He said that it is impossibleand I know myself that it is impossiblefor a Member of Congress to go overseas and find out the real. true. honest situation. because the word leaks out one way or the other that you are a Congressman and consequently it is difficult for you to find out the real truth. There are strange things taking place in this Nation today. Under present immigration quotas only 307 Greeks are allowed in America annually. I personally have known many Greeks and they make the best of citizens. I have never seen one in jail or on relief rolls. They will all work. Only 569 Finns are permitted to immigrate to America yet little Finland paid her debts to the United States and her people are gallant and brave. At the same time other nationalities are pouring into this land by special Presidential directives. large quotas. and many other ways. As to this bill. may I say that -I am opposed to It for many reasons. the first of which is administration.
