Then we can justly be accused of hypocrisy when we state our desire to relieve the distress of the unfortunate people of other lands by allowing their admission to the United States. but actually put so many barriers in their path that admission becomes very nearly impossible. This is. of course. exactly the position in which the Nation has been placed by Mr. McLeod and his associates. Though the Refugee Relief Act made provision for the admission of 209.000 refugees. only 30.000 visas have been issued and fewer than 1.100 persons have actually entered the United States. In the face of the magnitude of the problem. 209.000 admissions would barely scratch the surface. How far short of the need must the 1.100 actually admitted fall?
