I have given these statistics because they demonstrate beyond description that crime Is no less in cities where most of the population is native born. If we take Washington we can see at a glance that such Is the fact. Washington has 435.000 residents. yet 53.000 were arrested last year. - I have repeatedly called the attention of the House to the fact that the only way to handle the immigration and naturalization problem is to administer the law and provide sufficient machinery. to do it. I was up along the Canadian border 10 days ago and I found 76 points of entry into the United States. and although under our law two doctors are supposed to examine every person. we only had 23 doctors along the whole border to attend to that great work. At Quebec there was coming into the United States 700 immigrants from Italy and other places. yet there was only 1 doctor there to perform the task of examination.
