Mr. Speaker. Secretary of Labor Willard Wirtz has been doing an outstanding job in trying to improve the programs of recruitment in the area of migrant farm labor. His efforts in this respect have been accomplished by significant progres in achieving a decent wage for migrant farm labor tasks. The response to these dedicated. enlightened efforts of Secretary Wirtz have too often been scorn and critical abuse. That such criticism is unwarranted is now being borne out by actually experience in California where farm employers find the supply of domestic labor ample where fair wages and working conditions prevail. For this reason. I place in the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD an editorial which appeared in the May 14. 1965. issue of the Criterion. the weekly newspaper of the Catholic Archdiocese of Indianapolis. The editorial contains an intelligent. responsible tribute to the courage and wisdom of Secretary Wirtz in the handling of the migrant farm labor controversy. The editorial follows:
