In some places. it is true. in my district for example. we have 500 or more German war prisoners. But these are not enough. Now. what Is the advantage and what do we gain by taking away all of the Americans and sending them across and bringing in either war prisoners or refugees. who. perhaps. willremain in our country after the war is over? Are we remaking America by putting in their jobs people from abroad? What we are doing. whether .we realize it or not. is tearing up from his hoiie ties. taking out of this country an American boy. sending him across to fight. Perhaps he will return and perhaps he will not. and in his place here at home. it may be in his own home. there taking the chair which that boy formerly took at the table. sleeping in that boys bed. we send some refugee or some war prisoner. and after the war is over. he may remain here in the place of our boy. Yes. that is one way to help those from abroadone way to remake America. but it will be a sad day for this country if after the war is over we find our former way of life gone and our country and our Government in the hands of these newcomers.
