Pacific Is a Paradise
For the Bold Smugglers

Cornwall was once the smuggler's
paradise, but the title" seems now
to belong to australia, particularly
the porth coast of Queensland, &C.
cording to writer in Pearson
London Weekly.
Parts of Queensland's coast are
wild and almost entirely free from
the prying eyes of ohicialdom. Also,
sheltered from the Pacific by the
Barrier reef, many of the isolated
harborS offer calm water In which
the smugglers' craft can work east
ly and safely. Truly, smugglers'
paradise.
The Japanese have been quick to
recognize the golden opportunity
and have been dumping opium and
silk piece goods on big scale.
Knowing that it is practically i'm
impossible to patrol the whole
Queensland long coastline, the
Japs do not bother with elaborate
precautions to get the stuff ashore.
The most popular method is to
drop the goods overheard from
steamers and then pick them up in
motor-boats. When dropped in the
sea, the dope or silk is well pro-
tected by being wrapped in water
proof covers.
Once ashore, the stuff is sent down
to Brisbane and Sydney and other
cities, where certain shady whole
salers. are waiting to buy if up as
salvage stock" from a supposed
bankrupt store in the north.
One manufacturer of women S
dresses boasted to friends recently
that he could buy dress material for
a quarter of its true value. And the
worst of it is that many honest shops
are selling dresses made up from
this smuggled cloth.
The best weapon the authorities
have to fight the traffic is the dou-
decreasing nature of the crowd who
carry it on, especially as regards
opium. Often a dealer in Japan or
China will sell large consignment
of dope and, when he has collected
the cash for it, cable information
about it to the customs police in
Queensland. He collects a reward
for the information and so makes a
two-way profit.
