Efficiency methods, which would
do Justice to those employed by
international business organiza-
tions. are being employed by op-
orators engaged in smuggling aliens
principally Chinese coolies-into
the United States. according to a
statement made by Immigration
Commissioner w. w. Husband last
night.
In view of the disturbed indus
trial situation confronting the
country and the reported Increas-
ing menace OF dangerous foreign
doctrine p-eachments, the govern
ment has just completed an analy-
sis of conditions. which indicat ties
an alarming situation.
of the Florida Keys. according
to Husband. the smuggling OF
Aliens is paying the operators a rich
return. The principal activities
concern Chinese coolies, and most
OF those desiring to enter the
United States pay $1,000 TO the
smuggler who agrees to get them
through.
The promises Of the smugglers
are often visionary. so far as entry
into the United States is concerned.
according to Husband. for in sew
eral instances clients were drugged
and landed in a tropical jungle on
the coast of Cuba. under the belief
that they were being set upon Amer
lean soil.
