S. C.. title 2. sec. 192). I understand from remarks made earlier today in the House by the gentleman from New York chairman of the Committee on Immigration. that his committee will hold hearings early in August on several bills having to do with the immigration of political refugees. From letters received from home and from articles appearing in the newspapers. it would appear that the people of the United States are more particularly interested at this time in the emigration into the United States of children who may be war refugees from Great Britain and France. It was stated in the papers that some 200.000 of them waited in England for transportation abroad. and it was also stated that the British Government had felt that while transportation itself might be available to the United States. they did not have adequate convoy equipment in the form of destroyers. I presume. to protect those children on their way over here.
