I think myself there ought to be some definite and affirmative provision for an increase of that organizzation.. but I think that has not been the manner in which it has been built up. The department has had this fund provided and has from time to time increased it. as the funds and the work warranted the increases. Members of this committee should have heard the statement of Assistant Secretary White to the effect that we are barely scratching the surface in the way of deporting dangerous aliens. We are deporting now. or will deport under this appropriation. about 12.000 per year. With the indulgence of the committee. I read one statement made by him. from page 19 of the hearings heretofore referred to. This question was asked of Assistant Secretary White: To what extent are we meeting the demands for deportations. that is. those covered by the present law? You say we are getting out some 12.000 per year. and if we had the increased appropriation mentioned you could increase that approximately 10 per cent. Will that take care of the work that ought to be done under the present law.
