Speech #690165210

I have offered an amendment for $102.000.000. That is sufficient as a starter for this year. That amount will enable the beginning of real coast and border patrol. My amendment will permit the department starting a real vigilant and effective liquor blockade. By next year. when we meet here next session. you will have a sufficient basis so that in 192728 they will be able to have a real border patrol that will really stop alcohol Importations over the border. and that it is estimated will cost at least four or five hundred million dollars a year. Of course you boys are all sincere. I know you want prohibition agents In your State. you want them snooping around your home. such as this bill establishes for New York.
