I want to say to the Senator that during the summer of 1929. when I investigated the border patrol and the Customs Service both. from Oswego. N. Y.. to Rouses Point. over 200 miles. I visited every station and investigated into it. and I found that there were no prohibition men at all along that entire border. that while the border patrol and the Immigration Service did not primarily have any duties in enforcing the prohibition law. yet they were honestly and faithfully doing it as an incident of their regular duties. I found the customs boys just as honest and just as faithful as the immigration patrol was. The two of them were cooperating there. without any prohibition agents to assist them. They needed a hundred or more prohibition men there to stop that whole thing.
