This fact has not been mentioned. but already four or five thousand Canadians have been mobilized. to be brought to New York State. Massachusetts. and other New England States. under the provisions of the joint resolution. to engage in agricultural labor. So far as foreign labor is concerned. practically the only thing the Joint resolution does is to waive the head tax and waive the provisions of the contractlabor law. which thus far has prohibited anyone from bringing in labor under a contract to do agricultural work. Under the provisions of the joint resolution we would pay the transportation of a selected group. That is about the only difference between the joint resolution and the strict requirements of the existing immigration law. Otherwise. there is no departure from the policy which was pursued during the year 1942 by the Farm Security Administration.
