President. the brave American boys we are now inducting into the combat forces of our country and sending to battlefields all over the world will some day. we hope and pray. return to their homes. They then will be confronted with many serious problems very personal to themselves. problems as vital to each of them as the present war problems are critical to our Government. If we do not act now to prevent it. immigrants from the devastated countries of Europe will swarm.over our land and devour its resources for making a living and enjoying the American standards of employment and life. as of old the locusts did in the land of Egypt. Those whom we now send to battle for American ideals. opportunities. and liberties will be confronted upon their return with what. for them. will be a stripped country. void of opportunity to them again to live normal. prosperous. happy lives. unless we now provide for their protection from such unfortunate and difficult conditions. I am convinced the Congress should now do those things which will protect our returning soldiers from the competition of alien elements in our augmented population after the war.
