Earl `Rowe launched into. a criticism of the King Govern- ment, with special reference'to'* the customs scandal .

Mr. Rowe. charged that a year ago Mr. King knew that great sums of m-oney were being lost to the treasury of the Dom- inion through smuggling and illicit sale of liquor. He was asked by temperance organizations, churches and service clubs in the \Maritimes to do something about it,- but noth- ing was done until a short time be- fore the last election when $350,000" was voted to add`to the efficiency of the customs force and appoint ad- ditional inspectors.
