And so forth. The bill calls for an appropriation of $26.000.000. It authorizes the importation of farm labor. whether there is authority in our immigration lWws for it or not. Under our immigration laws only a limited quota of people are permitted to enter the United States in any given time. Under this bill there is no provision to eliminate the restriction on the immigration. but I really would have no objection at this time to that provision permitting the importation of Mexican labor if such labor is needed. I know from past experience we have secured a great deal of farm labor from Mexico and a great deal of it is available today. I concede that we may have a shortage of farm labor.
