RUM RUNNERS USE

Canadians Obey Ban on
Liquor to U. S. by Chang

■pedal Dispatch tp The Star.
OTTAWA, Ontario, August 7.—There
Were no declared exports of liquor to
the United States last month, according
to official figures released here, but the
hi* rum shipments that formerly crossed ;
the Internationa 1 border have been
diverted to the French Islands of St.
Pierre and Miquelon, in the Gulf of
St. Lawrence. •
In other words, Canada has lived
Up to her bargain of prohibiting liquor
exports to the United States, but the
rum runners have solved the difficulty
by using St. Pierre and Miquelon as
the base of operations.
Island Cargoes Grow.
As a matter of fact, last month 178,-
668 gallons of whisky • were shipped
from Canada to various countries, as
compared with 164,957 gallons in July,
1829. Then, however, 74,901 gallons
of “hard stuff” was exported to the
United States against none so cleared
during July this year.
Those exports to St. Pierre and
Miquelon clear the situation. In July,
1929, when the Canadian Government
permitted liquor to be sent into the
United States, only 19,021 gallons were

exported to these two French Islands.
Last month, however, the exports to St.
Pierre and Miquelon jumped to 113.-
219 gallons— proving that the rum run
ners had changed their base.
Brewer* Suffer.
Ale and beer shipped to the United
States in July, 1929, totaled 143,008
gallons, while last month this business
dropped off to nothing—and Canadian
brewers suffered. No gin was exported
across the border last month, but in
the July of the previous year 2,508
gallons were shipped.
It is estimated here that the Cana
dian Government last month lost $750,-
000 in revenue as a result of the law
barring liquor exports to the United
States.

NEW ORLEANS. August 7. —Frank
Mullen, identified by authorities as a
former convict, and “Rube” Chisholm
shot each other to death early today in
a gun fight at a residential street inter
section.
Chisolm was identified by nearby
residents, who said they were awakened
by five shots and the sound of a woman
screaming.
A search was begun for the woman,
and authorities advanced the theory
that one of the men attempted to hold
up the other and met with resistance.

RUSSIANS DEMAND
‘HANDS OFF’ IN CHINA
Communists of World Urged to
Oppose Intervention With
Revolution.
By tlie Associated Press.
MOSCOW, August 7.—Pravda, mouth
piece of the Communist party, yesterday
sounded a clarion call to the prole
tarian masses and Communist parties
throughout the world to support the
Chinese revolution.
“In each factory or enterprise and in
every port of the world,” the paper
said, “there should be established com
mittees for enforcing the policy of
hands off the Chinese revolution.”
Declaring that two large American
munitions plants and all the capitalistic
countries of the world are supplying
tbe Chinese reactionary generals with
munitions and money, Pravda urged
the workers in all these countries reso
lutely to oppose all shipments of mu
nitions, to carry on the active revolu
tionary work among the soldiers of
their own countries and to mobilize the
masses against imperialistic interven
tion in China.
Pravda also urged recall of foreign
military forces from China. "The
present Soviet organization in China
constitutes a red light house casting
its rays into India, Indo-China, Korea,
the Philippine Islands and the entire
East and inspiring the* suppressed
