The Senate is acting as a committee of the whole. and Senators have not the facts before them. I venture to say there are not 10 men out of the 96 Members of the Senate who know what the effect of the very bill they are considering. taken from the subcommittee. would be. Not 10 men out of the 96 know the provisions of the very bill they are taking away from the subcommittee. blindly asked to break down our immigration laws. The same committees and organizations who would have kept the gates wide open back in 1924 have now seized upon what they believe to be a sure opportunity to break through our immigration barriers in order to dump upon our already uneasy economy as many as 400.000 Europeans who would normally be barred during the lifetime of most of them from immigration to America under the quota numbers established by law. Deprived of its fancy dressing that is what the displaced persons movement is. It is simply an immigration movement inspired by the dire circumstances confronting the many. millions in Europe after the conflict of World War I. It is right and proper for the American people to have utmost sympathy for the unfortunate victims of oppression in the European countries. That does not mean that we should help them in a way that will do violence to our own way of life and constitute a real threat to our institutions and our national economy.
