Mr. Chairman. I wish to correct the statement of the gentleman from Wisconsin that the immigration border patrolmen on the Detroit front who were given this six months furlough were not suffering. Practically all of these men were in financial distress when they were laid off. and after a few weeks they were in greater distress. Just across the border in Canada are at least 100.000 aliens trying to come across and enter the United States. If they do get in. they are very apt to take a job from some American. particularly in our city. There are many thousands in the city of Detroit alone who have to depend upon public and private welfare organizations.
