H. 84 With Hon. George H. Boivin, min- ister of customs in the King Gov- ernment, telling his story of the de- partment as he told it with compel- ling sincerity and frankness before the West Middlesex Liberal conven- | tion at Strathroy on Thursday night, {| the Liberal party certainly has little | to fear from the customs probe in | the next election. Mr. Boivin snum- | erated several "terrible" charges made by Hon. H. H.

There need ds no fear, however, that the issue is to be between Byng and King, as Conser- vative newspapers would like to i it. It will be between Meighen and King, the same as in 1917, 1921 and 1925, and the result will be the same, in Mr. King's favor.

Formerly liquor was shipped by hills of lading from the railw ompany, upon which weigh bills/ were based for Japan, Cuba and Honolulu. (Laughter.) We undertook to see that no liquor was shipped in bond to countries that could not be reach. ed by the type of vessel on which the liquor was shipped, and we un- dertook also to see that only duty- aid liquor was shipped, and that the departyre and description of each boat was wired to United States authorities. -- . Estimates Unquestioned. "I would like to point out that no Question was ever made of Mr. Bur- eau's departmental estimates during three different sessions. They always went through without a word of suspicion or inquiry or warning by Conservatives that anything was wrong. And when the Conservatives were asked why they diq not bring up the charges concerning the de- partment sooner than they did, they said they did not know. Therefore, I say Mr. King did not know, and Was not aware of the conditions, and is not to be blamed for thinking that there was nothing wrong. And Mr. Bureau, in {ll-health, fafthiu] to thie party for 25 years, concerning whom there was no breath of scandal, was Bamed to the Senate before the cus- toms fnquiry; and then Mr. King is blamed for that." "The picture is not as black as it Is painted. The crmmittee proved little things that have §one by, but terrible charges pade by Mr. Stevens were not proven at all. He charged that the Liberals had stolen $350,- 000 from the treasury for political heelers, and that we had spent only one-tenth of this amount and that on preventive 'service for the cus toms. He charged that nine filing cabinets had been removed, with let- ters, from Mr. Bureau's office, but there was no evidence to prove the truth of that statement. And he charge me with robbing the depart- ment of ¥800,000 in gelling liquor oh 2 2. barge, which was totally untrue. And then there was this Moses Aziz case wherein, the second day I was at my desk, on the advice of the Deputy Minister and my sec- retary, I agreed to the withholding of a warrant, of committment of a three-months' jail sentence for a man down in the Maritimes. I Jett the correspondence between myself and the member asking for the with holding of the warrant on file for the committee because I had nothing to hide. And the man's sentence was not cancelled. He is serving his term nov. "I believe that If members of Par liament have representations to make to cabinet ministers those re- presentations should be heard, and it I am cabinet minister again they will be heard." -- No Disloyal Issue, "There will ba ne disloyal issue in the Province of Quebee," affirmed Mr, Boivin most emphatically in con cluding a wonderful oration. "It was only Hon. BE. L. Patenaude, lead~ er of a self-constituted independent Conservative party, who preached in the last election should Canada participaté in any British war without an appeal to the people, and he succeeded only in de- feating himself and all his followers.
