I wish to say that a study should be made of the expellee problem. but we should not complicate the problem now before usthat of taking care of the displaced personsby engaging at the same time in an effort to solve the expellee problem. The displacedpersons problem is the one we are now trying to solve. If we change the present definition of a displaced person. and make it include some 8.000.000 refugees. expellees. of German ethnic origin. we will serve the interests of neither displaced persons nor expellees. We shall so dilute this entire question that we shall not be able to bring Into the United States in the next. year or yea- and onehalf very many people at all. As was stated by the distinguished Senator from Maryland. all the camps at the port of embarkation are under the control of the IRO.
