Why bring them all into the United States? Everyone sympathizes with the unfortunate children. especially at a time when their country is being bombed by the enemy. We have a liberal quota system at this time and. as you know. our quota system starts with the fiscal year. which was July 1. Why talk about the necessity for legislation when the quota can be used now for the children? I assume some feel our sympathies will run away with our good judgment at this critical period and they probably see an opportunity for increasing the quotas. Do not overlook the fact that so far most of the refugees are English children. When the time comes that there will be accommodations for children of other countries. countries that have practically been taken over by Germany. you will find a very large demand upon the people of this country to care for additional children. Much as I feel for the unfortunate people. still I also cannot overlook the fact that we have in our own midst children.
