Government will be an accessory to the cruel exploitation of labor. H.R. 11211. the McGovern bill. is fair to the big operators. By providing for a gradual reduction in the importation of Mexican contract labor over a 5year period. while reducing the adverse effects upon domestic farmworkers at the same time. it will cushion the readjustment to modern standards. H.R. 11211 is supported by church. civic. labor and familyfarm organizations. During the hearings on this legislation experts testified that consumer prices would not rise from an increase in farm wages. "But." as the overwhelming majority of Americans say. "even if prices were to go up a fraction. we would be glad to pay the tiny cost to get rid of this terrible stain on the Nations conscience."
