Of course. the gentleman knows. if he has the situation there in mind. that we have 12 roads right around North Troy coming in from Canada. At the present time for those 12 roads we have one immigration patrol. The result is that there is a great amount of smuggling of aliens. narcotics. and of liquor. The amount of liquor that is smuggled down through our State is tremendous. My State has become the great rumnrunning avenue for the rest of New England and the eastern part of this country. by reason of its geographical situation. Now. the border immigration patrol is doing a wonderful work. It is made up of men of a high degree of intelligence. they are industrious. they know their work and they are honest. It is a specialized service. more so than any of the other border services. because the men who are dealing with immigration require a special knowledge of the laws and must use care and excellent judgment in the performance of their duties. I have every good word of commendation for that high class of men who are stationed along our northern border. both in the immigration and customs services.
