I On the Canadian border last summer I visited every station from Clayton. at the Thousand Islands. to Vermont. nearly 200 miles. There is not a prohibition agent on that bordernot one. The entire matter is left in the hands of the immigration patrol and the customs patrol. and neither of those patrols has any primary duty to catch bootleggers. That is only an incident. Their primary business is to catch illegal immigrants and the illegal importation of goods without paying the duty. It is an incident when they catch a bootlegger. Those boys were looking out for bootleggers too. however. and they were as efficient as they could be undr the circumstances.
