The British diverted 15.000 to Cyprus. and gave them a thorough screening. The British Covernment found that 1.000 of the 15.000 were Communist agents. or that they had voluntaritly joined the Communist organizations. Is that the kind of people we want in America? Our Military Intelligence officers tell us that we cannot have an efficient system of screening. We do not know whom we are getting. Our own committee reports show two camps in Germany where forged documents w/ere being manufactured wholesale to get immigrants into the United States. Admission to this country was sought through fraud and corruption. We are opening the door. here. for 200.000 more.
