The charge has been made that our experience in handling the admission of displaced persons in the past demonstrates our inability to meet the subversive problem under a program of this nature. The fact is that it demonstrates just the opposite. Up to June 1952. the United States had admitted 393.542 displaced persons. In that time. the Immigration and Naturalization Service has issued warrants for only 33 of these people on grounds of criminalityor subversive intent. And only 2 of those 33 were persons suspected of subversive intentionsonly 2 out of a total of 393.542 persons who have entered this country as displaced persons. The percentage is so microscopic that it is not worth figuring.
