Traveling through Europe onels compelled constantly to pass the barriers of gendarmes when crossing the various borders. We would now import gendarmes and set them up along our Canadian and Mexican borders. This bill is simply a stalkinghorse for prohibition enforcenment. All this talk about immigrants getting across the border illegally and about getting by customs barriers is all "hokum." Our customs and immigration laws are now adequately enforced. Thus prohibition raises again its ugly headagain we are asked for more statutes. more money. to make a rope of sand to enforce that which is unenforceable. Is there to be no limit to prohibition grotesqueries?
