Mr. President. to invite the Belgians or to allow them to come In here as laborers. if each one of them is going to displace an American laborer. and that is precisely the condition that would exist in my State. We do not need laborers in California any more than they do in Montana or in Nevada. but we do need farmers and farm hands. We are usually short of labor of that kind. but it will be a misfortune to the State of California if there were to be any considerable influx of labor immigrants from Belgium or elsewhere..
