on all citrus fruits, apples and vegetables imported into the province.

Declares Gouren't
 Cannot Conspire

On Thursday the 18th, United states Commissioner Elliott of Seattle refused trial to two sheet-metal workers on t h t ground that the United States Government cannot legally go out and entice men to break the law. The men had been arrested for agreeing to make still for dry agents of San Francisco.
 Federal officials have right along conspired with men to violate the prohibition laws liquor has been planted in auto mobiles, in residences on the person; they have conspired to aid in the manufacture of beer and "moonshine" and in many instances it is shown that they have personally benefited by the conspiracy: To protect the special vice ring with which they were associated they were dili- gent in arresting petty larceny beer and shine" makers as a cover to permit the unhampered operations of their own co-con- spirators. It is even pointed out that men who are or have been members of liquor rings secure appointment as enforcement of- ficials primarily for the protec- tion of the gang. And most generally those formerly con- nected in such way are known and their own conduct following is usually intolerant of the little offender while he is perfectly blind to tn corporations of the big offender.
