The bill should have been more liberal according to my viewpoint. but the rule of the majority decreed against expansion of its provisions and said it should be confined within rigid limits. I accept the dictum of the House and now accept the conference report. I believe the displaced persons bill will prove Itself so that we light expect Federal relief later. Meantime more than. 200.000 unfortunates. including 3.000 orphans. 2.000 refugee Czechs. and others will be permitted to come to our shores. I regret more than I can ever say. how much I deplore the injection or the consideration of religious bias or intolerance in conhection with such a bill. Such references have no basis in our American legislative system.
