Bills are pending. Mr. President. which start us on the road to tearing down tne immigration barriers of this Nation for the admission of millions of refugees and displaced persons from all over the world. We hear the plea of the some 700.000 refugees in the Greek civil war. of some 10.000.000 refugees in India. of millions in China. of some 700.000 Arabs displaced in the Palestine war. of tens of millions in eastern Europe who have not yet joined the ranks. The International Refugee Organization. in the occupied areas of Europe alone. is currently receiving applications at the rate of 20.000 a month and is taking on the rolls some 8.000 persons per month. Recently. upon the reactivation of the regular immigration quotas of Germany and Austria. there was an immediate registration of some 400.000 persons who are now on the waiting list. Mr. President. the present law has been falsely criticized as being unjust and discriminatory.
