But. as one member of the subcommittee. I should like to say that those who criticize the bill ignore entirely the fact that it is the first bill in the interest of displaced persons which has actually reached the stage of debate and decision. Second. it announces the policy that this country will treat the problem as a problem entirely separate from immigration policy and that we will resettle a certain number of displaced persons. A third great principle which it enunciates is that we do not accept displaced persons solely upon the ground of the selfinterest of this country. It does not propose that displaced persons be selected solely upon the basis of the tasks which they might perform in this country.
