During the past several years Californias treasury has been drained. its relief administrators harassed by demands impossible of fulfillment. and its private citizens constantly called upon to supplement an all too inadequate Government relief. Even Californias famed hospitality is now strained to the breaking point. According to Mr. Thomas W. McManus. secretary of the California Citizens Association. over 300.000 indigent migrants have come to California in the last 2 years. As a consequence of a survey conducted by this organization. It was discovered that. contrary to popular belief. these transients are not migratory farm laborers fitted for specialized farm work in California.
