If we in Congress should revalidate this discredited philosophy in the year 1952 by approving S. 2550. we would. in my judgment. do more harm to our standing in the world than the Voice of America could undo in a decade. But I am getting ahead of myself. All I want to do at this point is to indicate the great difference in basic philosophy between the authors of S. 2550 and the authors of the HumphreyLehman bill. The HumphreyLehman bill represents an effort to remedy the shortcomings and racial bias of present law. and to make our immigration practices conform to the traditional American principles concerning which we so proudly boast. The HumphreyLehman bill is not a perfect bill. I know that.
