I think the country will be interested in this figure. Perhaps the chairman of the subcommittee can give us the amount more accurately. but as nearly as I can estimate it by the different items in the bill I make the saving due to prohibition some $13.800.000. I want also to mention just for a minute the consolidation of the Immigration Service and the Naturalization Service under an exceedingly able man by the name of Colonel MacCormick. Colonel MacCormick has done a great job in saving the Government money by the amalgamation of these two Services. and I want to say here and now that. although he is a Democratic appointee. he has kept politics out of his Department and has refused to appoint in his Department for political reasons. insisting that the Immigration and Naturalization Service shall be strictly under the civil service. This has not been true of some of the other Departments. For example. there were transferred from the Veterans Bureau some 67 lawyers to defend the Government in veterans insurance cases.
