Both are contributing toward disunity at a time when the common objective and national unity must be paramount. Mr. Speaker. I have on my desk. as I have no doubt other Members of Congress have. similar complaints by the dozens. There is discrimination as to employment against naturalized citizens who have been here for many years just because at one time or another their father or forefathers came from Axis countries. Thousands of qualified Negroes find it impossible to secure positions because of discrimination against their race. Thus loyal citizens of the United States are prevented by reason of such discrimination from adding their efforts to the program of our national defense.
