aliens have been deported under war
rant proceedings, and during the past
six years, for which records have been
kept, 95,147 aliens subject to deporta-
ton have been permitted to depart
voluntarily without warrant proceedings,
or an aggregate of 187,304 aliens.
However, it should be borne in mind
that in most instances those who have
been permitted to depart voluntarily
without warrant proceedings have had
to be apprehended by the immigration
authorities before they requested the
privilege of departing voluntarily.
We are calling to the attention of the
Congress and those in authority the
vital importance of strengthening the
hands of the Labor Department in its
work Of oeporting aliens who have no
right to remain here. We have asked
for what we consider suitable appro-
priations for carrying on this necessary
work And I think it is but just for me
to state that our requests are receiving
favorable and sympathetic consideration
by Congress.

forcement policy, yet in the performance

nominated to be Secretary of the Treas
ury. After a turbulent career in the
House of Representatives, Gushing was
nominated three times within brief
period.
After the first rejection Tyler wrote
to the Senate in this diplomatic vein:
In submitting to you the name of
Caleb Cushing as Secretary of the
Treasury 1 did so in full view of his
consummate abilities, his unquestioned
patriotism and full capacity to dis
charge with honor to himself and ad-
vantage to his country the high and
important duties.
"Th> respect which I have for the
wisdom of the Senate has caused me
again, since his rejection, to reconsider
his merits and qualifications. This re-
view has satisfied me that 1 could not
have more able adviser in the admin
istration of public affairs or the country
a more faithful officer"
After which the Senate promptly re-
jected Cushings name again. Tyler
presented his name third time. The
resulting vote was 20 against and only
two votes for confirmation.
Some years before Cushing had pub
lished a long pamphlet, entitled "A
Reply to the Letter of J. Fenimore
Cooper" an answer to that famous nov
elist's caustic attack on the American
people. Curiously enough, in view of
the later developments, Cushing vehe-
mently defended the right of the Senate
to maintain its prerogatives in disputes
with the President. Cushing said:
You deny to the Senate of the
United States all right to express any
opinion upon the executive acts of the
Chief Magistrate. He may violate the
Constitution. but they must be blind
dumb, senSeleSS even, in view of the
prostration Of their own constitutional
powers as a coordinate branch of Con-
greSs and as the representations Of the
States of the Union"
All of which, though he wrote nearly
100 years ago, sounds strikingly like
some of the 1881 speeches in behalf Of
the dignity Of the Senate.
Cushing'S troubles were not over. He
had burning ambition TO be Chief
Justice, and was nominated for that
Office by President Grant. His political
enemies dug up a harmless letter OF
introduction Cushing had written in
March, 1861, to Jefferson Davis. Grant
saw that the nomination could not be
confirmed and so withdrew it.
Gushing, like fancy, gained fame
from his defeats. OF his talents Wen
dell Phillips had said: st regard him
as the most learned man now living
1t is said that he mastered French
Danish, Italian, Latin, Greek, German
Dutch and Portuguese. 1t was plain
however, that he did not speak the
language of the Senate.

fights found here and there among
quaint accounts of expeditions against
the pirates of the East Indies and ad-

