ALIENS SNEAK IN

Far more vicisus than rum

rapidly increasing international
traffic in human beings through
which thousands of aliens enter
the United States annually by the
way of Cuba and western Florida,
lit was disclosed here today.
Suppression of the alien traffic
is among the objects of the new
anti-smuggling treaty which soon
may be concluded with the Cuban
government.
Stream Is Constant
information obtained by the In
ternational News Service disclosed
that through a new underground
railway comparable to the famous
channel by which negroes were
spirited out of the South during
slavery days--a constant stream OF
foreigners is moving Northward
| from the Florida swamps.
An organized smuggling system
has been developed in Havana.
More than 10000 Chinese, Russians,
Poles and southern Europeans are
now in Cuba awaiting their turn to
slip into the Emitted States.
For consideration, ranging from
! $50 to $3.50. the foreigners are
equipped with American clothes
and placed on Cuban fishing snlacks
for their trip to the Promised
Land
Most of the Cuban fishing is
done off the southwest coast. of
Florida and from these fishing
shoals the aliens are struggled
ashore in small boats
Find Refuge In Swamps
Once in Florida the aliens are
hidden away in the Everglade
swanps until they. can be moved
North.
Along the wild illorasses and the
snake-ridden jungles Of the With
lacoochee and Swanee rivers are
said to be numerous dens where
the foreigners must await a chance
to go TO the Northern cities.
Faced with the danger of fever,
hardships and not infrequently
starvation, the lot of these I'M
