The gentleman represents an agricultural district. and I understand is a farmer limself. I wonder if he agrees with the statement made in New York City the other night by Carey McWilliams. California commissioner of immigration and housing. in a radio address over Town Hall of the Air. when he said as follows: Grapes of WrathSpeaking of the book written by John Steinbeckwhich. incidentally. is an accurate account of the living conditions of migratory labor in California. I want to ask the gentleman if he agrees that that book is an accurate description of the living conditions that confront migratory labor in California in general? We will admit that there are exceptions where these people are placed under extremely illhoused conditions. but is that a true picture of the general situation as it exists in California today?
