Supplementing what -the gentleman has said. thereby we have sort of chipped off here and chipped off there pieces of the national origins theory. Also. soon after World War II. .we passed the Displaced Persons Act. under which we admitted several hundred thousand persons who had been displacedas a result of the terrors of Hitler and Mussolini. Then we passed the Refugee Relief Act. Then we passed the acts giving surcease. succor. and asylum to those victims of the earthquake in the Azores. we admitted those Portuguese. We admitted the victims of Communist rapine and plunder in Hungary. We admitted the refugees of Holland fleeing the terror of Sukarno in Indonesia. All those admissions were counter to the theory of national origins. As the gentleman so wisely stated. only one out of every three persons who came into the United States came in under the quota � system. I am sure the gentleman agrees that it is high time we did away with this national origins theory and really called a spade a spade. It has no further efficacy and utility in our system of immigration.
