Senator Lodge thanks President Roosevelt for his previous letter and agrees that it is wise to run exercises with the Pacific Fleet. Lodge believes that more immigration inspectors are needed to investigate and prosecute violations of contract labor law. He hopes they can be hired under the civil service, but agents who are willing and able to prosecute fraud must be able to do “first rate detective work.”
