Mr. Speaker. I have been trying to come to an understanding of the strong Republican vote in favor of the migrant labor bill earlier * this week. I can understand the vote of those Republicans who have canning industries in their districts. and orchards and gardens. who wish to continue their present convenient labor arrangement with the Jamaicans and the Bahamans or displaced Americans. But it is hard for me to understand the vote of those Republicans from agricultural districts who are always greatly disturbed over the importation of any foreign agricultural commodity because they say it is produced by cheap labor.
