But I am asking the distinguished gentleman from Texas. would it not be equally fair and just. forgetting about the prisoners of warI just used that as an illustrationto give our friends at least the sameif we do not want to make it bettertreatme nt as we accord. our enemies? What harm would there be in carrying out the program of free ports somewhere in these United States. under proper guide and protection to our country. under assurance that the people in question will not become public charges. that the American people would not have to pay one dollar taxes for their upkeep? At the same timewithout any cost to the country we would be doing the humanitarian and the decent thing. and set an example for other nations upon whom we have called to let in refugees and save human lives. If the gentleman does not want to answer it. that is all right.
