"Each year the work that you and your colleagues do puts into Uncle Sam's pocket some three hundred million of dollars. In all the United States it costs the government but three cents to col lect each dollar of this amount. We wish every dollar that rightfully be longs to the government, but, not one penny more. You must neither be un fair to the importer nor "permit the gov ernmenUto lose its just dues.
