The worth and dignity of the human soul cannot be compressed into a decimal point. But for what such figures are worth. let us remember that the additional displaced persons who would be admitted under the terms of the minority substitute would be only 104.000 more than the number admissible under the present law. an increment of less than onetenth of 1 percent of our total population. yet this infinitesimal addition to our population would go a long way toward the solution of the entire displaced persons problem. The displaced persons would benefit by being given a new lease on life. and we Americans would benefit. as we always have. from immigration. New talents. skills. and strength would be added to our Nation. These people bring with them a fresh and revitalized appreciation of liberty and the democratic way of life.
