Quite a problem. Will the men in the proposed military system have rations provided? A great deal of testimony is available in the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization. Each Member of Congress will receive from the Immigration Committee tomorrow a digest of the different statutes which apply at the borders. It is worth looking at. in view of the proposed legislation. Now. Mr. Chairman. when Congress raises the naturalization fee and sets up a new system of registration whereby a good sum of money is derived from it. the least that can be done is to provide adequate appropriations for the border patrol. At present. in one instance. at a key point on the north border. for the covering of a distance of 80 or 90 miles. but few guards are furnished. In that one small State a great many smuggled immigrants are being run through. It is an impossible task to prevent It with the present force that is provided. How many Members know that it is the Immigration Service that now plays a great hand in preventing the smuggling of liquor and merchandise?
