President. I am satisfied the: people of the countryat least If I may speak from cofnditions which prevail In my own State--are exerting every effort to get under cultivation the largest possible acreage of ground. but a great problem confronts us. and that is the problem of providing labor for the proper cultivation and harvesting of these great crops. A citizen of my State called upon me today. and seriously proposed that we suspend the operation of our immigration laws. so as to permit the introduction into the country of 250.000 Chinese to work upon the farms and in related industries in this country. I naturally assumed that. the language I used. would carry the impression that the suggestion found no favor in my mind. - Mr. President.
