Iowa. Nebraska. where many a German settled a generation or more ago to become an efficient American farmer and a good American citizen. Also. among these expellees of German ethnic origin there are famous glass blowers from Bohemia. clever cabinetmakers. experts in husbandry. chemists. foresters. and many. many others whoin line with an enlightened selective immigration policycould and would contribute much toward making this land of ours richer and more prosperous. All Americans have the fullest sympathy for the displaced persons who live a life of sorrow in the camps of central Europe. They should be given help and admittance into the western nations in accordance with a carefully conceived plan. The lot of the expellees is just as hard and just as undeserved. Moreover. their number is much greater. I ask for them the same that may be given to other displaced persons. as far as selective immigration and the work of IRO are concerned. I would like to ask the gentleman from New York where he gets his facts about these people being Nazis and followers of Hitler. If he can prove that statement.
