President. that is the unholy record of the United States Government. I am not talking about the Huns. I am not talking about the Mongolian invasion. I am talking about Americans and what their Government is thinking in the twentieth century. But that is not all of the story. Mr. President. On December 16. 1946. the General Assembly of the United Nations .Organization approved a constitution for the International Refugee Organization. pursuant to which there has been established an international organization of which the United States is a member and which costs this country approximately $73.000.000 a year for the purpose of caring for refugees and displaced persons. According to the provisions of that constitution. Mr. President. persons of German ethnic origin. or theGerman nationals and members of German minorities in other countries who have been transferred to Germany. are expressly excluded from the care and concern of the International Refugee Organization. Mr. President. the veryman who placed the dome on this Capitol. the very man who drew the design for the Congressional Library. the very men who painted the two great pictures of Washington Crossing the Delaware and Westward the Course of Empire Takes Its Wa3. which hang upon the walls of this building. were foreignborn persons who came to the United States of America.
