Certainly. we accepted 31.000 of them. But to have done less would have been to cast even more odium upon our conduct. There are many other refugees of nations in Europe upon whom we build our hopes for the retention of the freedom which we have. and its expansion throughout the world. We cannot urge them to accept our way of life and subscribe to our conduct and our philosophy. and then when. with great patriotism and fervor in the cause of liberty. they rise in insurrection. placing themselves upon the altar of sacrifice. by our conduct fail to give adequate recognition to their heroism. While I speak upon the matter. may I suggest that there be no further delay in reporting to the Senate the bill which would amend the McCarran Act. so that the principles which we enunciate with great eloquence shall be made a reality and not mere "balderdash" by way of words?
