In response to certain requests from my district. I have consulted with the State Department concerning methods and means and requirements for bringing British children into the United States. They inform me that the British immigration quota of 65.000 persons per year. with a maximum of 10 percent. or 6.500 persons per month. has not been reached and in all probability will not be reached. There is. therefore. ample allowance under the immigration statutes for all persons who presently desire to send their children to the United States. unless. of course. the numbers should greatly increase over present indications. The State Department informs me further that it is necessary for persons in the United States who are prepared to receive these children to execute an affidavit in duplicate. stating that they will be responsible. financially and otherwise. for the care of these children. and that they will not be allowed to become public charges. It is possible. under the regulations issued by the cable companies. to cable these affidavits to our consul general in London. thereby beating the mail by some 10 days or 2 weeks or more.
