Furthermore. the bill changes the definition of displaced persons so as to bring in people now settled in China and the Philippine Islands. It is not our duty to take in all the peoples of the world who have been uprooted by the gigantic conflict through which we have just passed. Those people are settled in China or in the Philippines. yet the bill expands the definition of a displaced person as defined In the constitution of the International Refugee Organization. in order to admit them into our country. Mr. President. what are the further facts regarding this bill? Listen to this. please. This bill would block off 50 percent of the nonpreference immigration quotas. for certain groups. which have been received by other countries throughout the world. That will apply to displaced persons who are settled in other countries. They are making a living there. They are not in displacedpersons camps. they are not in Europe. This bill provides that those persons can have a preference of 50 percent of the nonpreference immigration quotas for entry into the United States. Mr. President. the bill discriminates rankly and unjustly against persons of German ethnic origin.
