If the Prohibition Bureau is to be divorced entirely from the Treasury Department at this time it would seem that the activities of the Coast Guard would probably end after the goods are smuggled into the country. Heretofore they have taken a large part in the matter of transportation after the goods have actually been smuggled in. although there may not have been actual knowledge that the goods were smuggled in. The Coast Guard should be very much interested as to the way in which this bill may be pointing. and I would like to have the chairman of the committee state whether or not in his opinion a little later it will not necessarily follow that as far as tlhe law enforcement in this matter is concerned that the Coast Guard and the border patrol will not have to be annexed to the Department of Justice. In the future shall the activities of the Coast Guard end after their duties preventing smuggling have ceased? Will their activities end asfar as following tip the transportation part of it is concerned?
