However. according to the investigation of the Commission on Migratory Labor. enforcement of both statutes is in general not strict. although it varies from State to State. The Commission also found that. while eradication of child labor is primarily a State responsibility. few States have adequate childlabor laws applicable to agriculture. and still fewer States have adequately enforced the childlabor laws in existence. Closely related to the problem of child labor in agriculture is the lack of educational opportunity among migrant children to which I have alluded. The Commission on Migratory Labor concluded that because of the conflict between the nonlocal character of migratory people and the essential local character of the public school system. it is necessary for the Federal Government to give supplementary educational aid to the States with the provision that Federal activities should not compete with or displace locally provided services. The Presidents Commission recognizes the outstanding work done in the field of developing migrantlabor facilities by the States of New Jersey. New York. California.
