Liquor Facts From the Canadian Border Conflict
A Corry Journal item reports on the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment collecting figures. It notes Canada ships $80 million worth of liquor annually to American ports through border customs, with only 12 percent captured or destroyed on the U S side. It argues the nation pays over $100 million yearly due to the illicit flow, including booter profits, bribes, taxes, and distiller profits. The piece calls for action to halt this cross border traffic and improve relations and safety, while noting little agreement on possible remedies.
