MUST ENFORCE OWN LAW
AMERICA AND LIQUOR CANADA REJECTS TREATY (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) OTTAWA, Friday. The United States to-day failed to obtain the consent of the Canadian Government to a proposed treaty for the use of drastic efforts to suppress the annual shipment of £20,000,000 worth of illicit liquor from the Dominion. A conference between American and Canadian officials, which was held in Ottawa for several days, ended without result. The United States wanted Canada to agree to refuse to issue papers to vessels clearing for United States ports with cargoes of liquor. The American delegates departed with the feeling that the Canadian opinion is that America must make more strenuous effort to enforce her own laws to stop smuggling before coming for help to a neighbouring country.
