They know the worth of freedom at first hand. We cannot afford to deny them admittance into our country. Mr. President. it has been alleged that the International Refugee Organization rather than the Displaced Persons Commission makes determinations of who is or is not a displaced person under the act. This results from confused thinking and from misinformation as to the actual operation of this program as well as of the present law itself. At the very first step of the process. the Displaced Persons Commission throws out 28.9 percent of all cases forwarded to the Displaced Persons Commission by the IRO.
