In the southwestern part of the United States live over 1-1/2 million people of Spanish mother tongue. The culture of those who live in the villages is in many respects more like that of 17th century Spain than modern America. Unable to compete with modern business and commercial agriculture they have lost most of their once large communal holdings of grazing land. Although many still own and cling to tiny plots of land and homes in the irrigated valleys, they are dependent upon outside wage labor. They are thus vulnerable in economic depressions and thrown upon public relief when no outside employment is available. At such times governmental relief agencies spend millions of dollars supporting them
