More quality salad vegetables are grown and processed in the Salinas Valley than in any other place in the world and such conditions do not occur in the Salinas Valley. Any product grown in the Salinas Valley is thoroughly inspected for all imperfectionsby State inspectors and by industry selfinspection. for which there is none more strict in the United States. Moreover. the statement is an unfair and false slur upon the migrant workers. Certainly the publisher of this remark would not want to infer that the personal habits of the domestic migrant worker are inferior to those of the bracero from Mexico.

Such a remark. even if well founded. would be no less than treacherous sabotage.
