ENFORCING PROHIBITION.
AID FROM! CANADA. OPPOSITION IN CABINET. AFFAIR OF STATES ONLY. By Telegraph— Association—Copyrifhi. (Received 8.5 p.m.) A. and N.Z OTTAWA. Feb. 9. Due to a difference of opinion among Cabinet Ministers, it is understood that the conference to consider Canadian aid to the United States in the enforcement of prohibition will not result in very effective measures to stop boundary rum-running. The Prime Minister, Mr. W. L. Mackenzie King, believes that Canada should make every effort to support the United States' prohibition effort*, but several Ministers think that the Volstead Law is the concern of the United States alone and enforcement is solely feer problem. It is understood that the Minister for Customs, Mr. J. , Bureau, expresses the opinion of the anti-piohibition group, which makes its desires strongly felt in the party councils. Rum-n<nners meanwhile show) littlfj concern one way or the other, declaring that if great restrictions should be enforced greater prices will be obtained after the cargoes are landed in the United States.
