The Senator from North Carolina and 1 other Member of this body. together with myself. listened for 2 or 3 days to testimony before a Senate subcommittee on a bill to admit some 20.000 alien refugees to Alaska. I think the testimony was persuasive as to the pitiful condition of the refugees. whatever may be ones conclusions as to the merits of the legislation in question. which was supported by one of the executive branches of the Government. It appeared that a vast army of people in Europe is now in the refugee class. and it was suggested that even Great Britain. in the event of terrific difficulties over there. might become refugee problem No. 1 for the world. It is obvious that a great many persons have tried to get out of Germany and those portions of Europe now under the domination of the Reich. The Senator referred to persons entering Mexico.
