Circumstances might have brought the violation at the door of our own home. I notice a letter written by Mr. .L. C. Andrews. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. dated April 23. 1926. in which our distinguished chairman of the Immigration Committee had printed In the report in which Mr. Andrews states the following: "That the preponderance of law violations come from the foreignborn element." I respectfully resent this sort of attack because it is based upon no proper survey and shows a lack of knowledge of the general conditions In the respective States. Mr. Andrews should know well enough that there are many natives dealing in liquor perhaps more than can be found among the foreign element.
