Why should their people be so discriminated against by virtue of the national origins theory. against which the President very properly inveighed. a theory which also flies in the face of our foreign policy? In one breath we say we wish to hold out a helping hand to you people in Italy. and you people in Greece. and you people in Spain. and you people in other parts of southern and eastern Europe. And in the other breath we do all in our power to wound their sensibilities. to curb their spirit and injure their feelings when it comes to immigration quotas. The President very properly pointed that out. In effect he said they are just as good as the British or the Germans.
