AMERICAN PROHIBITION
TREATY WITH CANADA MUCH BOBDEB SMUGGLING. Special to “Chronicle.") AUCKLAND, April 27. Speaking of prohibition in the United States and its effect on Canada, Mr. Ernest La Pointe, who arrived by the Aorangi from Vancouver, stated that a commission was now sitting in Canada to consider the best means of preventing the smuggling of liquor into the United States. As a result of the commission, he anticipated that there would be changes in the treaty made two years ago between the United States and Canada which would be of benefit to both countries. There was no doubt, he said, that quantities of liquor were passing from Canada across the border and silken goods, etc., were being brought back in exchange. Mr. La Pointe stated that Canadians were greatly interested in New Zealand and naturally favoured any closer trade relations.
