President. I did not have an opportunity yesterday to say a word about the conference report providing compensation for certain World War II losses. on which the Senate will vote at 1:30. I find great satisfaction in the conference report in many respects. except its denial of what I consider to be equal justice to those who had the great misfortune to be refugees from nazism and other tyrannies and at the time were not citizens of the United States. when their property was seized. because. of course. they could not anticipate what would happen. It is very unwise for us to deny these unfortunate people a measure of Justice by denying it to them on the ground that they were not U.S. citizens. when their property was seized. This was an international holocaust.
