Speaker. those who have long observed the world of politics know well that rationality and logic often play only a small part in the minds of some men. There are those who cry for free trade for everyone else but protection for themselves. It is strange indeed when one finds that in this country we have long demanded protection for our industries in the face of competition from cheap foreign labor. but that we have at the same time imported such labor and expected our workers to compete against that Our history has seen the Importation of coolies and of indentured servants and slaves. all these have been outlawed for moral and humane reasons. But still we are asking our farmworkers to compete against the foreign labor that most industry is protected against. and that other workers have been protected against since the 1880s. It is ironic to note that Senator GOLDWATER favors the further extension of Public Law 78. and I think that President Thomas Lloyd. of the Amalgamated Butchers and Meatcutters Union. accurately portrayed the irony of the Senators stand in a recent letter to him: We have read your comments concerning the bracero or Mexican farm labor importation program.
