Canada Turns Against Prohibition

It is no longer possible for either Americans or Canadians to refer complacently to their three thousand miles of undefended boundary over which not a shot has been fired for a hundred years. The Volstead Act has transformed that peaceful boundary into the firing line of the great war of prohibition, and is changing it from a source of mutual congratulation into one of international dispute. On the future of prohibition in Canada largely depends the comparative success or failure of the Volstead Act, in the Northern States of the Union at least, so that the possibilities of Canada going dry in the Volsteadian sense or becoming the most productive source of liquor supply to the Union must be of keen interest to all Americans, dry, wet and soggy.
