President. this is such an important subject that I feel we are justified in having adequate debate. I wish to say in the beginning that I fully appreciate the importance of the purposes of the resolution submitted by the Senator from West Virginia. I appreciate the importance of the subject which he aims to study. and I heartily agree with him that such a study should be carried on in all detail. and that we should know what our immigration policy should be. Mr. President. we have a problem which I submit is not merely an immigration problem. We have a problem which reaches out further than the mere question of the immigration policy of the United States. We have a problem which has been bequeathed to us by World War II. I wish to emphasize to all who may hear me that that problem consists of such factors as these: There are now 1.000.000 people. victims of the Germans. in the occupied areas. with complete uncertainty as to their fate. and unable to represent themselves.
