The Senator proposes to strike out the words relating to experienced farm laborers in the first paragraph of the amendment. I presume he proposes to do that because of the suggestion made by the Senator from Pennsylvania that if those farm laborers come into this country they will not stay on the farm. but in a short time will go somewhere else. If that should happen. nobody would be hurt. because if this preference is not put in here that number of farm laborers could come into this country. not as farm laborers but as immigrants. and could go where they pleased. I see no force in that. We are not asking for experienced farm labor and skilled farmers to meet the agricultural conditions of the country as a whole.
