From Sicily my colleagues came back to Rome. I remained behind. I came through Calabria. because in the investigations that had been made by the Bureau of Immigration to that date no agent had ever gone back amongst the people from whom the immigrants come. and you will search the investigations of the bureau In vain to find a report from any man who went other than to the ports of embarkation or to the capitals of countries abroad or to chief cities. It is from Calabria that many come who are criticised. and neither the commission nor I would have felt that we were doing justice to what we had been directed to do. if this had not been done. for it must be borne in mind that we were specifically directed by the law that was passed to go to Europe. I came out from Calabria and went directly from there to Rome. where in the meantime the remainder of the commission had gone.
