Mr. Commissioner. that you think you are doing very well this year. * * * This interesting report of the hearings. covering 97 pages. is worth reading by every man and woman in this House. One trouble with the Immigration Service is that it has not sufficient men. That is the trouble from actual observation. I am not criticizing this committee. and I am not now criticizing the Budget Bureau or the Budget system. but somewhere. somehow. sometime. somebody has got to look at least one year ahead. One real trouble in the Department of Labor is this: That every time they try to assign somebody from one branch of the work to another in order to help out they find there is a jam in that branch from which the transfer is desired. and the transfer can not be made. The office of the House Committee on Immigration is adding to their burdens. Many of the Members and hundreds and hundreds of civilians throughout the country write to the office of the chairman for some information about this or that thing. which may be a law or it may be a regulation. In order to relieve the strain we have begun to refer all such letters to the Commissioner of Immigration. In my opinion he anid his subordinate officers have not the help to take care of the mail of the public.
