The distinguished Senator from Illinois has given the figures in respect to the immigrants who. under the nationalorigins formula. are permitted to apply for admission to the United States. from Italy. Greece. and other countries. Under any circumstances. those figures at best are tragically and pathetically small. As I recall. 5.800 are allowed to come to the United States from Italy. 308 from Greece. and only a handful of persons from Austria. Lithuania. Latvia. and Estonia. Is it not a fact that the situation is even more drastic and even worse than those figures would indicate. because under the Displaced Persons Act. which is continued in the McCarran bill. the number of displaced persons is charged to the quotas of the countries of their national origin. to the extent of 50 percent each year. with the result that the quota of a country such as Greece already is onehalf mortgaged up to the year 2000?
