CHINESE BEING
SMUcCLED FROM
CUBA TO U. S.
Organized Bands Bringing Large
Groups Of 0rientais Into Flor.
ida Through Cuba

Tampa, Fla.-Chinese are being
struggled into the United States on
large scale by way of Cuba and
! Florida
Unless prompt action is taken by
authorities at Washington, condi-
tons will soon be as bad here as
they were on the Mexican border,
where it took five years to stamp
IL out
These are the statements OF I'm
migration Inspector Whalen OF this
district, in whose territory much
of the smuggling has been going
on. He has asked for aid.
I'VE have learned that within the
past few months almost $4,000 Chi
nese have been landed in Cuba,
says Whalen. According to the
statements we got from some of
the smuggling parties that we have
rounded up. these Chinese remain
in Cuba only long enough to make
arrangements with the smugglers
to be landed on the Florida coast.

The fact that all the Chinese
who have been arrested in this vi
cinfty are plentifully supplied with
money and are able to obtain I'M
limited funds to defray court ex-
penses indicates that there Is a
well-organized smuggling combine
at work.
The latest arrests in the SNUG
Cling war were in Charleston, s. c.,
where four Chinese were picked up.
with railroad tickets from Clear
water, Fla, short distance from
Tampa, to Washington. ID. c. Six
more were arrested the same day
at Duneden. Fla, also near Tampa
These six were taken when they
tried to buy railroad tickets to
Washington. They were escorted
by a Chinese who had taken out
naturalization papers This man
was later released on bail.
A month or two ago federal pro-
hibition officers while in search of
contraband liquor coming into
Tampa from Cuba, boarded a small
schooner and found, in addition to
$500 quarts of whisky, II Chinese
hiding in the hold.
The coast of Florida is an ideal
place for smuggling operations as
there are only a few places along
the entire 400 miles of coast line
where schooners cannot make an
easy landing. immigration officials,
Whalen points out, are greatly
in their work. as there
are only Is men in the state to COW
er the entire coast line.
II have only three men to guard
several hundred miles of shore line
in my district" says Whalen. ''Un-
less we get help, the situation is
likely to get beyond our control"
