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-opcration of Government officials. Police oFficersâ€"members of the meorruptible Royal Canadian Mounted «were withdrawn from the Quebec boundary line at the request of the smuggling ring. Honest traders had asked for inzreased police protection, but the King Government preferred to Grant the request of those who were defrauding D the on biic re V enue. Stolen automobiles. smuggled into Canada with the connivance of Cusroms officzals. were sold for a pittance to friends of the """r Gavel .ment, and those found guilty were allowed not -LALAb only to go unpunished. but to continue their nefarious trade. Smuggled liquor selling was engaged in on a large scale by ‘Justcms officials whose duty it was to protect the Treasury. 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. 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. Corrupt officials were unpunished and promoted; honest officials were punished and demoted.
