President. I have stated these figures for the reason that there is a general misunderstanding about this matter. It is believed that we are being asked to pass a general immigration law and that we are trying to restrict the entrance of people into the United States. However. that is not true. This committee is not ready to report. and will not be ready to report until next year. on any of the plans in relation to a revision of the general immigration laws or in relation to the quotas. All this bill does. as has been stated dynamically by my dear friend. the Senator from Kentucky. is for the first time in history. by the action of the Government of the United States. to lead the way. 15y legislative means. in beginning to handle the problem presented by displaced personsin this case. 1.300.000 of them. When the war was over. there were approximately 8.000.000 displaced persons. and now that number has been reduced to 1.300.000.
