LIQUOR SMUGGLING
PRECAUTIONS ON CANADIAN COAST. OTTAWA, Canada. Intensification of the battle against liquor smuggling along the Canadian coasts is now taking place. Canadian preventive forces are armed with new legal powers to chase and search vessels of British registry under 500 tons and in some instances vessels over 500 tons within 12 miles of the coast instead of the regulation threemile limit as heretofore. Previously the officers had power to search only vessels of Canadian registry outside the three-mile limit. An agreement between the Canadian Government and the United Kingdom recently gave this authority to the force allowing them to search not only vessels registered in the United Kingdom but also those registered in Newfoundland, the British West Indies and other British Colonies.
