Huffmans algorithm occasionally generates compressed files


Question: Huffman's algorithm occasionally generates compressed files that are not smaller than the original. Prove that all compression algorithms must have this property (i.e., no matter what compression algorithm you design, some input files must always exist for which the algorithm generates compressed files that are not smaller than the originals).
