He is not beholden to either of the litigants or any of the litigants or their attorneys. He operates fairly and impartially and it will not make any difference td him whether the bankrupt estate is $500 or $5.000.000. yet the Republican majority destroy this plan before it can be started. I now want to discuss a cut made to the extent of $1.500.000 in the Immigration and Naturalization Service. The amount of $342.000. covering 131 positions. was voluntarily deducted by this bureau before the matter came to the Subcommittee on Appropriations. There are in the course of a year 75.000.000 border crossings. There are 702.620 applications pending for citizenship. In 1946 it became necessary to deport 116.330 people. as compared with the insignificant number of 17.792 in 1939. In the first 6 months of the present fiscal year. that is. beginning July 1. 1946. there were 73.372 people deported. Also. in the first 6 months of the present fiscal year 249.039 alien seamen entered the United States. Is it sensible economy to cut viciously a bureau which protects the citizens of this country. and which will see that those alien seamen return to their ships as they should not enter the country illegally?
