 1162 INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS OTHER THAN TREATIES [57 STAT. States shall consider illegal, from an immigration point of view, the continued stay of the worker in the territory of the United States, exception made of cases of physical impossibility. "Savings Fund "a. The respective agencies of the Government of the United States shall be responsible for the safekeeping of the sums con- tributed by the Mexican workers toward the formation of their Rural Savings Fund, until such sums are transferred to the Wells Fargo Bank and Union Trust Company of San Francisco for the account of the Bank of Mexico, S. A., which will transfer such amounts to the Mexican Agricultural Credit Bank. This last shall assume responsibility for the deposit, for the safekeeping and for the application, or in the absence of these, for the return of such amounts. "b. The Mexican Government through the Banco de Cr6dito Agricola will take care of the security of the savings of the workers to be used for payment of the agricultural implements, which may be made available to the Banco de Credito Agricola in accordance with exportation permits for shipment to Mexico with the under- standing that the Farm Security Administration will recommend priority treatment for such implements. "Numbers "As it is impossible to determine at this time the number of workers who may be needed in the United States for agricultural labor employment, the employer shall advise the Mexican Govern- ment from time to time as to the number needed. The Govern- ment of Mexico shall determine in each case the number of workers who may leave the country without detriment to its national economy. "General Considerations "It is understood that, with reference to the departure from Mexico of Mexican workers, who are not farm laborers, there shall govern in understandings reached by agencies of the respective Governments the same fundamental principles which have been applied here to the departure of farm labor. "It is understood that the employers will cooperate with such other agencies of the Government of the United States in carrying this understanding into effect whose authority under the laws of the United States are such as to contribute to the effectuation of the understanding. "Either Government shall have the right to renounce this understanding, giving appropriate notification to the other Government 90 days in advance.
