I learned a good deal while I was over there last summer. I was informed that thousands of displaced persons came to our zone not only because they expectod better treatment than was accorded persons in other zones. but in the hope that we in America would open our hearts and cause the Congress to enact laws lowering the bars of immigration so that all of those in our zone would find a haven in America. I have made the statement on many occgsions since my return from abroad that so far as I was concerned. I would not lend my support to change our immigration laws in any respect in order to permit them to come to this country. On the contrary. I am for stopping all immigration for a period of 5 years so that we can put our own house in order.
