It is a sordid fact. Mr. President. that these victims of our own outrages at Potsdam are denied even a crust of bread from the huge stock piles of relief supplies contributed by this country through the International Refugee Organization. Every child is taken care of except the children of German ethnic origin. They have been barred ever since the International Refugee Organization was created. To add insult to injury. the proposals pending In the Congress. which I cannot help but feel were directly or indirectly Inspired by these pressure groups. would expand the present law to embrace hundreds of thousands of persons. whose only claim to displacedpersons status Is that they. together with millions of others. desire to migrate to the United States. while at the same time anyone who has German blood pulsing in his veins Is expressly excluded. In other words. if the bill becomes a law.
