Md.. where they are now employing 800 people. would be a godsend to the people of my district. I therefore plead with the Department of Labor and those responsible for the issuance of the new order which threatens to close the new factory to give every consideration to my plea and give me as much assistance as possible to secure jobs for unemployed American men and women. I am told that there are more than 12.000 alien refugees in our country who have overstayed their time. and that the Department of Labor is extending the time for these aliens. It is my belief that many of these aliens are taking the jobs which belong to Americans. I am sincerely of the belief that these thousands upon thousands of alien refugees will remain in the United States permanently. I am also sincere in the belief that these 12.000 aliens are merely the vanguard of additional thousands of aliens who are coming to this country at this time and will come in the future. It was my privilege during August of 1939 to make an official investigation for the House Committee on Appropriations of our foreign missions.
