Mr. Chairman. the amendment is in order under the rules of the House. Perhaps the point of order objection is because my amendment lets the cat out of the bag. and that the major purpose of this bill is to bring in adult refugees. This amendment is a perfecting one to insure evacuation to the United States of child refugees and not adult refugees. Without my amendment one or more adults could be brought here for. every child. The childs care would be guaranteed. but the adults would not. We now have more than 10.000.000 unemployed people in the United States. including nurses. teachers. and tutors. I and many others are sick and tired of reading in the headlines of the press where this dukes child and that earls child and this duchess child is coming over here as a war refugee with a tutor and 2 or 3 nursemaids in the name of evacuating refugee children and providing homes for them during the war emergency.
