As Mr. Corsi pointed out at the hearings on these matters yesterday. Mr. McLeod is essentially a policeman. He has been trained as a policeman and he thinks like a policeman. His interest is in security matters. When he was given charge of the refugee program he proceeded to appoint other policemen to positions of authority in its administration. Thus the emphasis in administration of the program has been essentially changed from what was intended when the act was passed. The act is in the class of emergency legislation. designed to meet an immediate and pressing need. It was essentially humanitarian in outlook and purpose. even though it has been hedged about with various qualifications and safety provisions.
