Mr. Speaker. the period since the end of World War II is having a swelling impact on the British educational and class system. One result is a record British emigration. According to competent observers. this is the kind of comment one hears in England from families about to emigrate: "We must not confine our children to the limited opportunities weve had. In this country theres not only a lack of incentive and discouragement of initiative but. unless youve been to the right school. you can get only to a certain pointaccent too often counts more than ability. Theres too much class distnctiou." The current wave of emigration is the result of deepseated social and economic troubles. and is Indicative of a growing conviction that only by starting life anew in a country with an expanding economy can one achieve a rapid improvement in ones economic condition and have a higher standard of living such as we achieved in America. This situation Is discussed by George W. Oakes. wellknown journalist. in the magazine Freedom and Union.
