Rigid. fixed quotas such as we have today are illattuned to rapidly changing conditions. both within and without our shores. Too many. solely on the ground of where they were born. have suffered hardship and discrimination in seeking admission to the United States. The Presidents proposal to revise the quota system is flexible and. if enacted. can meet our own needs in relation to the urgencies of our friends and allies. Because Great Britain used only some 20odd thousand out of the 65.000 allotted to her. we have such backlog demand as 266.184 from Italy. 105.690 from Greece. 52.534 from Portugal. 61.000 from Poland. Consider. too. that of the 17.756 alloted her.
