He is here. we have admitted him. lie has made good. and tie admission of his immediate family carries with it the very minimum of risk for society and the Government. I believe the sentiment in favor of limitation of immigration by a strong restrictive measure is almost unanimous. The necessity for such a measure must be apparent to every thoughtful American. More and more is the welfare of America bound up In the solution of this problem. The statement of Chairman JoiNeSoN in the RECORD of April 5. calling attention to the vast number of applications600.000for passports and viisas by persons In Russia. awaiting an opportunity to come to their relatives in the United States. and his further statement that the reports that there are now in Warsaw 70.000 people trying to get to the United States are true. has been questioned. but has not been disproven. And the very fact that many. many refugees are temporarily domiciled in the countries on the western border of ]Russia. waiting to come here. temporarily domiciled. because those adjacent countries will not receive them as permanent residents. proves that those countries. In their own best interests. are now pursuing a policy more drastic than is proposed In this bill. And in further support of the chairmans statement.
