I would have supported this bill. His amendment. in my opinion. offered the only effective solution to this distressing problem of displaced persons. The amendment proposed was that this bill should become effective whenever the Governing Board of the International Refugee Organization should have certified to the United States that other nations. by similar action. had accepted for resettlement their fair share of displaced persons\in sufficient numbers to resettle all eligible displaced persons. In other words it would have required the other nations to take their fair share of displaced persons. thus settling the problem once and for all. But the present bill does not offer such a solution. If the United States should take 200.000 displaced persons as suggested by this bill. the problem would still remain unsolved as there would be left approximately 630.000 persons in DP camps. That the distinguished and able gentleman from Ohio was sincere in his effort to completely solve this problem in one concerted action is evidenced by the fact he is the author of the law making the United States a participant in the International Refugee Organization. While no one can be unmindful of the distressing situation confronting these displaced persons. we should not be expected to solve the problem alone. We must take into consideration there are countries which suffered severe manpower losses both in World War I and World War II where they now need men badly. There are still other countries which are not as fully developed as our own where there is more room for expansion and where there is no housing shortage. It is no more than fair and equitable. if we are willing to do our part that other nations of the International Refugee Organization assume their fair share of the responsibility. If this bill is passed we would be solving less than onefourth of the problem. and would probably be asked to accept additional thousands of displaced persons at a later dateafter the most desirable have already been resettled. Remember this.
