It seems a bit unusual that American citizens should be stranded in foreign countries and at the same time there Is available transportation to rush displaced persons to this country. Mr. Speaker. a few days ago I called attention to the fact that there is much difficulty in getting accurate information relative to immigration. I am still of the opinion that the proper committee ought to have a fulldress investigation upon this Important subject. This courtry has many difficult Internal problems. Veterans are finding It difficult to get homes in which to live. Many of them are in school preparing for their future work. Does It not seem that immigration of a million people a year to this country. legally or illegally. should be stopped until there is an opportunity to get our own troubles adjusted? Improper screening and a lowering of the bars on immigration may admit many a smallfry Axis Sally or members of the terrorist Stern gang of Palestine. It is time to call a halt.
