Although present Immigration forces are doing all they can to enforce the law. they are inadequate to cope with condit! along the Canadian border, rry {ull, commissioner general tion, said vesterday on his etiirn from an inspection trip. 1n addition to keeping out thousands of aliens seeking entry by illegal meth- ods, he said. immigration officers on the border are faced with the daily task of examining 100,000 aliens seek- ing admission through regular chan- nels. “The task,” he declared, “is an enor- mous one, and for its successful ac- complishment no expenditure of funds or personnel should be spared.” Practically the entire length of the ¢anadian boundary was found to be ined with allens ready to take advan. tage of an unpatrolied stretch to slip into American territory, the commis- «ioner said, adding that there was no doubt that many organized smuggling gangs were operating. Aliens have been apprehended, he veported, crawling_over the girders under the Niagara Falls Bridge, where confederates had been posted on both «nds to aid fhem in scaling the cliffs. Others, he sald, go on foot for weeks to find some point on the border not adequately guarded, or resort to matri- mony to avold the quota restrictions. On one day recently North Carolina shipped 475 carloads of potatoes. The value of the shipment was approxi- mately half a milllon dollars. Special!
