I caused the record to be examined to determine exactly what the President had said upon this allimportant question. I found that as far back as December 22. 1945. he urged that all countries of the world make their contribution toward solving this problem. The President continued to remind the Congress from time to time of the necessity of passing emergency legislation to make an exception of these displaced persons and refugees. so that a substantial portion of them may enter- this country as immigrants. He spoke of the traditions of ourNation. He urged upon Congress that our country take the lead in setting the standard for all the World. so that other countries would then undertake their share of this task to solve this great human problem.
