With the customs investigation still far from finished, the King Government
already stands convicted of having co-operated with smugglers, bootleggers,
dopesters and thieves, and of having thus been a party to defrauding the
National Treasury, strangling legitimate business, debauching officials, high
and low, thwarting the administration of justice, and bribing the electorate 1
To cite but a few instances --already proven --
from its appalling record of malfeasance
1
2
Stolen automobiles, smuggled into Canada with the connivance
of Customs officials, were sold for a pittance to friends of the
King Government, and those found guilty were allowed not
only to go unpunished, but to continue their nefarious trade.
Smuggled liquor selling was engaged in ' on a large scale by
Customs officials whose duty it was to protect the Treasury.
3 Corrupt officials were unpunished and promoted; honest
officials were punished:and dernoted.
4 Prison- made goods are on the prohibited list, yet tons and
tons of such goods, produced in prisons where contagious
diseases were prevalent among the inmates, were smuggled
into Canada for sale to innocent Canadianconsumers, with.
the direct knowledge and co-operation of Government officials.
5 Police officers -members of the incorruptible Royal Canadian
Mounted—were, withdrawn from the Quebec boundary line at
the request of the smuggling ring. Honest traders had asked
for increased police protection, ,but the King Government
preferred to grant the request of those who ,were defrauding
the public revenue.
Guilty knowledge knowledge even in 1923 of the frauds that were being
practised has been proven against the King Government
beyond the shadow of a doubt. Time and again, in 1924 and
1925, the Commercial Protective Association -an organization
of business men—placed before Mr. King irrefutable evidences
°fit, that they had succeeded in tracing down' at thein ows'it
expense. With his Government hopelessly entangled with
Canada's criminal element, Mr. King did not -dared not—
take any action to remedy the appalling conditions.
6
'% A total revenue loss estimated at $35,000,000 per year was the
result of the smuggling thus 'condoned by the King Govern-
ment.
8 A $54,800 loss was sustained in one case alone when Mr.
Cardin, Acting Minister of Customs and Excise, settled for
.$3,200 with a dishonest importer, who, according to Mr.
Cardin's own officials, had cheated the Treasury out of duties
amounting to $58,000. This deal was consummated just
previous to the last election.
9 Free liquor, from Government warehouses in Montreal, was
supplied in generous quantities to members of the King Gov-
ernment and to Government officials in Ottawa, in contra-
vention both of the Federal Law and the Prohibition Law of
Ontario.
1 o The habit-forming drug traffic is one of the worst curses in
the world today. Under the protection of the King Govern-
ment, Montreal became one of the great dope -distributing
centres%of North America.
11 The peak of this corruption, and of this interference with the
Customs collection and the administration of justice, is proven
by the evidence to have been reached just prior to the general
election of . October, 1925, when, at the written request of
Liberal candidates, Ministers of the Crown called off the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police because they were enforcing
the law, kept convicted crooks out of jail, and sanctioned
•
Treasury frauds as a means of securing the return of the King
Government to power.
Despite the fact that with Mr. Kennedy supporting them, the Liberals had a majority on the Investigation
Committee, that the Chairman Mr. Mercier was a Liberal, ;. and that the Prosecuting Counsel Mr.
Caldeir was a Liberal candidate in the last election, and :destii'te the further fact that the committee sat
almost daily fon five months, thus affording Liberal members ample opportunity to uncover malfeasance
` .
on the part of ..previous ministries, not one word of proof, not eine breath of suspicion, scion,was browg
ht
against the administration of the Customs Department under the Laurier, Borden and Meighen Govern-
ments, but only against its administration under Mr. William Lyon MacKenzie King d -
Has anything., more disgraceful ever besmirched the pages of Canadian
history ? Can a proud and honourable nation, whose people fear God
and eschew evil, dford to . condone such dishonesty, such corruption,
on the part of its. • aders and public servants ?

During the past few years The
Western Fair has grown to an im

before has it assumed the great pro-

Permanent improvements have
been made throughout especially to
the live stock buildings which will
house a live stock show of exception-
al interest. Among the many feat-
ures in this important event willbe
the showing of one of the best Ho/ -

RETURNS PROM TRIP TO ORIENT
OId friends of Mr Doble, who sit
years ago was the miller for Harvey;
Bros., were delighted to have a call
from him recently. After leaving
here he went to Edmonton. District
for twenty years but now resides in
Toronto. Mr. Doble is just return-
ing from an extended trip to Edmon-
ton, Vancouver, Japan, China and
the Philippines. During a short in-
terveiw we had with him he gaveue
the following interesting informa-
tion gathered during his trip—"Ja,
pan," he said, "was, like a beehive;
swarming. On the trains there was-
n't standing room. I was much int-
pressed by the busy island -where no
one was idle." Yokohoma, where
the great earthquake was two years
ago, is being rebuilt of solid -steel
and concrete although the huge
breakwater of other: days is still a
wreck. Two modern elevators cap-
able of holding two million bushels
provide for the growing wheatinc-
ports of wheat from Vancouver and
Prince Rupert. Every ship of the C.
P. R. line brings its load of wheat..
In Shanghai, China, some of the
finest looking buildings are along
the Bou Boulevarde. For three
blocks along the water -front the ex-
tremely congested district is in
marked contrast with the resident -
al section. In the Philippines he
found Manila a. fine city of 550,000
people. The old city is still sur-
rounded by its wonderful wall. The
remains of the Spanish Fiett:, sisnit
by Dewey, are still lying in the har-
bor. He found the Philippines stilt
mistrustful of the Americans, and,
filled with fond hopes of becoming
an independant nation some. day. As
a result the Americans fear them
and consequently progress is very,
slow, the Americans being 1oa .•, ,
invest money in a country whose fu-
ture is so uncertain. In aur Caua
dian West he saw nothing but the
finest prospects for a magnificent
crop this season. The acreage is 'up
to the average, while the crop is
looking extra well and is at least
weeks earlier than usual.
