Rusks statement that we might have to change the whole composition of the Nation in order to make his Job easier so that when he holds these interminable and innumerable conferences he cannot be accused of representing a system which discriminates. If we examine Mr. Rusks complaint and the complaints of those foreign elements who criticize our immigration policy. it seems apparent that there is no basis at all for criticism. He says that. when a foreigner sits down and reads our Immigration law. he is immediately appalled by the fact that we prefer immigrants from western and northern Europe. Let us examine that for a moment. just how many immigrants sit down and read our Immigration Act? Mr. Rusk says that they are not aware of the fact that we have passed innumerable pieces of legislation which have permitted several million people to come into this country without regard to national origin.
