First I should like to see my country solve and conclude that problem. by extending relief and refuge to the few of those persons who remain to be cared for. Furthermore. of course. the world is faced with a much larger problem. than that of displaced persons. There are millions of political refugees and expellees. From my point of view. if it is the wish of the people of America. and the wish of the Congress. to take care of the refugee and expellee problem. I should like to see us face that as an immigration problem. and do so directly. I think the problem of the citizens of Czechoslovakia to whom the Senator from New York has referred belongs in the field of immigration. rather than in the field of displaced persons. I am frightened that the Congress seeks to do by indirection. through an amended displaced persons bill. what it will not take action on directly by facing the larger immigration question. I wish only to make my position clear.
