We can take care of our present business with a somewhat smaller force on account of certain economies which we are putting into effect in our method of handling cases. There are a great number of cases. for instance. in which the admission of an alien should properly be authorized at the port of entry. because he has a valid visa. but there is some technical flaw in his right to enter. Under the old system our Board of Special Inquiry at the port of entry used such flaws as a basis for excluding the alien and passing the whole problem to Washington on the aliens appeal. holding him in detention in the meantime at the expense of the Government and doubling the amount of work involved. instead of settling the case on its merits in the first place. Then the Board of Review at the central office reconsiders the case and very often admits the alien. This is one of many examples of ways in which we are improving our procedure and by better methods hope to get along with a smaller staff.
