WASHINGTON COMMENTS
(United Press Association —By Eleotrio Telegraph—Copyright)
WASHINGTON, 27th March. ; Regarding the Canadian Government’s liquor clearance law Treasury officials said that while about the same Prohibition and Customs forces will be maintained on the border after the Bill’s passage until its actual effect is known, officials anticipate a material reduction in personnel later, agents being transferred to other parts of the country, notably Chicago and New York : . The sea-going coastguard craft no‘w on the Great Lakes will be transferred .to the North Atlantic rum blockade, for on the theory that as soon as one Prohibition problem is solved another springs ’up in its place, officials anticipate that the Canadian rum smugglers will transfer .their activities to the North Atlantic, with headquarters at St. Pierre, Miquelen and the Bahamas, since Canadian liquor could be cleared legally thereto and :c----shipped to the United States.
