Everyone knows that if workers in the South and the West are unable to get jobs. they will surely drift to the great metropolitan centers of the northeast. If this happens. the problems which now beset those cities will be multiplied many times. Like all other communities. the cities must provide at the minimum some sort of food. some sort of shelter. and I might add. some amount of water. to the persons residing in their confines. whether permanent residents or migrants. Mr. President. if anyone has any doubts on this point. may I suggest that the mayors of the principal northeastern cities be asked to give their opinion as to the problems they would face if two and a half million persons looking for work from the South and the West descended on them in the next 5 years.
