This 10 per cent cut. if insisted on. would result in closing the customs offices in the interior States and consolidating other customs offices on the coast. and one result would be the cutting down of the efficiency of the Customs Service in stopping the smuggling of opium and other dangerous drugs. It would also result in a letting up on the checking of the importation of alien laborers from foreign countries.
