Secretary Wirtz remains convinced that the days of a guaranteed labor supply. imported from abroad are over. According to a dispatch published in the New York Times on March 29. Secretary Wirtz made it plain. at a news conference that "Henceforth agriculture will have to get its labor supply through direct wage competition in the domestic labor market." Those of us who have carefully studied the migrant farm labor situation have long been convinced that if the farmer will provide decent family housing and decent wages. he will get the good. reliable American workers he needs to harvest his crops. I am glad that so distinguished an expert in the labor field as Willard Wirtz shares that view. As for the prospects that more foreign workers will be brought in through a back door bracero program under Public Law 414.
