President. it has been very clearly pointed out in the report made to the House of Representatives by the Congressman from Washington. Mr. JOHNSON. that when the quota law was enacted a vacuum was created in this country by the interference with the free flow of common labor from Europe. This vacuum sucked in Mexicans. they being the nearest source of supply for that kind of labor. To apply a quota instantly along the southern border of the United States would create another vacuum so far as the demand for agricultural labor is concerned. and if it could not be filled from Mexico. it would have to be filled from some other source in order that a level might again be established.
