In the future employment and unemployment compensation will become more of a major problem than it is today. and I should like to divert for 1 minute to suggest that in our consideration of other legislation coming to the floor of this House we ought to keep in mind that this great country. rich and powerful as it is. owes its first obligation to see that its affairs are conducted so that the men and women of these United. States of America get first place on job placements. on educational opportunities. and on opportunities for housing of which there is sul5h a great shortage in. this country today. That brings me where I should like to divert to say that .while it is almost out of order. it isso.relevant that Ishould like to point out that at the present time there have come into this country. without visa -47.000 people from foreign countries diiring the year 1946. There are at the present time 17.000 youngmen and women in this country taking advantage of the housing and taking advantage of the opportunities of our educatioaal Institutions. whereas we have a great shortage of opportunities for education. yes. even to the GIs who went out and defended this country in the four corners of the world who now. by reason of the disruption of educational facilities. want an opportunity to complete their education in this country. Seventeen thousand of these men and women of ours are displaced now In the educational institutions of this country by reason of the infiltration into this country of 17.000 students.
