To cite bat a le instances - !ready proven®_
from its appalling record of malfeasance
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.
Corrupt officials were unpunished and promoted; honest
officials`were punished and demoted,
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 Canadian consumers, with
the direct knowledge and co-operation of Government officials.

Police officers members of the incorruptible Royal Canadian
Mounted—were withdrawn from froni the Quebec boundary line at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 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
of it, that they had succeeded in tracing down at their own
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.

7 A total revenue loss estimated at $35,000,000 per year was the
result of the smuggling thus condoned by the King Govern.
ment.
la 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 $53,000. This deal was consummated just
previous to the last election.
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. !�
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.
.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 - Qctober, 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 otit 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.
C .Ider was .a Liberal candidate in the last election, and despite the further fact that the c.•::mmittee sat
almost daily for five months, thus affording Liberal members ample opportunity t uncover malfeasance
on the part of previous ministries, of one W rd of proof, not one bre r! th of suspicion, was brought
against the administration t•: f the Customs Department under the L warier, B • wren .and a ' 1 eighen Govern-
ments, but ,,MnIy against its administration under Mr. William Ly • > n ''. acKenzie King !
Has anything m, ,re disgraceful ever besmirched th pages ;s,f Canadian\
history ? Can a proud and , honourable nati n, whose people fear God
and eschew evil, afford to condone such dishonesty, sucli corruption,
on the p rt s,'f its leaders and public servants
