Instead of bringing these persons to this country. where there is no use for them at this time. they should be occupying the areas to which I have referred. If we take 200.000 of the displaced persons. we will not have settled the problem. It is merely a crack in the door. The cry will be to take the rest of them. let us tear down the immigration barriers. If we want to settle the question. let them go to the British Empire. to the French Empire. to South Africa. or to Australia. to Brazil. the Argentine. and other South American countries which are underpopulated. Those countries have unlimited natural resources. and they desire these people.
