Everything supporting the view desired by the producers was included. everything not supporting it was excluded. The film was propaganda. pure and simple. As a result. the brighter side of the migrant labor story failed to emerge. The production excluded everything which might tell the story of the progress which has been made in recent years in this field: the improvement in housing. the enactment of State legislation of various kindsnot only in our own State. but in other Statesthe efforts of local authorities. the upward trend in farm wage rates. and the progress in education. Regarding education of migrants. the report of the Presidents Committee on Migratory Labor says: There is a definite trend. particularly since 1954. of increased and sustained interest on the part of State departments of education. local school districts. and communities. and private organizations to provide for the educational needs of migrants. Mr. President.
