George Meader. the chief counsel for the Senate Committee to Investigate the National Defense Program. went to Europe and made an investigation of the conditions in the displacedpersons camps there. I read from the report which he made last year. which has been substantiated by investigations made by committees of the House of Representatives: Among the displaced persons there are a substantial number of undesirables. These persons do not desire to work. but expect to be cared for. and complain when things are not as well done as they think they should be. It is doubtful that any country would desire these people as immigrants. There is a report made to the American Congress. and yet the cry goes up that we must admit them without even an investigation.
