The Watkins bill should be recognized by other free nations as a symbol which must lead to increased efforts on their part to throw open their own doors where they can. If we are going to profess leadership. Mr. President. we must accept its responsibilities. One of those responsibilities lie s in accepting this call to Christian duty. Earlier in the debate I discussed these unfortunate Anders Poles. some of whom are settled in England. I had prepared an amendment to the bill which would have allowed 5.000 visas to those Polish citizens. They are in the truest sense escapees. they are in the truest sense refugees.
