Mr. President. In the third paragraph of his letter: On account of our failure thus far to secure a satisfactory agreement with Canada. which. in my opinion. would materially reduce the liquor traffic coming over the Canadian border. the necessity of a thoroughgoing survey as to the best means of increasing the effectiveness of our border patrol is apparent. We know the length of the Canadian border. We know how many men it will take to enforce the law on that border. and we know that there is not onetenth the number of men there to enforce the law that there ought to be. and we know the reason is that the department has not the money appropriated to enable it to employ additional men.
