Speech #600149335

But there is one deficiency here that I want to call attention to. Men talk about expenditures. and say. "Oh. well. expenses have to go on. and you can not correct them." Now there is a deficiency in this bill of $600.000 for the Department of Commerce and Labor. On its face it is apparently a deficiency in regard to the Immigration Service. In point of fact the major part of the deficiency has been caused by the extravagant expenditures of an immigration commission authorized by Congress. - That commission in a little over two years has spent or will have spent at the end of this fiscal year $450.1A0.02. No one has been informed of the items that go to make up that expenditure. The men who are members of that commissionMembers of Congress.
