Do you expect those boys who go out and volunteer to feel happy when they get word that Congress. in order to make a pretenseyes. a pretenseof saving the taxpayers money. is going to cut off more than half of these rehabilitation loans to their families at home? This amendment really means that the Farm Security Administration will not be able to loan a few dollars to a poor family so it can buy a few chickens and a pig or two. This amendment is like saying to them: "You can go back to onecrop farming. back to growing just one crop that will exhaust your soil. and. when you cannot do anything else. then you can go to California. and. when you get there. become a migrant worker." Another amendment already adopted has said to these same people: "There will be no more migratory labor camps at all. but you can live behind a sign post or out on the road." I ask Members from the Pacific coast to think about some of these things. No. gentlemen. the issue here is not an agency nor travel expenses. The issue is the poor farm people.
