Chairman and gentlemen of the committee. the gentlemen who represent the rural districts bring to this Congress the report that the farmers are not being sufficiently remunerated to enable them to hold on the farms the necessary labor to produce the Nations foodstuff. They bring to this Congress a correct report. There is today in progress the greatest residential and vocational immigration toward the city that has ever been in the history of the ages. and just as certain as the sun shines. behind the problem of the high cost of living is coming the graver and more sinister problem in the footsteps of the high cost of livingwidespread hunger. No man who has any common sense can look the situation in the face without coming to that conclusion. Gentlemen of the city bring to us a report that the people of the cities in many Instances are not able to buy the food proper and necessary to nourish their children.