verttsements Of daguerreotype studios
We see a parallel, with notifications, to
the excitement in Washington today.
At the time of Cushing's rejection
one Washington newspaper said:
This has been an eventful and ex
citing day. The Senate spent nearly
all day in executive session After tea,
or rather after brandy and water, they
took up and rejected Gushing, 27-19."
OF the scenes in the House, where
Gushing was serving the press said:
THE excitement and the buzz of hu-
man voices was tremendous. One men,
Der cried out, Boy, go and get two
brandy waters Another, Boy get gin
sling and a lemonade These were
brought in. Mr.. Cushing then handed
out the wine to the ladies at the mem
bers' desks. so that this Congress, which
began with a virtuouS resolution to ex-
clude all Intoxicating drinks from the
Capitol, ended by bringing wine and
brandy toddy into the House and drink
ing it at the members desks"
President Tyler was defeated again
on a nomination when he named David
Henshaw to be Secretary of the Navy.
HenshaW's opponents charged that he
was involved in questionable acts in
connection with the failure Of the Com
monwealth Bank of his home State.
The press agreed. however, that his re-
lection was a political move in retalia-
ton for the fact that he had assisted in
bouncing many good Wings unceremo-
niously out Of Office.
Henshaw Preferred Publicity.
Some present-day Americans yearn
for the good old days when presidential
nominations were considered in execu-
tive session. It would doubtless curb
considerable oratory, but it might have
drawbacks. For example, when Hen
shaw was rejected in 1914 he sent a
letter to the Senate, saying:
THE undersigned most respectfully
requests the Senate to remove the in
junction Of secrecy from the proceed
ings. Reports have been circulated that
charges derogatory Of the personal in
tegrity and moral character Of the I'M
dersigned were presented to the Senate,
and he is ready now, and will be ready
at all times, to repel and refute any
and every such charge by whomsoever
made"
Of Henshaw, Tyler said many years
later:
He was a gentleman who had won a
wide reputation in his native State and
who for the brief space during which
he continued at the head Of the Navy
Department acquitted himself with
great ability and to the entire salts
faction Of the Government. For causes
growing out of the state Of the times
and not his own dement's he was re-
jected by the Senate"
Yes, history repeats itself! On Janu-
airy 80, 1874, another of Tyler's nomi-
nations, that Of James M Porter of
Pennsylvania to be Secretary Of War,
was rejected by the Senate. On that
occasion. New York City newspaper

said, in words that would fit in well IN
almost any generation, 1T Is positively
declared by the Senators that they did
not vote upon political considerations,
just as a distinguished Senator from
Massachusetts, said in 1925, when the
Senate was about to reject another
Presidential nomination, The Senator

A Washington newspaper, after Hen
shaw and Porter had been rejected,
said, what q curious state of things

or Congress or a party! A Congress

gether by the tails and hung across a

tie tribute to legislators in general in
a poem entitled IAN Hour at the

Americans of 1881 who are shocked
by the modern invectives would take
heart if they would read the denuncia-
tions of a hundred years ago. After
Tyler'S quarrelS with Congress, one of
his numerous opponents issued a
lengthy booklet about the President,
and included these fiery statements:
"Avenging justice, though sometimes
slow, yet always sure, will soon thunder
anathemas upon your head. The ac-
cumulated misery your perfdy has
caused will yet be seen, like foul spirits,
passing before your vision. and make
you curse the day that gave you birth. -
One of the last of the old-time dis
puteS came with the nomination of
Henry Stanbery of Ohio by the Presi-
dent for the position of Attorney Cen
eral. Stanbery had held that office
previously, but had resigned to become
one of the counsel for Johnson. when
the Impeachment trial was pending.

of this particular phase Of the tmmt-
grafton law, 1t is my intention to avoid
any spectacular raids or sensational
methods in accomplishing the desired
results.
It is WILL to call to your attention
some Of the difficulties encountered by
immigration officers in deportation cases
Experience has demonstrated that II
would not be possible to effect the de-
portation in any one year OF all de-
portable aliens, nor would 1t be safe &c
predict that such results could be &C
complished in any period of years, be-
cause of the various steps which must
be followed under the law in effecting
deportation. Among these steps are the
following:
Locating the Aliens.
First-Locating the alien.
Second-Making a case which will
bear the test of the courts, which often
times entails the gathering of evidence
over an extensive area.
Notwithstanding the country OF
which the alien is a citizen or subject
Notwithstanding consent of the
country to which deportation is ordered
From this you will readily see that de-
porting an alien is not a simple matter
and does not consist in taking him into
custody, putting him on boat and bid
ding him God speed back to his native
country.
Let me impress upon you the growing
perpleXitieS with which we are con-
fronted in the influence which immi-
grafton yields upon our economic situa-
ton and the future of our native born
and naturalized workers. 1t is no longer
solely question Of supplying our labor
needs through the importation of for
eign labor. 1t is now a question of pro-
tecting the interests of our citizens and
the lawfully resident aliens now here,
and it also involves the maintenance OF
our American standards of living.
That our immigration laws need
strengthening, in legal applications to
the present situation is evidenced more
and more each year What have just
told you is proof of our needs.
While it may be to many matter of
regret that the United States can no
longer be regarded as a refuge for the
oppressed peoples of the world, as a
matter of fact the restriction of inn
migration was not adopted by the
United States until its absolute neces-
sity had been demonstrated, and in this
connection it is we'll to remember that
our country did not lead in limiting
immigration but rather that it followed
the example of practically every civilized
nation on earth.
