The sugar. the end product. will be bought largely by the American housewife. in the open market. at prices in all probability substantially higher than those which now prevail. Mr. President. the bill for which present consideration has been moved may accurately and intelligently be described as being a bill. first. to import foreign contract labor into the United States to compete with the American workingman. in violation of established American principle and tradition that such shall not be done except under the emergency of war. second. to subject the smallscale American farmer who works with his hands to unfair competition by granting to the employer of foreign contract labor a subsidy not granted to others. third. to deplete further the Treasury of the United States. and fourth. for other purposes and with other effects which do not readily appear on the surface. Mr. President. the hearings on this bill were completed on March 12. 1947.
