§ 10. Mr. JOHNSTONasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if any representations have been received from the Government of the United States relative to the illicit traffic in alcoholic 410 liquors between the Bahamas and the coast of the United States; and what steps he proposes to take to stop this irritancy of good relations between Great Britain and the United States?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINNo representations have been received from the United States Government since the conclusion of the Liquor Convention in January, 1924, which has had the effect of greatly reducing the amount of ocean smuggling, and has, I hope, removed any danger of friction that might have arisen from this cause between the two countries.
