It is absolutely impossible to have the thing put upon an efficient and honest basis and this has been my experience right along with it. I have no confidence whatever in the whole setup. During the time that our unemployment situation has been so bad I have procured figures indicating a steady increase in the number of immigrants allowed in here from foreign shores. Immigration has increased in the period July to November 1938. inclusive. as follows: July --------------------------------------------------- ------- 5.311 6.385 August ------------ ---------------------------5.952 7.357 September ---------------------------------------------------- 6.094 8.226 October ------------------------------------------------------- 7.543 8.225 November ---------------------------------------------------- 6.452 6.844 31.312 57.037 Or an average of 20 percent. Into this country. I am advised. large numbers are coming on visitors permits. who stay here and get jobs here and throw our own people out of employment.
