The Displacel Persons Act has now expired. but the need to bring young children into the United States continues. Within the last few weeks an article appeared in the Pathfinder magazine written by Evelyn Petersen. an outstanding journalist. That article estimated that at least 1.500 children were still available in Europe for immigration to the United States. Miss Petersen asked me if I was planning to introduce legislation to meet this need. I replied: "If enough people write or wire me I will proceed at once." As a result of that article I have received scores of letters from all over the United States from American men and women who desire to adopt children abroad and bring them here.
