Many separate Agencies.
"Ai0ng eur Mexican border today
We have many different separate
governmental agencies, each. sepa-
fately watching the border FOR Its
6Mf1 special purposes.
I'VE have the customs services,
watching sfIiJggiefst or commercial
goods. we have the prohibition
unit, watching sF11tiEElers Of liduer.
We have the narcotic squRd, watch.
Ing sfdugglefs OF dangerous drugs.
We have the Department Of Agri-
culture agents, guarding against the
coming into this country OF forbid.
dell plants ana animals. we have
the quarantine service, guarding .us
against importatiofs OF human dis
eases.
at is strongly suggested that there
ought to be D Border police force
which would do the general police
work OF all these agencies.
This 'bofdaf patfer would do
the poNcing. and then the special
EVIL agencies would re-
ceive the suspected persons and
goods frein the border patrol and
would deal with them according
to the civil law.
"Without soins such thoroughly
military patrol work 1t
will be impossible to protect eur
frontiers against the numerous
different sorts or unlawful efforts
which now assail them"
Aided by Labor Shortage.
It ID noted at washington that
unauthorized aliens were recently
found In q considerable group
working in q railroad shop in New
Jersey. It IL feared that the pres
ent labor shortage In certain basic
industries will encourage d new
vast smuggling II aliens, who fire..
quently' are of an exceptionally de-
graded and dangerous character.
It is noted also that many foreign
seamen. including orientals, are
often able to lose themselves In our
ports after deserving their ships and
that our immigration appropriation
are insufficient for depofting these
aliens even when they are found
On this point Second Assistant
Secretary Of Labor White, VIII,
deals especially with such matters
related to this writer d recent re
vealing incident.
"sotne 5000 or 5000 DESERVING
Chinese seamen," he said, were
reported to the department as hav
ing accumulated at one of our
ports such was the estimate OF
their number. Suppose now that
We went and arrested them. The
cost OF deportinE them would be
about 100000 or $4,000 We
haven't the money"
Organize fraternity"
Under Secretary Davis "enroIl.
ment" plan our alien population
would itself Ufovide the money.
I'VE would organize eur alien
population" says Davis, into q
sort Of great fraternity. There
would be an annual tee from each
