Mr. Chairman. I do not believe there is any danger of our having trouble with the immigration laws as the gentleman from Kentucky seems to visualize. The British quota is 65.000 a year. and they have about 50.000 yet for this year. They could take over all the little children under that quota without having a visitors visa or permit. However. this does not apply merely to British children. You may remember when Norway was invaded. that several Norwegian families migrated to England.. Likewise..thousands of Holland and Belgian andFrench children went to England. This would permit the evacuation of those children as well as British children if this legislation becomes law.
