As a matter of fact. there are now an aggregate of assurances before the commission to cover more than 267.000 individuals. There never was a law more easily administered. The regulations set up by the Displaced Persons Commission permit the International Refugee Organization to certify displaced persons as being eligible under the provisions of the law. The records on all these persons are on file and it is only necessary to check the assurances with the records already assembled and send the displaced person for physical examination and visa. One of the commissioners of the Displaced Persons Commission stated that it was possible to employ mass selection due to the fact that the restrictions as to the agricutural preference and the preference accorded to persons from territories annexed by Russia were not being adhered to. I assume that the fact that the law provides that 30 percent of all displaced persons must be agricultural workers and that 40 percent must have come from territories annexed by a foreign power carries little weight with the commission.
