We must recognize the problems that will be faced. We must recognize the problem of housing. we must see that they are properly housed in rural districts where there is less crowding and less lack of housing facilities than in any urban center of the country. Let me say in reply to the remark made by the able Senator from Massachusetts. if I may. when he speaks of settling them where their kinsmen are situated. that is a very laudable and desirable thing. but I point out that under our present law they come in as nonquota immigrants. they are not even charged against a quota. So I think that plays less part In this situation than may be indicated in the first place. It is a good thing for the immigrants who have come here and established themselves as citizens of this country that close kinsmen should have a preference. But they are not even charged against the quotas. So that the displacedpersons question does not Involve to any great extent the question of kinsmen.
