Just why no action has been taken I am at a loss to understand. I am also advised on what I have reason to consider reliable authority that as many as 150 aliens. to say nothing of the liquor and narcotics. have been lnded within a very few days at one given point. I have no doubt that substantially these further facts can be demonstrated. that when new immigration officers are assigned to certain points they will be immediately approached with the advice that they can have a highpowered car and go on the pay roll for much more money per week than they receive from the Government if they will only "keep their mouths shut or be away from the docks at certain times when the boats arrive. If these men do not see fit to accept the terms of the alien bootleggers and have a sense of justice and decency and proper respect for their oaths of office. I am told they are either removed or some kind of complaint is filed against them.
