My statement was made upon the basis of consultation with members of the State Department who have been vitally concerned with this problem and have been in negotiation with other countries. They feel that we have now reached the point where America should act in order that other countries may have an Inducement to proceed along the same line. With the International Refugee Organization as it is. we have done nothing except that which the President has done by an Executive order. He is allowing displaced persons to come in under the quota system. and it is expected that by July 1 of this year as many as 50.000 of them may have come into this country.
