Any bill that will effectuate the object of transferring to the Department of Justice the enforcement of the prohibition law I shall most heartily support. I think the passage of this resolution is unnecessary. The Judiciary Committee is now considering this matter. The Committee on Immigration has had its attention challenged to the importance of strengthening the law in order to prohibit bootlegging upon our borders. bootlegging in immigrants. if not bootlegging in alcoholic liquor. So that two important committees of the Senate are now considering this question. and it seems to me that we are merely trying to avoid responsibility by creating more committees. That is one trouble with Congress. one trouble with the Government.
